Edit a duplicate of the audio file or draw in automation dips if you're scared.
Or you could even cut them out and stick them on another track which is turned down and not being fed to the reverb, or turned up and only fed to the reverb!
The results are worth the effort, and in practise is doesn't take much longer than struggling with a de-esser that isn't quite working the way you want.
(unless your chorus goes "Cecilia Sells Sea Shells on the Shores of the Mississsipi"...)
Talking of which, remember Chris Eubank on Top of the Pops?
"Straight in at sixteen it's Suggs with Cecilia!"
(For those who don't know of Chris Eubank, he has a very pronounced lithp.) |
This might be the way to go...... definitely gonna take a while but it's all worth it I guess.... I still want to learn how to effectively use a de-esser though
