hi

I use a combination of Waves De-esser and some additional carving with Waves Q6.

Another tip: ask the singer if he touches the back of his teeth too much. There lives the source of the excessive S´s.
Also: ask him to slightly get the mouth off mics axis when he reaches some critical passenges with too much S.
Sometimes a touch of S is also fine to cut thru a jammed mix.
