Junst wondering, how do you de-ess your vocals?
My chain is :
gate , 1176(sometimes) , exciter , eq , limiter , de-esser.( extra eq&comp if needed).
So basically i like to de-ess at the end of the chain. is that a good positioning for it or should i de-ess earlier in the chain?
Also , i like the air from dolby A on vox(u know what i mean) any ideas how to fake it with plugins?
Thanks

Isn't it better to use the Desser earlier in the chain so you can compensate for its effect later on down?
Unless you are using it as an effect.
The only plug i noticed that can give decent air to vocals is the Massenberg EQ plug. I still prefer the real one(analog) for this, but in a pinch it works pretty well.
By the way, why do you have a gate before the 1176? Is this for an effect also?
I've done this on drums(kicks and snares-Drawmer DS201) but never on a vocal.
