Roy, IntelDoc, (anyone who has advice),

I'm having a lot of trouble with esses. I know my recordings are not so high-quality that it really matters that much, but anyway. My current method, which I learned from an engineer in a studio in San Francisco, is to use a separate vocal reverb send whose aux track has the high end rolled off, but it makes the reverb murky, so I end up bringing up the regular reverb send to compensate, and the esses return in all their ear-lancing brightness. Rolling off the treble on the vocal track kills the dynamics of the vocals (in my opinion), and I haven't found the de-esser function of the Digirack Compressor very helpful. Mic techniques notwithstanding, can I get some general de-essing advice?

Roy, thanks for listening to Jeremy, Johnny-O, Josiane. It was fun recording it. I wrote it as a folksong about a decade ago, but when I sat down to record it, I had been listening to an old Subhumans record all day. Here's my latest, complete with splashy esses.




Jack Rabbit...so sorry for the late reply. Email me when you can and I can help with the DeEsser, and more.....too much to go into here.

-Roy

Default Feedback Please!!

My first mix with my 002R and PTLE 6.4
I didn't track it, they just bought me the raw tracks from a tracking session they did elsewhere.

Band are some young friends of mine from the local area.

At the moment I only have BOSE 101s to monitor through, so any advice/feedback from you seasoned pros would be great!!
Thanks so much.
