Soundscape Studios. Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I always seem to have sibilance problems on my dialogue tracks for VO spots. My vocal chain is a TLM-103 (or a 414TL-II) into a D.W. Fearn VT-2 into an Amek/Neve 9098 C/L, then into the Steinberg 8/IO. I try to keep away from the 414 because of the exagerated highs, though the 103 is also a pretty bright mic. Are there any VST or DX plugs you guys are using for this?

Pim Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Use the side chain of a quality compressor. This works better and is fully adjustable than these pre-fab de-essers. The side chain is actualy a trigger, so if you split the vocal signal into two channels of your desk, one "normal" and on the second channel empasis the "SSss", and use the second channel as a trigger, this wil duck the unwanted "SSss" sounds. You have to connect the unprocessed channel to the compressor. Now, experiment with the settings... Good luck! My Music I always wondered what happened after the fade out?
