Let's get to know in detail about the De-Esser 2 plugin in Logic Pro 10. I generally like to use a De-Esser before the compressor, so I'm not compressing the unwanted sibilant sound but sometimes if it's a really essy recording, I will also use a De-Esser after the compressor as well as before the compressor.

However, you may not want the vocalist too far away from the microphone because you may capture more room sound which you may not want for your recording but a De-Esser can help reduce sibilance in your recording.īe careful though when you're De-Essing because if you have too much of this, then it may sound like the vocalist has got a bit of a lisp but the correct amount can make a vocal recording sound less harsh. If the vocalist is right up close to the microphone, then there may be more sibilance than if the vocalist is further away from the microphone. So, if you are at the side of the microphone slightly, it will sound less essy than if you're directly in front of the microphone. The placement of mic can help with sibilance as well the distance will make a difference with sibilance. It also depends on the position of the microphone. Sibilance also depends on the voice itself. It can also be used to smooth out high frequencies in other instruments such as hi-hats or cymbals.Ī De-Esser is essentially used on vocals to reduce any harsh hiss produced from the S, F or T sounds. A De-Esser is primarily used to reduce sibilance in vocal recordings.
