The point is .... what De-esser do I like ? They all plugin wise do it a little differently but if you want silky s’s that sound like the track got better ? Unfortunately , it’s one of these Unobtanium devices . You can’t strap a de-esser over a whole track and expect not to have overall degradation ... but that’s why we have this one rot rodded to such a level that it’s hard to notice . In fact it’s the same level of filtration we use on doing vinyl mastering . The vinyl mastering is basically on another level and these little tools are all part of the bigger picture ... but sometimes I can get away with using one on a 2 track stereo master and actually make the thing sound so pleasing that I have to listen to it over and over to make sure I wasn’t imagining how well it worked ... credit to the techs because this ain’t no swap a little diode and pop it back in, this is a lot of upgrades down to the power supply of the actual De-Esser. So next time you get a messed up S in the mix and someone said “fix it in the mix” and couldn’t do it , we probably can. The more complex or dense a mix gets , the more it becomes a challenge (other sounds around it) .:: and sure it can be subtractive , however I’m compensating some EQ and it allows me to still pull the air on top of the voice and it really made this one sound beautiful , even after the rest of the instruments join in etc ... #deessing #deesser #mastering #mixing #fixitinthemix #fixitinthenow #masteringmonday #music #pop #singersongwriters (at Bernie Grundman Mastering Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4CIzIFvN1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ydwhqdi9xln8
