From the mix tips
A de-esser is a specialized dynamic equalizer or compressor designed to attenuate harsh sibilance: the sharp high-frequency s, z, sh and ch sounds in a vocal.
It watches one high band, typically between 4 kHz and 10 kHz, where sibilance sits.
Unlike a static EQ that cuts all the time and dulls the track, it only turns down when the sibilance crosses a threshold.
The moment the harsh sound passes, the gain comes back, so the vocal keeps its air, detail and brightness.
Which de-esser do you go to on vocals?

The story
I look back at where I was a year ago compared to now. I am much more confident in my work, I am dedicated to my goals, and my main focus is impact.
Thank you to all music artists who inspire me and push me to see a different perspective. And thank you to my team. The fans. The youngings, the experts who have been doing this long before me, and my peers who surprise me daily.
