  • Love this series, Graham. I'm leanring a lot.

    Another option I like better because it is more flexible (from Gearslutz):

    - Duplicate the vocal track, and set fader to unity.

    - EQ the dup - HPF bass and mids, boost treble as much as possible to get it sounding "essy". Watch out for clipping the plug-in, and use the attenuator if needed.

    - Route this EQ'd vocal to an unused bus.

    - Place a keyable comp on 1st vocal track. Specify same bus as sidechain input, enable external key (if necessary).

  • Sufferin succotash! Thanks for another great video!

  • Great as usual, thanks. Listen, this makes e think... could you do a video or two on cool / useful things to do with a multi-band compressor? I have one but am like a monkey at the controls of a 747....

  • great video as always de-esseing is a very important part for vocals
