What's the most effective way to de-ess using only the EDS plugs? I
don't have any of the fancy-schmancy Waves stuff - could never afford
it at the time, and now they've gone beyond Mac OS9....

Thanks.

Hi Paul.
I'm not a mac guy, but folks here like these plugs.
(The guy who codes these works on Samplitude plugins).
It appears they are available for OS9.

Free is gooder.

I just dropped spitfish in on Lisa vocal - voila'! Much more
smootherer now.

Thanks.

I'll play with the compressor later. My initial tweakings didn't
compare to noLimit.

I see two hot topics that have been on my mind a lot lately...
digitalfishphone's Blockfish and de-essing. The blockfish compressor I use
on practically everything but bass (on bass, I use the silverspike Ruby
Tube, also free!), but I noticed that I would occasioally have ess problems
when really squeezing a vocal. So what I've been doing lately to combat
this is to split my lead vocal onto two tracks. On one channel I use the
EDS eq to roll off everything below somewhere around 3.8K and I lightly
compress that channel with the Blockfish. On the other lead vocal channel
(the "meat" channel) I use the EDS eq to roll off everything above roughly
3.2K and I can be more heavy handed with the Blockfish. The two channels I
group together for fader moves and automate the "meat" channel. If I still
run into an occasional SSS I just peel back the high pass channel for that
SSS sound and that generally solves it. You can use the EQ trims to adjust
the balance between the high pass and the "meat" channels, then do your
vocal eq-ing primarily on the meat channel.

Try it, you'll like it.
