You have just recorded vocals, you did not forget the anti-pop filter BUT
some harsh sounds still remain. sss
How to get rid of those annoying sibilances, harsh sound on “s” “ss” “sh” “ch” “z” ?
=> You can edit by hand if you have time, but it can be very tedioussss !
Open the Audacity file you want to de-ess. Select the entire track (or just a portion, if you want to de-ess only a portion of the file). Go to Effect digitalfishphones: SPITFISH; Click on the 'listen' button. This will make it so you only hear the S sounds you want to remove. Move the 'Sense' and 'Depth' knobs to about 50%, then click Preview. Spitfish is a free De-esser plug-in developed by Digitalfishphones. I have been using this for a few months now, and notice a fair difference. Free Fl Studio Vsts Fl Studio 12.3 Free Download.
Or you can use a DE-ESSER, for automatically remove those annoying “s” in your vocal.
