Problem with filtering out problem S's - Sandpapery Sound?

Audacity 2.0.5
Windows 7 x64 SP1


Hi Guys,

In the attached audio track, I’m having trouble isolating an issue I’m having around the letter S. The best way I can describe it is almost like a sandpapery kind of sound and the ‘S’ sound dragging on. I tried using digitialfish’s SPITFISH effect filter, but it really didn’t help.

Any tips?

You did not attach anything - please see here for how to attach files: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/how-to-attach-files-to-forum-posts/24026/1

There are other de-essers, like LISP http://bedroomproducersblog.com/2013/05/01/sleepy-time-dsp-lisp/and Paul Licameli’s De-Esser https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/updated-de-clicker-and-new-de-esser-for-speech/34283/1

Audacity 2.0.5 is very old now. The current 2.1.2 can be obtained from http://www.audacityteam.org/download/.
