TERRIBLE SIBILANCE!!

[Trebor]

I reduced the gain on my audio interface as I think my previous signal was way too hot. I have minor sibilance now so I don't know whether to de-ess?

If you want commercial-quality smoothness you'll need Paul-L's precision de-esser & de-clicker plugins,
(or commercial equivalents).

After has Paul-L's de-ess & de-click, (still needs noise-reduction).

Ok, thanks.

What kind of scale are you using for the spectrogram?

How did you work out the values to plug in for de-esser? My spectrogram doesn't show values for more than 14000hz even if I change the max in the dialogue box for this.

Cheers

From the spectrogram.

My spetrogram doesn't show values for more than 14000hz even if I change the max in the dialogue box for this.

There is an option to zoom in/out on the spectrogram ...
place the cursor on the spectrogram frequency scale, hold down the "ctrl" key, & use the mouse scroll-wheel ...
