So I don’t know if you heard those, but we have a bunch of little T’s and S’s that are kind of annoying and listen to the chorus.Īnd on this part, we can even notice the S that is way out of control, the one on the word. First, let’s have a quick listen to the track we’re going to work on today and just focus on those little sounds that we have, like the T’s the S’s that we have on this vocal.Īll right. Right here we have that de-esser so if you love to work with the channel strip, you’re all covered. So we also have the version of the de-esser straight in the channel strip. But for this video, I’m going to focus on the technique itself and work with the de-esser that we have included in Cubase. My go-to plugins as far as de-essers goes, is our user lead, the FabFilter Pro De-ess and the UAD Precision De-esser that I love to work with. Now you can use any de-esser plugins you want.

And the first way we can do this in Cubase is by using the de-esser plugin. So that’s why we need to keep them under control. And those sounds can be very annoying in the mix.

Now, when we’re talking about the de-essing of vocal we’re talking about getting under control some sounds that we have on a vocal like T’s, S’s and some harshness that can pop out of the vocal when we add processing like EQ, compression, saturation and so on. So let’s jump in Cubase and check this out. Now I’m going to share with you four ways. Okay, now let’s talk about de-essing and how we can de-ess vocals in Cubase 11. But before we jump in, know that my course, The Ultimate Cubase Mixing Masterclass is available. Very excited to be here with you today talking about mixing, Cubase and vocals, because we are going to talk about how to de-ess vocals in Cubase 11. What is going on? I’m Chris Selim here from Mixdown Online.

Let’s look at four ways we can de-ess vocals Cubase 11.
