  • A deesser is typically a compressor that has an inbuilt filter within the input chain.

    Split your vocal signal

    Send one cable into a gravity input

    Send the other cable into an EQ/filter and either highpass or bandpass it, selecting the frequencies as required.

    Route this into the sidechain input of the gravity

    You now have a deesser - compression will only be applied when the high/problem frequencies reach the threshold.

    • Yes - but this can add more computational power and phase issues (due to the bandpslitting that occurs). This doesn't mean it's not an option, just something to be aware of.

  • I guess you could use a graphical equalizer to cut out sounds within a specific frequency range. Aside from that, I don't know anything that could help.
