Creating a De-esser:
A de-esser reduces the sibilance or “sss” sound in a vocal part. The sidechain feature of
the RFX Compressor makes it possible to create a effective de-esser using the compressor
and the Multimode EQ. The Wet/Dry Mix on each effect should be set to 100%
The idea is to boost the high frequency content going to the sidechain (R input) so that
the compressor will turn down the volume in the presence of sibilance.
Multimode EQ Settings
E You can boost the low
frequencies in the right
channel to create a “de-
boomer”.
The left channel is set flat (no EQ). The right channel boosts hi-frequencies.
• Left Channel: Lowpass mode, Lowpass Rolloff = Off
• Right Channel: Highpass mode, 24dB/oct, HP Frequency = 8173Hz,
HP Resonance = 36%
Compressor Settings
Lookahead gives the compressor time to react to the vocal sibilance.
• Input Mode: L In/R Sidechain
• Threshold: -32dB (adjust to control amount of de-essing)

• Attack: Instantaneous
• Release: 40 msec
• Gain: 0dB
