with that, but the DS

certainly can. Use the Ctrl modifier (Mac) to solo the sidechain while finding the trouble
frequencies. Try a couple of different filter shapes to isolate the bleed as much as possible, and then use the
threshold control to suck out the bleed as much as you can without taking too much tone away from the drum.
Example #2: Vocal
• Here you might reach for the high pass filter first just to control the boom of the recording and some plosives,
but the first major port of call would probably be the compressor.
• Set up a 4:1 compressor with relatively slow attack and fast release for presence and then try out the
compressor types to see what works best on this voice.
• Now it’s time for the rest of the preamp controls, using a little Saturation to add some grit and maybe even a
little thump to add some body.
• From here, you move to the EQ, open up the top with the resonant high shelf, and try the two different mid-
range bands to see which the voice responds to best. Then, it’s on to the DS
2
. Band 1 can be set up for
classic de-essing, and then dial in Band 2 in the 2.5 kHz to 3.5 kHz range and just crack the threshold to
handle the increased nasal quality of the voice when the singer sings loudly.
• Try moving the DS
2
module pre- and post-compressor to see which placement handles the artifacts better.
• Lastly put the Expander first in the chain to help duck the headphone bleed for you automatically to cut down
on the amount of fader rides you’ll need to do later.
