De-esser
The de-esser lets you remove excessive sibilance from a vocal performance, by
selecting the frequency range that contains the sibilants and heavily compressing
that frequency range.
Controls
The
De-ess button
switches the de-
esser in or out.
The
Threshold control
sets the
threshold in the same way as for the
compressor (for more details see the
Compressor section).
The
Bandwidth control
determines the
frequency range that is compressed.
How to Use the De-esser
1. Set the Threshold to minimum (-20)
2. With a signal going through the Voicebox, adjust the Bandwidth control until the
sibilants are heavily affected
3. Increase the Threshold until the sibilants are compressed in a natural-sounding way
Equaliser
An equaliser is a sophisticated tone control, that boosts or cuts selected frequency
bands, and so alters frequency response. By modifying different frequency bands in
this way, you modify the tone quality of vocals, which can fix problems with the
original sound, or help a track stand out in the mix, for example. For more details,
see the section How to Use Equalisation.
There are two types of equalisation on the Voicebox:
Low and High Eq
