S's In Vocals

[berserk]

My vocals come out perfect but i still have one problem... When i say an "S" or an "S" noise in one of my tracks... They come out really loud and put me off... Is this just me or is there a way I can solve this?

Is it something to do with "De-Essing"... Because I tried the "C4 Male Ess De-Esser" and nothing really happened...

Thanks in advance...

the easiest way to get rid of allot of the P's and S's in your recording to back away from the mic a bit... allot of people have a misconception of mic handling and try to get too close, thinking it will pick them up better or something... it will pick up better, if you want to call it that, but it will pick up everything, including wha tyou don't want... the desser works to an extent, but it is best to get rid of it from the beginning as much as possible... so... stand about at least a foot from the mic and also get a pop filter... if you don't have the money for one... a coat hanger with pantyhose over it works pretty good... place that about 3-4 inches from the microphone... now stand back... do your thing... and enjoy

[light]

pop filter for sure

[eXampuL_oNe]

/\/\ Yeah i got a pop filter and spit screen, sounds perfect.. It really makes a big diffeence...

[Scholar]

DE-Esser man it goes a long way

[2_nice]

de-essers can make your shit sounds lispee and pop filters attenuate highs. learn to rap better !!!!!!
serious a bit of mic. control practice that shit

[nas2000xl]

like syn said it has a lot to do with mic placement. if you are having problems with de-essing try to eliminate it in the beginning in stead of waiting to do it in the mix.

1. use pop filter
2. back off the mic
3. try your mic at different angles
what i mean by that is tilt your mike about 30 degrees outward and
try not to speak directly into the mic but kinda off to the side or downward.

then if there is still some essing there then use a de-esser or eq to tame that frequency. de-essing usually occur from around 4k to 7k thats the area you want to focus on when de-essing. Waves RDEsser is great for this.

[SupaStar]

Definitely a windscreen for tha mic or varying positions of the microphone, a slight twist in angle of the microphone usually helps for people with different vocal and pronunciation issues or an ol trick in the book that doesn't affect quality at all is to place a pencil directly across the diaphragm of the mic and strap with some elastic band and there you go, no more p, b or s's and if your not on a budget, get a frequency jammer at the music store it will detect changes in volume and normalize it on the fly.
Hope I helped

[SyN]

frequency jammer? what sorta crazy stuff is that? you mean something like a Feedback Exterminator? ... also... just wanted to add one thing... i like what was said... "don't wait to fix it in the mix"... that is soooooooo true... try your hardest to NEVER let the words "just fix it in the mix" come out of your mouth or even cross your mind...

i'm out!

[SupaStar]

Frequency Jammer or what y'all call it but it this thing below that I got. I think its a mic pre amp type of thing but it does a great job and serves it purpose well.
