    A proper editing before the actual mix makes all the difference in the world, a lot of people watch top engineers videos and think they can do the same, but they forget those engineers have assistants giving them the mix already edited.

    Just go through the vocal manually - takes 10 minutes and guarantees a truly musical result. I deal with breaths (adjusting the gain or replacing with better breaths), cut out gaps, finesse cross-fades and identify problems that may need a restoration process, such as RX to remove mouth-noise during a note. I will use a de-esser though, often manually automating the vocal volume to solve the worst.

    I’ve never needed to use a De-esser on myself or anyone else I’ve recorded. The waves R-vox is the bomb. I create an auxiliary track with the R-vox on it. I set the input to where my mic is plugged into, and the output to say bus one. On the track that is being recorded, the input is then bus one, therefore the vocals are getting recorded through the R-vox. Usually I record with just enough of a limiter to prevent clipping and just enough noise gate to eliminate any room hiss. Then, depending on the song or style of music, I will compress fully after the fact. I think I learned that trick from reading an interview with Butch Vig. Great plug-in, easy to use and very effective. Also pretty transparent

    X-Noise is really good, but keep in mind, it works best when the hiss/noise is UNIFORM as it was in this video. If the noise is coming from somewhere else, and not uniform, you may have to do a bit more work to remove it. (Cutting out that frequency, using diff plugins, etc.)
