OMG HOLY MOSES YOU ARE AMAZING!!! I am soooo beyond grateful for this walk through. It would have taken me literally 10 years to figure this out on my own!! YOU ARE AN AUDIO ANGEL!!!
You are a life saver! Just started doing sample recordings and about was knocked out of my chair with how strong my "esses" are. Thank you! New sub. :)
Thank you very much for this video. I got this set-up within a matter of seconds after watching this video. Shout out to Paul L for creating the plugin and providing us with a free option!
Thank you for the help! I am completely new at this stuff and just got the hang of recording voice overs. Now I'm doing all these steps to improve my audio from Noise Reduction, Compressing, Amplifying and now thanks to you and Paul L the De-esser. This tutorial was easy to follow and I would recommend you to a friend. Thanks again!
Wow! Thank you so much for this...I think I've only ever commented on one other UA-cam video when building my website. This was SOOOO helpful and I appreciate you so much creating this! Thank you a million!!!
THIS VIDEO HELPED ME SO MUCH!! Like, you've got no idea haha. Before this I was trying to manually edit all the s's and it was an utter nightmare, but this fixes everything like magic. THANK YOU!!!
The author's full name is Paul Licameli.

Pick as high a Size as the system will allow. 16000 is good. Low pitch tones on the left, high pitch tones on the right. Normal voices don't do that. That's the drilling teeth sound. The hump goes from roughly 4000Hz to 10000Hz, so those are the numbers I put in the DeEsser. Accuracy isn't that important. This works particularly well after you audiobook master because then the volume of the performance is fixed and you don't have to go chasing after it with the DeEsser Threshold setting. Last I used it, I picked -30.
Thanks for the tips and plugin! I have NO idea what I am doing in terms of audio correction, I am just trying to record nicely sounding meditations. This helped a bunch!
Man, this is my final hope. I've been producing vocals for 4 years now and i'm constantly learning. Recently was faced with crazy sharp s's something i've never had a problem with in the past. Got spitfish de-esser and it didn't make any difference at all. Played around with various different EQ techniques... still no luck. Gonna try this and hope it works out for me otherwise i'm not sure what i'm going to do.
Excellent videos (this is your second video i've benefitted from). Not only do you obviously know your stuff, but better still - you know how to convey your knowledge to others. In short - you're a great teacher. Thanks! :D
Wow! Thanks so much for the feedback Brian! Are there any other things you can think of that might help you with audio? Feel free to head to my site and drop my a DM joeessay.com. I’m curious what else I can provide!
Thank you, sir! I recently put together an amateur set-up so I can upload commentary videos. I noticed a bad sibilance during playback and done all I could to minimize it through audacity. Fortunately, I came across your video and the DeEsser works like a charm (Windows 10). Again, thank you so much for taking your time finding this solution for us.
Hello Joe, just as a side note. I bought a Rode NGT5 which I really like. However, this microphone has a tendency to increase the "Esser" problem. However, since last week, I've been going crazy trying to find the right setting for the DeEsser plug-in that thanks God you found. What I found is that this problem is found on the frequencies between 2kHz to 8kHz. So if you care to try, go to your settings and go to: "TEST FREQUENCIES BETWEEN" and plug 2000 and 8000 in the next line. I also found that it is very effective to change the "NUMBER OF FREQUENCY BANDS to 5. I figured to share this new information as thank's to you and to hopefully pass the help to more people. Best regards.
Congratulations on the new equipment! Always a happy day when new toys show up. Yes, that test is a great tool, and definitely needed practice for both the person and the microphone! Thanks for sharing the settings!
you are such a God send for me! Bless your heart for digging this out and sharing it! it has worked really well so far. Surprisingly it did seem to have some effect on the other parts of the vocal. So i decided to treat each problem part separately and that really worked! Thanks a ton.
Jamuna Priya I’m glad you found it helpful! You’re right, if you have the settings wrong, you can take out too much and cause damage to the other parts of your audio. Try narrowing the frequency to just where your “esses” are by looking at the Analyzer while one of your esses is highlighted.
Would be nice to see the spectrogram as well, to see the changes. Click the pull-down menu at the top of the blue area for the track, and select "multi-view."
Hey Joe, thanks so much for demonstrating this with a great video. I have achieved pretty clean and crisp audio overall, but have had trouble with sibilance in my recordings for voice over at times. I was able to apply this plug-in with your directions and I found you were spot on. This helps even the playing field, and just adding a touch seems to do the trick. You are the best! Much appreciated.
I just started recording myself a week ago. Quickly came to the revelation i'm 50% snake. This is the second vid i have looked at on the topic. This dude has earned my sub real quick.
Thank you so much. I have a strong Siblance so this was wonderful to learn. Im on windows and it took some exploring to end up where you were in the instructions. But it turned out great!
Salute to your efforts. Recently I was having too much loud mouth clicks in my news recording done from home because of this new corona. I tried everything to get rid of them but failed and only way left for me was finding them one by one and either using default repair tool each time or delete it manually. on 15 minutes recorded track it was very hard labor and time consuming. I was even thinking to give up my news caster career at least for time being till I could find a solution. But thanks to your this video I am able to get rid of over 90% just on default setting. I will fine tune the setting to get rid of 100% Thanks again and I have subscribed your channel so I can get more and more tips. I use audacity as I do not believe paying unreasonable amounts. Moody
Thank you! You gave very clear instructions, great for a person who is technically challenged like myself. It also helps that you had a Mac like I do. Most have instructions for windows.
Thank you! I just recorded 10 minutes of voiCeover about a very niCe gameSss and then realiSSSed that I was too cloSSSe to miCrophone :D You kinda saved my aSSSS :D
Hey Jeanri! Here's a link in the audacity how to that should help you out! manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_effect_generator_and_analyzer_plug_ins_on_windows.html
Another Great Help.... Wow... May I suggest you add few keywords like "harsh ssss" and "whistle due to ss"? Currently its too technical and some newbies may not understand it. You are God sent for many vocal artists and instructors like me.
As the great Luigi once said in the cult classic live action blockbuster Super Mario Bros.: “Nothing is impossible, Mario. Improbable, Unlikely, but never impossible.”
Fantastic! Take a look at this new video I made on another DeEsser option. It might prove to be even simpler than this! ua-cam.com/video/VCXKcnvh5zc/v-deo.htmlsi=I_WAtLaVJLLYJMyx
This is exactly what the Doctor ordered, but I can't make it work. I found de-esser, I placed it in Audacity's plug in folder, I open Audacity and go to the effects menu. I click on add/remove program and the de-esser plug in is not there. I go back to the program files and it's there. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? BTW, you have a natural ability for explaining how your tutorials work.
This one is a tough one. For good measure, make sure you completely shut down audacity and then start it again. If that doesn't work, then completely reboot. Let me know if that works. Hit me up by email!
@@joeessayvoice Found it Joe, I'm using Windows and I have Program Files and Program Files X86. The 86 is the newest version. The X86 Program files, Audacity will not accept any plug-ins. However, it worked fine using the older version. The de-esser is working great with more tweaking to make it better.
Thanks! This looks great. It seems to work wonderfully. Except now it's freezing. I tried to click the de-bug button but that's freezing too. Any ideas?
Hi Joe, thank you for the links. They really work. Could you make a video on audio book mastering with Audacity, and also explain how to keep your energy going in long-duration reads? Thank you again for your very instructive videos
Nice! Yes, it's about 3 layers of harbor freight moving blankets :) I've recorded live sessions with professional studios, and they love it. Works fantastic!
Thank you so much for this video! I think I have REALLY intense S's. They're sharp like a knife and when I tried using these settings nothing actually changed. It's an unfortunate pattern of speech since I record meditations/hypnosis audios a lot for my clients. If you have any tips I'd be sooo grateful!!
Play with the settings, adjust the threshold, raise and lower the frequency range you’re targeting for reduction. Like I said, it’s a very customizable thing and will be different per voice. Email me a sample of what you’ve got. I’d gladly provide feedback!
I lmao when i heard the "S" samples 😂. idk why. So... Shelly sells sharp seashells she purchased in San Francisco city with sixteen sisters on Saturdays and some Sundays. 😂😂😂
Thanks for the great tutorial. QUESTION: Do we want to keep the frequency range small? How do I go about knowing which range I should go for? I seem to have noticed that it removed a tad too much AND am trying to reduce the trial-and-error by identifying the proper frequency range, but do not know how to go about doing so.
Hey Angelo! I think it's best to highlight the particular offending 'ess' and use "plot spectrum" under "Analyze" to find the offending frequencies. If you do that, you'll see a particular bump on the range your 'ess' makes. This is the general frequency that you're trying to reduce the harshness of. Use these numbers to plug into the DeEsser and make the appropriate level of reduction. It will take a few runs to get it right, but don't give in!
Awesome instructions - thank you so much! My viewers will be very happy I found this tutorial.
Tutorial starts @1:42
Thank you Goldifarms! Glad you were able to help your viewers! I checked out your channel and it's pure ZEN! Awesome stuff!
Great. I've been using Spitfish De-esser in Audacity. But this one seems more customizable and easier to understand.
I was never able to actually use spit fish, but I’ve been happy with this one so far! Thanks for watching Vox!
Mantino that’s awesome!

To get more clicks out, increase the number of frequency bands
I might use the maximum number of bands on very short selections for spot treatment of the more resistant clicks.

Analyze > Plot Spectrum. Pick as high a Size as the system will allow. 16000 is good.

Simple, concrete, easy to follow. And the showing of what the declicker discovers visually I didnt even know ^^ Perfect way to experiment! Thx

Awesome Garry! Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you man. Saved my day!

Thank you
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!
As we say down here below the Manson-Nixon Line, you da man!
[edit] ... and subbed. Thank you.
Thanks Ted. I'll actually be headed that way fairly soon! Perhaps we can find some moon shine?
So who has been showing Silvia some strokes? Great video...nice find
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
I cannot find the DeEsser plugin! It is not in enabled or disabled..
Make sure you put it in the same folder as the other plugins, then turn Audacity completely off. Then restart it. See if that helps.
Great video and thanks for sharing! This was very helpful.
SwitchIntoTurbo that’s why I do it! Glad it was helpful!!
Thank you so much for this video! I think I have REALLY intense S's. They're sharp like a knife and when I tried using these settings nothing actually changed. It's an unfortunate pattern of speech since I record meditations/hypnosis audios a lot for my clients. If you have any tips I'd be sooo grateful!!
Play with the settings, adjust the threshold, raise and lower the frequency range you’re targeting for reduction. Like I said, it’s a very customizable thing and will be different per voice. Email me a sample of what you’ve got. I’d gladly provide feedback!
Thank you for your help, it means alot.
You're welcome Audiobooks Play! Hope it's helping you produce like mad!
I lmao when i heard the "S" samples 😂. idk why. So... Shelly sells sharp seashells she purchased in San Francisco city with sixteen sisters on Saturdays and some Sundays. 😂😂😂
Ooooh that’s a good one Angeler!
@@joeessayvoice Thanks and Thanks for the video. Using the de-esser now.
I really needed this! Thank you Sir :-)
You got it Melchor!!!
Thanks for the great tutorial. QUESTION: Do we want to keep the frequency range small? How do I go about knowing which range I should go for? I seem to have noticed that it removed a tad too much AND am trying to reduce the trial-and-error by identifying the proper frequency range, but do not know how to go about doing so.
Hey Angelo! I think it's best to highlight the particular offending 'ess' and use "plot spectrum" under "Analyze" to find the offending frequencies. If you do that, you'll see a particular bump on the range your 'ess' makes. This is the general frequency that you're trying to reduce the harshness of. Use these numbers to plug into the DeEsser and make the appropriate level of reduction. It will take a few runs to get it right, but don't give in!
Man, I wish I had your voice talent. Anyways, thank you for the tool! I was looking for something as effective as this =)
You're too nice BigSistahTips! I'm glad I could help!!
