You could use the Sonitus Multiband Compressor as a de-esser. Here is an old knowledge base article about it http://www.cakewalk.com/s...reader.aspx/2007013063
Thanks, scook. I am familiar with that technique but didn't have a text based tut so that's been bookmarked. I was going to give that a try if I couldn't find this imaginary deesser I seem to have dreamed up (lol... I must be going crazy-er). For these specific tracks though I think I've got with just the EQ. Kind of surprised me actually but I guess there's a reason I love TH2 so much. Very easy to work with. If I was GR I'd probably be doing all sorts of wacky stuff to get it how I like.
One thing I did too was turn the TH2 gate completely off since there isn't any "silence" after I trimmed it all. It was having more of an effect on the signal than I thought but when I originally set these tracks up last year I HAD to turn up to where it was to get the noise down. Figured I had to leave it that way but apparently not. Hooray!
