Every time I see the word De esser I don't know whether or not to re do the vocals with a pop filter or take my cloths off

I made the mistake years ago of buying a cheap but fancy-looking condenser mic.  It was the cause of most of my unwanted sibiliance back then.

So, the point is, be wary of cheap condensers that are overly bright, or you may be fighting sibilance endlessly.

That cheap mic now sits on a shelf with other junk just to create the illusion that I have a large mic selection.   In truth, I do almost everything with two mics.

Proper singing techniques and mic technique will eliminate most of that sort of problem before it starts and you have to try to fix it in the mix.

To assist in keeping them at bay......

I use a pop screen filter and EQ to tame the sibilants and..if one sneaks into the mix.....and if time permits, which it usually does, if the sibilants are particularly nasty..... I record it again or punch in a cleaner take.

Sonitus Multiband - I have used quite a few De-essers, and this one works as well as any. Set the attack really fast and solo the band you're working on to listen - then narrow it down until you only affect the problem area.
