FL Studio Vocal Mixing - How To De-ess Vocals

In this video, I share 3 ways to de-ess and remove harshness from vocals in FL Studio.
It's a simple and quick technique to make your vocals sound a lot more professional and smooth by reducing the harshness on certain syllables
0:00 - Intro
Method 1 - 1:00 - Maximus multi-band compression
Method 2 - 4:45 - Manually remove the frequency using the Edison plugin
Method 3 - 7:45 - Set up a dynamic EQ to listen for the harsh, sibilant sounds and reduce them.

Plugins - Maximus (FL Stock), The Edison (FL Stock) and TDR NOVA (Free plugin)

As with any method, let your ears guide you and listen with the whole mix on both headphones and speakers. Your ears will often become used to the harsh, sibilant sounds overtime and naturally block them out so do remember to take breaks.

You are helping a lot of people, not only for the producers but also save the ears of our listeners. Thank you a lot for your amazing high-quality tutorials!

You are the GOAT chief! I have never seen somebody so thorough and understanding. Especially with Edison. I have used Fl Studios since the 7th edition, but I never paid attention to how powerful it can be.

Thank you!

[Ranakade]

There's not one video of yours where I don't learn something super userful.

Therefore, I'm gonna just binge watch your whole channel XD
Keep up the good work!

The Edison plugin looked so beautiful. The result. It looks like art.

Man you are the absolute best when it comes to music production. I really don't believe it's possible for you to make a video that isn't useful or relevant.
Keep up the good work Mike!

[abinjohn]

Thanks a lot for such genuine efforts! I've been following the channel from the days when you used to upload videos on how you made your cover songs.
You have come a long way and you deserve it!
