I found the art form in drawing in my own compression curves with clip gain, then sending it to an actual compressor for a much smoother ride and tone. It comes from my days of tedious vocal tracking/tuning/editing when I was on staff with a big pop songwriter and every vocal had to be perfect. But to be honest, I prefer clip gaining both esses/breaths and overall dynamics. So in my mixing style I know that if I'm going to put a deesser on the end of my chain after boosting top and upper mid range, why do it twice?Īnd yes, RX has been a time saver for sure and has allowed me to do much less clip gain. If I could mix a whole record with volume only, I would. One thing I've learned with experience is getting to the end result with as little processing possible. De-essing first is in a way pre-guessing (I know it's all instantaneous, but you're setting something anticipating a process, rather than dealing with the process).This! Using a deesser first just to have to put one on at the end of the chain is one too many steps.
