Hi guys is there a good deesser in Cakewalk by bandlab? Where do I find it.

Thank you.

Open the ProChannel on that track, right-click on the blank space at the top, got to Insert module -> Style dial FX -> Smoother. Give it a go.

To open the ProChannel, go to Console view. At the top, under the Gain knob it says ProChannel. Tiny little arrow to the right. Click the arrow.

Thank you sir. I did find the smoother , it's not bad, just a little bit one-dimensional.

Have a look at this list (concentrating on the Free section ?)

Deesser article

Also do a search for free deesser on YouTube.

Airwindows also has one or two good free deessers and I've had decent success with TDR Nova, a dynamic EQ. Maybe it's just inexperience on my part, but I've never been totally happy with simply using a deesser on a lead vocal. So I use clip gain to get sibilance and plosives in check for lead vocals and a deesser to catch anything I missed or didn't reduce enough. Backing vox just gets a deesser and that's that. Would be nice if it was possible to copy clip gain automation for double tracked vocals...?

Marque select the automation and copy and paste. Just be careful with the start points timewise.

Clip based envelopes may not be copied.

WRT the OP, there are quite a few threads on De-essing on the old forum. To search for these threads the use the search string

site:forum.cakewalk.com de-essing

on Google.

As far as bundled plug-ins, the Sonitus Multiband may be used as a de-esser.

I suggest you enable VX-64 Vocal Strip using the Cakewalk Plug-In Manager. Useful for many things, it has a de-esser as one of its modules. Use the forum search to find out how to do that. Upper right corner there.
