On the Waves Desser, when should the SideChain be in HighPass mode?
If you have several different types of ‘ess’ noises you wish to reduce, the HighPass filter is recommended. DeEsser responds better in HighPass mode when applied to, for example, a vocal track containing a variety of ‘ess’ frequencies and vocal inconsistencies. NOTE: the HighPass filter increases the chance of compressing other high frequency sounds such as strings and high pitched instruments.
