Reply To: Routing single input to multiple channels + Ducker as a side-chain parallel comp

Are we talking about de-essing here?

If so, why not use EQ on the original channel? You can set the filter quality as narrow as you want for that. I do it and it is fairly effective.

I’m not even sure how you would make that work with a ducker triggered from an identical channel anyway. I suppose you would need to filter out everything except for the “esses” on the trigger channel. But then, you would have already gone beyond the amount of EQing it would take to just tweak out the “esses” on the original channel in the first place.

Am I missing something?
