You do an absolutely fantastic job of explaining these concepts. Very careful, deliberate, and exhaustively detailed without being confusing. Subscribed, and thank you for taking the time to do this. DAW's like Reaper can be intimidating to newer users like me, so I find myself relying on a small number of excellent teachers like yourself. Channels like yours make a real difference.
One thing that will really help you SEE the S sounds is opening the Action list in Reper, searching for Peaks: Toggle spectral peaks. The waveforms will then show different frequencies differentiated by color. Those colors can be later changed in View/Peak display settings. It's a little thing but it helps a lot!
Just found this video and I have to congratulate you on how easy you made it sound, a foreign concept is now completely understandable. Thanks a lot for your work!
I am embarrassed to admit how many years I have using Reaper as my full time DAW, and didn’t know about the Ctrl + Shft + drag shortcut. 🤦🏻♂️ Tbf, I do have a Behringer XTouch controller, so I generally will do fader automation, but still… Well done, and thanks!
this video is great bro, now i will use this js de-esser i didnt even know it existed ahahah. and that automation trick thingy you showed damn what a life saver is that. i was allways clicking those dots manually, didnt even know that this time selection technique existed. thanks brother
awesome awesome awesome! I was curious about something and forgive me if this sounds ridiculous: I had the JS De-esser on as part of my effects chain. The settings were default. I just searched out the effect and then forgot about it. I recorded some vocals then turned the de-esser off and on and heard a very subtle attenuation of typical offenders. So my question being, is this completely wrong to do??
Good video and well explained. In the end, the JS didn't seem to have much of a + impact on mitigating the "s" though?xx At least in my monitors. the WAVES worked much better and man that thing has been around forever!
Great Job. It seems the JS plug-in did a better job. They aren’t pretty but they work. I have quite a few also from SPL and Waves and for my vocals I always start with reaper plugins for my FX Chains, again they just work. Use them and build a library of chains and it starts to get easy
JS De-esser isn't even working for me. I have all of the settings the same as your screen and it makes the volume of the entire track reduce in volume by 15db as compared to when the plug in is off.

Thought you would like to know that is the top Google suggestion when I searched 'reaper audio reducing sibilance'. Very useful too! Thank you 🙂
Thanks - just came across this video while trying to de-ess a voice. Really helpful and so clear!

Great tip, thanks!
I use that spectral waveform! My ear daggers are teal and turquoise!
Guys like you make mixing fun. Thanks for the clip.

Thank you for this!
Great video! Just what I needed.
This was a huge help, thank you!
Learning a lot about the nuances of production, thanks for the great content
Glad I can be helpful, thanks for continuing to tune in!
Damn. What a good explanation.
great stuff although that background music is kinda distracting!
The music was a little loud on this one for sure

Thanks man! I owe my knowledge of that automation trick to my pal Myk and his channel Lets Talk About Reaper. Check him out if you haven’t before!

Thank you!
I'm not Joe's super hero 🎶🎶
Great!👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
I think he only blinked twice
The widdly guitar music in the background is annoying and unnecessary, but the video is a very clear explanation, thanks.

I'm more upset that there is more sibilance in "plosives" than plosives.

Love your explanation but please lose that background music....so distracting.
Lose the music bro. Totally detracts from what you are saying. Couldn’t get through the video.
