Multiband and sibilance presets.

Does anyone know if these would work well to get rid of some sibilance in the male and female voices of I musical I shot without killing the music itself? It is a stereo track and will be rendered to 5.1 surround in the end.

Yes and no.
The presets are a starting point and most often need to be tweaked for optimal effectivness.

Thanks for responding rr,

I'll try them and start tweaking to see how it sounds.

I was thinking multitrack.. duh.
Any processing will affect everything in those frequencies in the stereo trk.. Experment using narrow bandwidths and "zero in" on the offending frequencies.

Yeah those presets killed the sound so much I decided I like the sibilance better. It is less noticeable when using a phantom center instead of a center channel in the surround mix. I may go with that.

Thanks,

split all the s's manually and bring them down in level to taste. Far better than smearing your whole vocal track.

ooops, sorry, stereo mixdown..............
