Well, de-essing MEANS reducing selected fqs’ volume…

However, try the following:

Monitor the de-esser’s side-chain, and emphasize offending fqs. Most de-essers have several controls 4 that. Try a peak @ 10Khz 4 “s”, and @ 6Khz 4 “sh”. Avoid shelving. Personally, I prefer the wideband mode 2 the HF only one.

If side chain access is available, try adding an additional eq unit and emphasizing offending fqs even more.

Use the look ahead feature if available. If not try advancing (negative delay) a copy of the track and feed it to the side-chain.

Adjust threshold 4 9 dB GR max.
If more, U might b working on the wrong fqs.

BTW: 18Khz is more of an “air” fq, not a “cutting” 1. U might b boosting 18k broadband, dragging along most harsh sibilance fqs. Trying boosting LESS in the right bands, or cutting wooly & muffled junk out.

De-essing can b achieved by inserting an eq in a compressor’s side chain as well.

If U’re in a DAW environment (I presume U r), U can:
1.Edit out the “s”s, “t”s & “sh”s, dump the cuts onto a different track, and balance the 2. –or-

2.Copy the track, emphasize offending fqs, gate, reverse phase and add 2 the original.

If compressing, try using a multi-band compressor like the C4 instead, and use a higher ratio on the HF band.

Unfortunately, no.

“S” levels r usually way under the fundamental’s level.
That means that ur limiter will sense the lower fqs instead, and GR will b triggered by mid or LF.
Actually, this will BOOST “s” levels relatively, when dynamic range is reduced….
That’s what the de-esser is 4: selective GR of given fqs.
