*argh*
Alright, so I have never been really satisfied with the sound of that vocal. He's got resonnant frequencies and sibilance like nothing I've run across before. This gives the voice such a large dynamic range that I have just not been able to figure out how to get it under control without absolutely squashing the life out of it. One of the biggest problems is that if I run him through a deesser, the key frequency seems to be around 3-5kHz but that's also where all his presence is. So if I fix the "stab you in the face" syllables, I end up with a flat vocal.
Anyone have some suggestions for how to handle this? I've tried ebverything I can think of.
