> Hey whats de-essing?

It's an audio technique for removing fricatives from sound; the sharp part
of the "s" and "c" sounds in particular.  It's been around awhile... it was
done in the analog domain until DSPs caught up enough to be able to handle
it better digitally.  And better they do -- so you've recorded a track where
the singer was a bit to close to the mic and there's lots of SSSSylvessster
tthe Ccat ssssoundssss in the mixxxx.  A de-esser, when properly adjusted,
can do amazing things to clean this kinda stuff up.  HTH
