Hey guys, recently, I began mixing a track with vocals on it. The vocal track had quite a lot of background noise, so I used the Reafir plugin that comes with Reaper (sort of a noise reduction tool). It removed almost all of the noise, but the vocals sound a bit "underwater", with a lot of the top end gone.
Now, I tried to solve this by eqing and adding an exciter, and it partially solves it, but it comes with a huge amount of sibillance on the esses. Tried compressing, adding a de-esser, and more eq (was able to pinpoint the guilty frequencies), but it still comes out a lot. Does anybody have advice to this issue? this is my first time mixing vocals, always been doing instrumental stuff
