it actually started of as Norwegian Woods!
back off the mic a little when you are making an Ess sound
Turn the mic slightly off axis
Use volume automation rather than D essing on heavy sibliance to avoid getting rid of air and presence. (once you know what to look for S sounds are rather obvious when you zoom into the wave form)
use a de esser sparingly
Super ....you could always try writing songs the rest of your life with no Ss in them!

DAMMIT NOW you tell me, my next album was gonna be SuprStar's Super Sexy Slutty Stripper's Secret Six Song Cd! Back to the drawing board.....
What's the problem with de-essing?
The only trouble I've ever had with it is over-doing it, and consequently playing god and giving the vocalist a lisp

Yeah, that's probably the best eh, I hope that's not as much work as it sounds..

It's not enough.. I've been thinking 'eq' the whole time, not so much 'volume'. Cutting highs is making it sound muffly, messing with the tone, and not really eliminating the problem. And where there ISN'T a problem, I tried de-esser automation to turn it down. I'm not convinced that's the easiest way... Good mic control is prolly best, but I already have some tracks down, so I'll be trying volume automation on the tough ones. Prolly easier than re-tracking and trying to teach mic control since *I* dont even know how to do it.
It's possible that you're de-essing the wrong band of frequencies.
