Use DeEsser 2 in Final Cut Pro for Mac
You can use the DeEsser 2 effect to reduce unwanted sibilance on a vocal track.
- In the Final Cut Pro timeline, select a clip with the DeEsser 2 effect applied, then open the effect’s settings in the Audio inspector. - To add the effect and show its controls, see Add Logic effects to clips in Final Cut Pro for Mac. 
- In DeEsser 2, use the Mode pop-up menu to choose a mode. - The default Relative mode works for most signals. 
- Identify the frequency you want to attenuate. - Sibilance in human voices typically occurs between 5 and 10 kHz. - Tip: To help identify the frequency you want to attenuate, insert Channel EQ in an Audio Effect slot before DeEsser 2 and watch the EQ Channel analyzer as the project plays. 
- Set the frequency you want to reduce using the Frequency knob. - To make the frequency easier to hear and identify, click the Filter Solo button. 
- Drag the Threshold knob to the level at which DeEsser 2 should start to apply reduction. - To set a narrow frequency range, click the Split Range button. To set a broader range, click the Wide Range button. 
- Drag the Max Reduction knob to set how much sibilance to reduce. - The Reduction meter shows how much sibilance DeEsser 2 is attenuating. - Note: When reducing sibilance, keep in mind that sibilance is a natural part of speech, and removing too much may make your vocals sound strange.
