James,

Impressive. That has made huge difference (I don't think I have seen anyone "learn their lesson" so quickly and so well.)

I was not aware of the functionality shown in the Melodyne video. I have the Essentials package (with Studio One Pro), but almost never use it. So thanks for that - I might have to start looking closer at that.

If you read the Off-Topics thread that I referred to previously, you will see that I was recommending a method that isolates those "esses" (etc) and reduces the volume (much like the Melodyne video is showing) - so a similar result...

Your list order is a huge improvement, too. Dealing with the correct details in the correct order. (before they get exaggerated)

The little bit of sibilance that remains is the "natural" amount. And the remaining vocal processing "works" - as a production choice...

Great work. Well done!
