Sibilance in recordings needs to be controlled. The top end needs to be balanced and appropriate for the song. Period. You have to get it right at the source and in the mix. And sometimes additional refinement has to be done in mastering. 

Whatever it takes to get a clear, bright, but smooth and pleasant sounding top end. 

An overly sibilant recording/mix is a dead giveaway that you're listening to an amateur production, unless it's intentional. 

It's worse than a slightly dull/dark production in most cases, because it's distracting at best and even painful to listen to in some cases.

In this episode we're talking about different ways to do this at every stage of the process:

• We're explaining mic positioning techniques and other recording tricks.
• We're discussing signal flow, plugin order and of course go-to plugins, settings and starting points
• And we're talking about special tools and techniques outside your typical de-essers and EQs

Here's to a bright but smooth sounding future!
