I’ve tried De-essing using trial and error as well as from advice from other sources but this seems much more specifically laid out and easy to follow.

I’m excited to give these tips a shot.

Well, phase cancellation can be a powerful tool ;) And the best thing is that the rest of the signal doesn’t get affected in any way.

Thank you, Alex! I will add DeBess to the article and will also mention your technique.

Duplicate the track > insert the noise gate with an eq side-chained to isolate the sibilance > gate the sibilance > flip the polarity > mix as needed (the fader can be automated for more control, if needed, of coarse). Btw, my favorite de-esser is Airwindows DeBess – works better than any other plugin I’ve used. Highly recommended.
