ItвЂ™s just easier for me to get each dialed in if I split it up like that. More often than not IвЂ™ll use Sibilance on females and RDe-Esser on males. If I had to give an edge for me in my room on my board, IвЂ™d go with Sibilance because the live version of it is basically a zero latency plugin whereas the other does introduce a small amount of latency. They work quite well with Sibilance better at detecting and RDe-Esser a bit better at controlling how you handle the response. For the longest time I was dead set on using RDe-Esser but ever since Sibilance came out IвЂ™ve started flopping around a bit. There are a few of the folks who sing where I work where I can get away with not having one but I usually have one in there anyway to catch any strays. Having a de-esser on most vocals is nearly a requirement. IвЂ™m sorry but in my search to find and decide honorable mentions there was a tie with my de-esser of choice. Now, this is a DSP hog so use at your own risk but if youвЂ™re after a buttery smooth long verbs, HReverb is where you can find what youвЂ™re looking for. That is all on top of the usual reverb settings. Right in the verb there is a built-in EQ, decay control, slap echo control, dynamics section (I usually run a de-esser here or one right before it in the plugin chain), and even a modulator built right in if you wanted to add a chorus effect.

Let me put it to ya this way, my daily driver is an SSL L500 that has some pretty legendary verbs onboard but I still use HReverb regularly to create a wash verb (like 4-5 seconds of washy verb) that my boss developed on HReverb and I couldnвЂ™t get the onboard stuff to imitate it that well. The tails in HReverb are just the smoothest you can imagine. I know, I know, the Abbey Road stuff sounds but you donвЂ™t have access to the number of variables to alter as you do with the HReverb. If there is a reverb that if you donвЂ™t own you should just go out and buy from Waves, HReverb is it. So get the demo, load it up, and try this out, ASAP! Yes it does add punch, but that isnвЂ™t all. ItвЂ™s quite hard to describe but in my experience, the best way to set it is to start at 0 and turn it up until you like it, than just leave it. EIther way, using the plugin like this, combined with proper attack and release settings really helps what you want from your source pop through and be present but then sit back in the mix. IвЂ™ll find myself backing off even more with acoustics and if I there is a particularly dynamic electric IвЂ™ll raise that up a bit. For guitars, I find myself dropping it down to about 70% to start and go from there based on the type and dynamics of the source involved. I know, I know, itвЂ™s a bit different but having the ability to wet/dry mix compression live without the need to suck additional audio paths is awesome. With just one knob you can setup parallel compression. Probably the thing that got me using it (and keeps me using it on electric guitars) is the mix knob. This plugin is packed with features that make this plugin incredibly useful. The first that came to mind is the HComp compressor.
