Like as de essing with pushed freqs from a seperate eq? i have not used scX's sidechains yet, but there is a quite nice dedicated de-esser in the new TAP LADSPA package. it has some problems at some settings (peaking setting did not work for me, but low-pass did), but can be made to work rather nicely if you choose the setting carefully. http://tap-plugins.sourceforge.net/ regards, j?rn -- The handles of a craftsman's tools bespeak an absolute simplicity, the plainest forms affording the greatest range of possibilities for the user's hand.
