I record spoken-word guided meditations and, despite careful mic technique and pop-screen use, the “s” and “sh” sounds still jump out. I need a custom EQ curve—along with any targeted de-essing bands you recommend—that will tame that sibilance while actually making my voice clearer and warmer rather than dull. Here’s what I’m after: • A detailed EQ (and, if useful, de-esser) preset that I can drop straight into my DAW chain. • A brief note explaining why each band was chosen so I can make small tweaks later. • Fast turnaround; I’m hoping to test your first pass within a day or two and finalise immediately after one round of feedback. I’m happy to share a raw WAV sample so you can work with the exact source material. If you prefer specific tools—FabFilter Pro-Q, iZotope, ReaEQ, Audition’s native EQ—let me know; I can accommodate most plugins. Acceptance: once the curve removes the sharp edges around my “s” while keeping the rest of the vocal crisp and balanced across headphones and small speakers, we’re done.

Hi, Sibilance control on meditation vocals is a delicate job too aggressive and the voice loses air and presence, not enough and those sharp S sounds still cut through on headphones. I know exactly how to find that balance. Here is what I will deliver: Custom EQ curve — Targeted bands to warm the low-mids, tame harshness around 5-8kHz where sibilance lives, and keep the voice clear and present. De-esser settings — Frequency range and threshold recommendations tuned specifically to your voice. Explanation notes — Brief note for every band explaining why it was chosen so you can make small adjustments confidently. Format — Preset compatible with FabFilter Pro-Q, iZotope, Adobe Audition, or ReaEQ your choice. Please share a raw WAV sample and let me know your preferred DAW and plugins. Budget — $250 AUD. Turnaround — 24 hours after sample received.

Hi, I’d be happy to create a custom EQ and de-essing preset tailored specifically to your voice and recording chain. Once you send a raw WAV sample, I’ll analyze the exact sibilance frequencies, tonal balance, and vocal characteristics to build a preset that smooths harsh “s” and “sh” sounds while enhancing warmth, clarity, and overall listening comfort for guided meditations. You’ll receive: • A detailed EQ curve with exact frequency, gain, and Q settings. • Targeted de-esser recommendations (including frequency ranges and thresholds). • Brief explanations for each adjustment so you can confidently make future tweaks. • Settings optimized to translate well across headphones, earbuds, and small speakers. I work with FabFilter, iZotope, ReaEQ, Audition, and other common tools, so I can provide the preset in your preferred format. Turnaround for the first pass will be within 24–48 hours, and I’m happy to make one refinement round to ensure the result sounds natural, smooth, and professional. Looking forward to hearing the sample.

Hey, I would be happy to work with this. I can easily make a custom EQ curve and de-esser preset, or if you needed also a full fx chain. When I recieve materials I will hear it, analyze and start working, in 24 hours after it you will get the result (I will try to make it in shortest time) You will get: 1. A detailed EQ curve. 2. Recomendations like "how to use a de-esser and what the settings means". 3. Chain opimized to any speakers. I work mostly with FabFilter Pro-Q 3, Pro-DS, iZotope and other common tools, I think you already have all of this instruments. The first version of the treatment will take a maximum of 24 hours, and I will be happy to make a few more adjustments to ensure the result sounds natural, relaxing, and of course, to your satisfaction. Waiting for sample of your voice.

Hi there, As an audio engineer with extensive experience in voice-over production and audiobook mastering, I understand exactly how frustrating harsh sibilance can be—especially in guided meditations where the voice needs to feel warm, intimate, and deeply soothing. Taming sharp "s" and "sh" sounds without making the vocal sound dull or muffled is a delicate surgical process. I work daily with industry-leading tools like FabFilter Pro-Q 3 and iZotope, and I would love to build the perfect custom processing chain for your voice. Here is how I will deliver exactly what you are looking for: • Custom Pro-Q 3 / iZotope Preset: A clean, tailored EQ curve and dynamic de-essing chain that rounds off the harsh edges while preserving your voice's natural clarity and presence. • Explanatory Guide: A brief, easy-to-understand breakdown explaining why each frequency band was adjusted, giving you total control for future tweaks. • Fast Turnaround: I will analyze your raw WAV sample immediately and send over your first pass within 24–48 hours. I agree with your acceptance criteria—the vocal must sound perfectly balanced and crisp across both studio headphones and small mobile speakers. Please send over your raw WAV sample in chat, and let's bring that ultimate warmth and clarity to your meditation tracks! Best regards, Ali Alizadeh Kashani
