Hi,

I've heard that ribbon mics are less prone to sibilance than, say, condensers. But is that just because they just have less top end?

If so, I guess this wouldn't solve a sibilance problem, because on boosting the high frequencies to get a desirable tone, wouldn't the sibilance return?

i had the ball off of my 58 for a while, people may have poked on it.

I notice some sibilance on vocals, kind of ugly... could the poking have caused this? or is this how this mic sounds? I sang about 6 inches away. it still sounds fine on certain guitar amps

I am doing voice-over work with a female who has a sibilant voice.
I am using a RODE NT2000 into a MOTU 896HD, utilizing the onboard preamps.
A previous session yielded an amount of sibilance that was hard to get rid of using a de-esser plugin .

Hey guys,

recently recorded some vox which had a fair bit of sibilance goin' on, so i think its time i invest in a de-esser, was looking at the dbx range, anyone got any recomendations?
