I recorded a girl reading some quotes and her s's came through quite
loudly. How can I fix that.
I'm using a presonus studio live 1642 and the included "capture"
software.

Use a different microphone. Move the microphone higher or lower.
Tape a pencil to the front of the microphone. Use different talent.
Stick bubble gum on their front teeth.

You can always use a de-esser or a frequency-selective compressor, but
the real solution is retracking. Didn't you notice it during tracking
in the first place?

Can you get her back? It doesn't sound as if you have the tools to
attempt de-essing. And it's a kludge anyway. Re-record and listen
more carefully to the monitoring. Do you need advice how to record
with less sibilance?

Yes, I'm quite new to recording.

I see Scott gave you some!

The point I would emphasise is to listen carefully WHILE recording, or
at least immediately afterwards, if you're not set up for monitoring.
"Fix in the mix" is only for emergency use - try to get it right in
the first place.

We all break this rule, of course :-)

and if she's really excessively sibilant, you're gonna have a problem.

What mic did you use?
