using pultec as a de-esser

I thought I might be able to give something back to the forum that has helped me so much with day to day headscratching

Using the pultec as a de-esser is very easy and very quick to setup
now this is the way that I do it but there is many different options..
all you need to do is attenuate the frequency causing you trouble..

say 10 or more db at 3-5khz then record the attenuated vocal to another track and then cut and paste the tiny little essy bits that you need back into the original track..easy

I did it last night and it took me about 15 minutes and it worked like a dream....nob

At 15 minutes, why not just de-ess manually (i.e., volume automation)?? Takes about the same amount of time and it always sounds more natural....
