I've been trying to re-record the vocals on my latest album. I had mothballed my basement studio because I was getting tired of it, and now I'm working on my laptop in my room, using a Zoom H4n as a USB interface and microphone.
After months of experimenting, I think I finally have an idea of how to breath and how to open my throat up, giving my vocals a much breathier sound. That combined with the Zoom's pretty flat response and discovering that a granulator makes a great vocal "thickener" that I like the sound of, and well, now I have a sibilance issue. (The motivation behind the granulator was trying to find an alternative to doubling, since my voice is just a little too loose for that.)
I tried cutting at around 6kHz, with various widths and depths, but the only effect seemed to be dulling my voice while leaving the sibilance intact. I have no money for plugins, so I was hoping someone else might have any ideas. Recording with a different mic is not really an option at this point.
Here's a link to a track with new vocals:

Thanks for the help!
