Actually, ANY good vocal effects (Compression, reverb, de-essing,) would be great! I'm getting my feet wet with vocal mixing. It has to be AU format, unfortunately I am working on a mac. Thanks!
Any good FREE Audiounit de-esser plugins?

This EQ is pretty cool for free, especially on vocals. TDR feedback compressor would be useful. For reverb I'd recommend buying valhalla vintage verb for $50. You won't find better value in a plugin other than maybe their room reverb which is equally great.
There's some good impulses online but honestly I find them too static/dull for reverb. If you use a chorus plugin on subtle settings it can help a little.....

Sure there are free de-esser plugins about, search KVR or something.
Can always make your own "wide band de-esser" with a side chain compressor and HPF high up. Or you can do what lots of the pro's do and automate the s's and strong sibilant sounds down by hand.

You might wanna try spitfish http://www.digitalfishphones.com/main.php?item=2&subItem=5. It is a very very old plugin, but works good ;-)

you're probably better off just manually cleaning out those "sss", "tttt', "chhhh" sounds honestly. Depending on how the vocals are stacked you may find a great setting on a de-esser for 75% of a song only to find out that the other 25% the singer now sounds like he has a lisp. It can also dull the vocal track and rob its energy (I find). Anyway, try finding where the main body of the offending frequency is with an EQ and cut about 4-6db there with a not too wide Q but more than just a notch. Then roll through to each spot in the track that has it and print just that spot. If you still need more in really heavy handed sounds, reprint or use a little volume automation. At least this way you have much more control over the end result and you'll use less automation during mixing, saving time as well as not having to use an insert spot or whatever for a de-esser
