Anyone working with #audio, any ideas what this specific compression could be on Marc's voice? Specifically the kind of high sheen and bubblyness or punchiness on his consonants, such as K, T, D, P, etc. youtube.com/watch?v=pRIY9pVc6L…

I was thinking some sort of an SSL console, like the 4000G, or some specific deesser maybe with a VCA compressor with an added high frequency EQ curve, but I'm not entirely sure. I have seen this applied to audiobook narrations as well, Marc Boyett on Audible seems to have this as well.

You are right, it could be a combination of things as well, like a transient shaper, multiband compression, maybe even a deesser, specific tape saturation, though it's been present on at least two voices and I just keep telling myself that this can't be such a common trick, but maybe it is really that simple haha.

In a way yeah, and of course people add analog chains and emulations and whatnot into the mix, but this is also a specific set of frequencies, it almost sounds like there's some plugin that you just throw on something and it adds this. People can fall in love with loads of interesting things, like the all pass filter on iPhones because that is also adding a specific tonal change to a voice, or color if you will. Audio is fun and frustrating haha.
