I would try, adding a utility in the track chain, grouping it and then adding another chain in that group. Pan the chain with the utility to the left and pan the clean chain to the right. Reduce each chain by 4dB. On the utility, click both Phase buttons to yellow. Add an eq to each of the group chains and do an equal amount of -4dB at around the range of the voice, experiment with Q. I have not tried this, so let me know how it sounds!

|Best,
Tried out and all it really ended up doing was lowering the volume, probably because it's a whisper which is pretty much just white noise.




I ended up just washing it out with reverb, throwing a delay and a chorus on it. Now it sounds like an incoherent stereo mess. I think I'll try using other sounds to draw attention away from it instead.




To hide it better try making sure it has the same rhythm or a counter rhythm to something in the piece already. Just sticking stuff in makes it cluttered and if it's not adding to the piece it's taking it away. So, you could try this, have it follow a rhythm that's already in the track, then remove that instrument and have another following the same rhythm but with the sample overlaid.... If it's just added and it's not a focus sound then often it will just sound a bit crap, if you change the instrument and add it it's got a better chance of working. YRMV though...
I slipped into a daze, whilst I was there I heard the most startling music, it was at once familiar and alien, reassuring and unsettling.

did you try frequency isolation as suggested?
