If the vocalist's mouth noises are getting out of hand, maybe it's time to consult with a voice training coach or speech pathologist or something.
seriously, no joke about that. also, some people's mouths are just noisier than others.
maybe they need more water, maybe try different indirect mic positions, maybe ask the vocalist if they have any ideas of what to do.
in the past, i would've used a noise gate on vocals.
but these days, i don't do much live recording. when i do however, i just manually delete and crossfade out the parts i don't want.
yes, it's way too tedious, but it works. and that's part of why i don't do vocals.
however, i do like using vocal sounds to convert into synth or drum sounds (without beat boxing) with DSP.
i'm still not there yet, but the noise reduction and noise gating part is one of the biggest challenges unless done right, or if you just manually cut everything out. it's hard to explain.
