Waves
Banish harsh sibilance without artifacts or unnatural pumping. Adaptive processing tracks your vocal dynamics for silky, transparent de-essing every time.
DeEsser 2 is a fast-acting dynamics compressor designed to isolate and attenuate a particular band of high frequencies in complex audio signals. Commonly used on vocal recordings to reduce unwanted sibilance (harsh s and t sounds), it attenuates only the selected frequency when it exceeds a threshold, preserving natural tone with extremely fast attack and release times.
