FabFilter
Catch harsh sibilance instantly with Pro-DS's intelligent vocal detection—process only the problem frequencies while preserving natural tone and stereo width.
De-Esser is a full-featured dynamics processor designed to selectively reduce sibilance (S-sounds) in recordings by targeting and compressing only the problematic frequencies. It excels at taming harsh sibilance in layered vocal recordings where multiple takes can accumulate unwanted sibilant artifacts, and is equally effective for controlling harsh frequencies in cymbals and hi-hats.
