De-esser
Renaissance DeEsser
Waves
Banish harsh sibilance without artifacts or unnatural pumping. Adaptive processing tracks your vocal dynamics for silky, transparent de-essing every time.
DeEsser is a specialized compressor designed to reduce excessive sibilance primarily for vocal recordings. It's positioned after the microphone pre-amp and before a compressor/limiter to prevent unwanted sibilants without affecting overall signal dynamics, making it ideal for close-proximity mic techniques where equalization alone isn't sufficient.
