Where to get itAvailable from Tokyo Dawn Labstokyodawn.net
OD DeEdger is a surgical edge-reduction processor that removes harsh resonances and bright overshoots from audio without affecting underlying tone or dynamics. Operating in a threshold-free manner, it isolates a tunable frequency region and applies reduction only to brief, bright peaks that the ear perceives as harshness—making it ideal for taming everything from cymbal sting to sibilant harshness that survived a de-esser. Developed by a professional mastering engineer, it works transparently across any input level and is stable enough to "set and forget" after initial setup.

Oxford SuprEsser is a professional de-esser and frequency-specific dynamic EQ plugin designed to transparently control aggressive frequencies in vocals and instruments. At its core, it isolates problematic frequency bands with linear-phase filters and applies surgical compression only to those bands, leaving the rest of the spectrum untouched. What makes it distinctive is its automatic level-tracking that adjusts the threshold to follow the signal's general level, eliminating manual automation, plus advanced modes that function as a full-featured compressor for creative and corrective work across the entire frequency spectrum.
FabFilter
Pro-DS is a de-esser plugin that identifies and transparently attenuates sibilance in vocal recordings using advanced detection algorithms. It features both a specialized 'Single Vocal' mode for precise vocal de-essing and an 'Allround' mode for high-frequency limiting on any material. The plugin combines surgical precision with transparent processing, making it effective for controlling problematic sibilance without audible artifacts.
