Oxford SuprEsser

Sonnox

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.

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.
