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.

Key Features

  • Two operating modes: Relative and Absolute for high- or low-level audio signals
  • Two filter shapes: Lowpass shelving and Peak filter
  • Two range parameters: Split (narrow band) and Wide (full range)
  • Detection meter with max hold and threshold slider
  • Reduction meter with max hold and gain reduction slider
  • Threshold knob and field control
  • Max Reduction knob and field control
  • Frequency knob and field for center frequency selection
