Pro-DS
FabFilter
Catch harsh sibilance instantly with Pro-DS's intelligent vocal detection—process only the problem frequencies while preserving natural tone and stereo width.
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.
Add DeEsser to your Plugin Library to get personalized recommendations and never forget you own it.
