SSL DeEss Plug-In (Serial Nr + Download)


Relative threshold de-esser with workflow enhancements, mid/side processing, and signal revitalisation

SSL DeEss is a workflow-oriented correctional tool for classic precision sibilance reduction and high-frequency control.

Alongside workflow enhancements such as automatic auditioning and built-in saturation for rejuvenating de-essed signals, DeEss uses a relative threshold algorithm: allowing you to change the input level of the signal without a destructive effect on the response of the de-esser. This also means that you can de-ess quiet sibilant events just as effectively as loud ones!

With DeEss, you can quickly target only the mid or side components of the signal, as well as toggling in automatic oversampling and lookahead options for a super-high-quality response. Not only this, but DeEss ships with carefully designed presets for different vocal types (Tenor, Alto, Soprano) and even instrument processing – de-essing is no longer just for vocals.

SUMMARY

A concise list of key points, and optional details.

  • Relative threshold de-esser
    make changes to level earlier in your FX chain, without destructing your carefully tailored de-esser response
  • Rejuvenate your de-essed signal
    use the brighten control to saturate the signal and rejuvenate the high-end after de-essing
  • Filter it your way
    choose any mix between SPLIT and BROADBAND processing modes – the maximum gain reduction of each carefully tailored for de-essing that is effective and transparent, but not overdone – and switch out the filters independently to audition bandpass or shelf approaches
  • Multi-shade waveform visualiser
    see the de-esser kick in on both the quietest and loudest parts of the signal because of the relative threshold
  • Automatic auditioning
    use AUTO LISTEN to automatically audition the signal when changing related controls
  • Mid/side processing
    quickly target only the mid or side components of the signal

FEATURES

A full list of all features of the plug-in.

  • Relative threshold de-esser
  • Independently toggleable high and low-pass sidechain filters
  • Sidechain FFT graph with draggable filter handles
  • SPLITmode: suppress only the defined frequency range when triggered
  • BROADBANDmode: suppress the entire signal when triggered
  • BLENDbetween SPLITand BROADBANDmodes
  • Optionally target only the MIDor SIDEsignals
  • Accentuate or reduce the intensity of the de-esser using the AMOUNTparameter
  • Revitaliseand rejuvenatede-essed signals using the BRIGHTEN
  • Switch in a LOOKAHEADor use OVERSAMPLINGto optionally increase responsiveness and accuracy of the de-essing algorithm
  • Set the relative THRESHOLDand see its effects using the COMPRESSOR graph
  • Multi-shade waveform visualiser shows three levels of shading – bright, medium and off – to indicate highly de-essed, slightly de-essed and untouched signals respectively, despite using a relative threshold!
  • Try turning down the signal earlier in your mix chain, and notice how DeEss maintains its response
  • Easily audition the sidechain filters or effected signal by clicking the ‘FILTERS’ and ‘COMPRESSOR’ labels
  • Use AUTO LISTEN to automatically switch in the FILTER or COMPRESSOR audition when changing related parameters
  • 3rd order Butterworth filtersthat are chosen to be sharp but allow for transparent de-essing
  • Output metering with high-level and clipping warnings
  • Instantaneous Gain Reduction meter
  • Built-in help system
  • Several carefully designed preset for each vocal type, as well as for instruments – de-essing isn’t just for sibilance!
