State-of-the-art workflow enhancements
DeEss is chock-full of workflow-accelerating enhancements. Auto Listen permits you to automatically audition your signal when changing parameters. A Brighten control rejuvenates your signal's high end after you've applied processing. You can choose any mix between Split and Broadband processing modes to ensure effective, transparent processing. You also get a multi-shade waveform visualizer that lets you see the de-esser kick in on both the quietest and loudest parts of your signal. Here at Sweetwater, we're blown away by DeEss's cutting-edge relative threshold algorithm. It enables you to change your signal's input level without affecting the response of the de-esser. Of course, this means you can de-ess quiet signals as effectively as loud ones.
Teeming with advanced features
Solid State Logic's DeEss permits you to target only the mid or side components of your signal, plus you can toggle automatic oversampling and lookahead options for a super-high-quality response. You also get presets tailored to different vocal types, such as Tenor, Alto, or Soprano, along with instrument-specific presets. Who says de-essing can only be used on vocals?
