De-Esser

Press & Hold To Edit

The De-Esser tames excessively harsh consonant sounds, referred to as “sibilance”.

A de-esser is a frequency selective compressor which is triggered only by the

offending sibilant frequencies (between about 5-10 kHz). If you’re experiencing

sibilance issues and your vocals sound too dull when lowering the sibilant

frequencies with EQ, try using the De-Esser instead.

Available parameter:

• DE-ESS (0-99)

This parameter adjusts the amount of de-essing which will occur, with 0 being

the minimum (no effect) and 99 being the maximum.

To dial in the De-Esser:

1. Sing into the microphone (or use the Sound Check feature, see "Sound Check"

on page 14) and raise the DE-ESS parameter until the sibilant sounds become

less prominent (make some “ssssss” sounds in the mic to better hear the affect

of the de-esser processing).

2. Fine tune by ear, ensuring you do not over de-ess, identied by the introduction

of a lisp or an overly dull sounding vocal.
