A powerful de-essing tool that looks and sounds professional.
Sibilant vocals are annoying. You could have a vocalist who sounds great in real life, but the studio mic throws up a whole heap of problems. Each time a word is sung that has an 's' in it, there's a volume leap and a sound like a hissing snake, while 't' 'f' and even 'ch' sounds can cause problems, too.
Pros:
- Simple uncluttered user interface.
- Successfully de-essess a wide range of material.
- Auto Level Tracking helps hide unwanted side-effects of de-essing.
Cons:
- Quite expensive.
Verdict:
A quality de-esser that does everything that it should.
Rating: 4/5
