Waves Renaissance DeEsser: De-Esser Plugin

De-essing is an essential process when recording vocals voiceover audiobooks and podcasts. Excessive high frequencies caused by “ess” and “shh” sounds can cause distortion splattering and make equalization more difficult. Renaissance DeEsser solves these problems—and more. Renaissance DeEsser delivers transparent artifact-free de-essing that focuses on reducing ess sounds with laser-like precision.

Digital Transparency

Unlike de-essers based on analog circuitry the Renaissance DeEsser’s phase-compensated crossover minimizes phase shifts and artifacts. Removing sources of potential coloration is vital to the most transparent ess control.

Maximal Metering

See the amount of real-time de-essing that’s occurring—as well as the overall range the specific frequency filter type and range of frequencies being covered. The visual feedback makes tweaks super-easy.

Not Just Vocals!

De-essing can trim harshness from processors like amp sims and even full mixes. Choose whether Renaissance DeEsser prioritizes precision for maximum focused rejection or uses a smoother wider-band option.

Features:

• Phase-compensated crossover minimizes coloration
• Display shows filter type range frequency and real-time de-essing
• Choose strong or gentle de-essing using wideband or split modes
• Precision filtering reduces impact on frequencies adjacent to esses
• Monitor the sidechain for precise tuning to the ess frequency
• Select light or dark skins or space-saving legacy skin
