Frequency Conscious Dynamic Processor De-essing is also known as 'frequency dependent compression,' but whatever you call it, the idea is to control excessive sibilance (exaggerated “s” sounds), which can be particularly problematic on vocal tracks. De-Essing Options in FL Studio In this tutorial we explore three methods for de-essing vocals in FL Studio using the tools supplied. Most good de-essers are simply band-limited compressors repackaged and labelled so they can be called a ‘de-esser’.
Sleepy-Time DSP has announced the release of Lisp, a free de-esser VST effect plugin for Windows operating systems. Lisp is perfect for cleaning up sibilance problems in your vocals and it aims to speed-up this process with its automatic sibilance detection algorithm. Internally tuned to the human vocal range, Lisp can automatically detect and lower. When it comes to reducing excess sibilance (“ess” and “shh” sounds) from vocal tracks, nothing compares to Waves DeEsser. Inspired by vintage gear for precision de-essing and high frequency limiting, DeEsser delivers smooth and natural output with minimum fuss.
Hello Composers! Mike here, with a quick guide on the Best De-Esser VST Plugins. =)
Recording good vocals in a studio (or your home studio), means having the vocalist fairly close to the microphone to get a good signal-to-noise ratio. This means you will inevitably get sibilance (harsh “S” sounds).
To solve this you need a good De-Esser effect plugin in your DAW. Essentially a de-esser is a specialized compressor that are focused on only reducing the harsh frequencies created by the “s” sounds.
But which De-Esser VST Plugins should you choose? Well, here is my complete list of recommendations for you (in no particular order):
