De-Essing
The De-Esser plugin reduces critical sounds of sharpness that can occur in the high frequency content of
music. So this plugin can be beneficial if your favourite recording contains some unpleasant harsh sounds.
But sharpness can also arise during mastering or as a results of inapt constellations in the playback room.
The De-Esser plugin offers you two setting possibilities - the
Amount
and the
Mode
of the De-Esser. The
Figure 5: De-Esser plugin
two modes behave different when critical sharpness is detected and can be selected via tapping on the
desired mode. The red highlighting displays which mode is active. For selectively getting rid of unpleasant
sharpness the mode
Surgical
is preferential. If an overall mellow sound of the high frequency content is
desired the mode
Smooth
is recommendable. The disparity of the two modes and how to use them is
described in detail in section 4.7. By changing the
Amount
slider you can change the impact of De-Esser
effect. When the slider is on position 0dB the influence of the De-Esser is maximal.
