About:
FabFilter Pro-DS is a professional de-esser plugin designed to transparently eliminate harsh sibilance from vocal recordings. It uses advanced algorithms to accurately detect and attenuate 's' and 't' sounds without affecting the natural character of the voice. The plugin offers both wide-band and split-band modes for maximum flexibility in vocal processing.
Key Features:
  • Intelligent sibilance detection with adjustable threshold
  • Split-band processing for transparent results
  • Real-time visualization of detected sibilance
  • Look-ahead and recovery time controls
  • Extreme mode for aggressive de-essing
Use Cases:
  • Reducing harsh vocal sibilance in music production
  • Taming excessive 's' sounds in podcast recordings
  • Cleaning up dialogue for film and video post-production
  • Controlling plosives and sibilance in voice-over work
Alternatives:
  • Waves Renaissance DeEsser – Classic de-esser with simpler interface but less advanced detection algorithms
  • iZotope Nectar DeEsser – Part of a larger vocal processing suite with more automated features
  • FabFilter Pro-MB – Multi-band compressor that can be manually configured for de-essing tasks
