The SSL DeEss is a sibilance reduction and high-frequency control correctional tool used to reduce excess sibilance and harsh mid-high frequency build-ups such as the ess and shh sounds in vocal takes. Enjoy a varied range of intuitive workflow enhancements such as automatic auditioning and built-in brighten control for breathing life back into de-essed signals. Alongside this DeEss allows you to change the input level of the signal without a destructive effect on the response of the de-esser thanks to a relative threshold algorithm. This also means that you can de-ess quiet sibilant events as effectively as loud ones. Quickly target mid and side components of the signal as well as toggling automatic oversampling and lookahead options for an ultra-high-quality response. Moreover DeEss features a range of meticulously designed presets for distinct vocal types and instrument processing.

Filters The filters section limits the frequency of the content of the sidechain that triggers the de-esser. You can dial in precise filtering to ensure that the de-essing effect only kicks in when undesirable frequency content is present. Simply set the frequency cutoffs for the high-pass and low-pass filter within the intuitive user interface and you can accurately define the trigger for de-essing. Relative Threshold Unlike classic de-essers DeEss uses a relative threshold. In this case the threshold is set relative to the loudness of the signal rather than being an absolute value. Essentially this means that de-essing will occur no matter how loud or quiet the signal is. Not only does this mean that de-essing is applied to softer passages just as efficiently as louder passages but also that increasing the level of your signal earlier in your signal chain is less likely to have a destructive effect on your DeEss settings. Compression history graph The compression history graph plots the pre-filter input signal and highlights the sections of the signal that are being compressed in three colours. Bright yellow indicated heavy de-essing dim yellow indicated light de-essing and grey indicated that no de-essing is being applied and the signal is untouched. Waveform visualisation is useful for identifying events in the signal that can be hard to track in a frequency plot and for dialling in the amount of de-essing with precision. Advanced compressor settings Advanced compression settings allow for powerful de-essing modes with efficient processes and unique results. The blend control can be used to blend between split and broadband sidechaining modes. Towards split attenuation is only applied to the frequency band defined in the filters section whereas moving the blend slider towards broadband causes attenuation to be applied equally across all frequencies. The brighten control accentuates the high-frequencies of your signal in conjunction with de-essing to avoid affected areas becoming dull providing you with a method to easily rejuvenate your signal after heavy de-essing. Lookahead adds a small amount of latency which allows the de-esser to react to sibilant events slightly ahead of when they occur. Finally oversampling can be turned on to reduce aliasing introduced by compression therefore improving quality. Any oversampling applied is automatically dependent on your sample rate.
