Quality is there. LogicPro11 on a M1 won't always load sessions VoxDoubler oder Thicker are involved. Must force to quit Logic, try again. Huge latency introduced by them, in 20years only Sonnox do this to my clean system. Last but not least: you need INTERNET connection, which is big big no no cause I am often traveling and working, so I can't load those projects. Why do you do that, Sonnox?

Been wanting to get this for a while, and now that I have, thanks to KVR Audio Marketplace, I couldn't be happier. Another amazing tool in my arsenal..

Fantastic plugin by Sonnox. Very useful tool, easy to use, accurate and powerful.CPU friendly, fast results.

Excellent EQ, fast and accurate. It gives clarity and professional sound easily. Nice interface, great features. You can solve any problem with it in a minute. So great to use another plugin by Sonnox.

Honestly I'm really somehow dissapointed how such a great Plugin doesn't have scaling options, especially at this pricepoint!

(macOS / Windows).

I know lots of professionals use this, I watched a decent amount of videos reviewing it and I got to test it quickly 2 times: this is an amazing little plugin!

The simplicity makes it even better.

This is an inspired plugin. The workflow with Claro is so well thought out that it is now on every channel in all my projects. Shape sound with the simplified mode, all without ever increasing or decreasing your gain, then tweak as needed. The mix page is a real eye opener too and easily allows you to spot conflicting frequencies across your project.

This is right up there with Fabfilter's Pro-Q 3, but I actually find myself more comfortable with Claro. The simplified labeling for frequencies and the fact that all instances are aware of each other when working on mix mode, just make the whole EQíng second nature and feels a little slicker than Pro-Q 3. You're not getting dynamic bands or linear phase filters but then again, those aren't features I use all the time.

This sounds fantastic, feels fantastic and is an absolute pleasure to work with.

INTRO

Oxford SuprEsser by Sonnox is an amazing tool that helps users identify and correct target specific problem areas of the audio spectrum. As the names suggests, it's particularly good at reducing or eliminating excessive fricatives and sibilant consonants, such as "ch", "s", "sh", "ess", "t", "th", "z", etc. It also excels with cleaning up and softening other sonic artifacts, like harsh cymbal overtones. However, SuprEsser can also be used for removing pops and clicks as well as general compressor duties. The interface makes identifying and eliminating unwanted stuff simple. There is excellent control over the target area and amount of processing — I had no trouble dialing in and getting the desired results.

FAVORITE FEATURES:

• Scalable interface that is attractive and neatly organized.
• Easy view simplifies use of basic features while Access view reveals the juicy stuff.
• Graphics elements are excellent and illustrate exactly what's going on.
• Auto Level Tracking eliminates the need to adjust the de-essing threshold as the track progresses in real-time.
• Audio frequency range is selectable.
• Ability to mix the amount of wet and dry signals being sent to the output.
• Excellent presets to use as a start point.
• Convenient preset manager.
• Three different instances to choose from – regular, low latency and high resolution.
• Natural sounding.
• Innovative, responsive developers.

OTHER THOUGHTS:

• Uses a bit of CPU, but not that much and well worth it.
• Requires an iLok for authorization, but this is also well worth it.

SUMMARY

The best way to have a track free of excessive sibilant sounds is to perform and record cleanly; however, that's not always possible. That's where this fantastic plugin comes to the rescue. I use it to help speech challenged students hear their annunciation and pronunciation "corrected." It's a wonderful recording tool, and in my case — a wonderful teaching tool. I fully agree with another user who rightfully claims, "SuprEsser is a Swiss army knife of compression and a welcome addition to my plugin folder." I highly recommend SuprEsser to any eMusician, producer, film and game tracker, sound designer, etc., who is looking to reduce or remove unwanted lisping artifacts and other harsh audio without sacrificing wanted dynamics. With SuprEsser, the baby does not get thrown out with the dirty bathwater! Tracks sound as natural as natural can be. Tommy Zai gives SuprEsser two clean, crisp TH-umbs up! Thank you Sonnox, for creating such an amazing audio tool! Fantastic!!.
