Renaissance DeEsser

De-essing is an essential process when recording vocals, voiceover, audiobooks, and podcasts. Excessive high frequencies caused by "ess" and "shh" sounds can cause distortion, splattering, and make equalization more difficult. Renaissance DeEsser solves these problems—and more.

Renaissance DeEsser delivers transparent, artifact-free de-essing that focuses on reducing ess sounds with laser-like precision:

• Phase-compensated crossover minimizes coloration.
• Precision filtering reduces impact on frequencies adjacent to esses.
• Display shows filter type, range, frequency, and real-time de-essing.
• Monitor the sidechain for precise tuning to the ess frequency.
• Choose strong or gentle de-essing, using wideband or split modes.
• Select light or dark skins, or space-saving legacy skin.
