Remove sibilance and harshness, fast

You can use T-De-Esser 2 to:

Remove harshness from sound sources that were closely mic'd.
Manage sibilance in vocals and dialog in a transparent manner.
Treat irregular tonal balance caused by the poor recording quality.
Reduce the glare from unnecessarily bright guitar and piano recordings.
Tame piercing synth sounds.
Control the high-frequencies in overheads' transients, such as snare, hi-hats, or clash.
Give more dynamic range to your tracks while mastering, due to the reduction of unnecessary high frequencies.

T-De-Esser 2 can streamline your audio project workflow by saving you both vital time and effort. It works as effectively on individual tracks as it does on buses. It performs admirably in a wide range of implementations, from sound design and post-production to the most demanding of mastering applications.

This is an extremely gentle deesser. It controls the esses beautifully. It could certainly be a paid-plugin for sure. This is my first choice for deessing, although that does not mean much, i found it easy to use and so transparent. get it now.

Ultra-transparent and simple to use and in all plugin formats from the start! Also, for this plugin to be free and imo already better than all of the market brand de-essers! Thank you and great job Techivation LTD.

I was a big fan of another well-known de-esser, and that made me doubt if I really needed another de-esser...

But literally after 30 seconds with the T-De-Esser that doubt left my mind. This is the most transparent de-esser I've ever heard, and the most effective at the same time. Where other de-esser start to sound artificially fast, this one stays completely natural and transparant.

Since I downloaded T-De-Esser I never touched the other wellknown one again! And I HATE changing plugins so that surprised even myself a lot.

HIGHLY recommended.

Excelent De-esser.

Very clean and natural correction and you can get everything smoother with the sharpness and intensity parameters.

Amazing De-Esser, really impressed by the sole sound of this tool. Different from common De-Essers, the fact that it acts more like a volume rider rather than a compressor is game-changer and creates a very versatile tool, not only for sibilances but all kind of dynamic control appliances. I would say the 3 best features of this De-Esser are: sound transparency, ease of use and the fact that such a powerful tool is free.

Great job Techivaion.
