Included Effect Plug-ins

Dynamics Plug-ins

Solo

Solos the frequency band. This helps you to find the appropriate position and

width of that band.

Diff

Plays back what DeEsser removed from the signal. This help you to adjust the

frequency band, threshold, and reduction parameters, so that only sharp

s-sounds are removed, for example.

Dynamics

Reduction

Controls the intensity of the de-essing effect.

Threshold (-50 to 0 dB)

If the Auto option is deactivated, you can use this control to set a threshold

for the incoming signal level above which the plug-in starts to reduce the

sibilants.

Release (1 to 1000 ms)

Sets the time after which the de-essing effect returns to zero when the signal

drops below the threshold.

Auto

Automatically and continually sets an optimum threshold setting independent

of the input signal. The Auto option does not work for low-level signals

-30 db peak level). To reduce the sibilants in such a file, set the threshold

manually.

Sidechain

Freq (25 Hz to 20 kHz)

If the Side-Chain button is activated, this sets the frequency of the filter. You

can set the frequency either in Hz or as a note value. If you enter a note value,

the frequency is automatically changed to Hz. For example, a note value of A3

sets the frequency to 440

Hz. When you enter a note value, you can also enter

a cent offset. For example, enter A5 -23 or C4 +49.

NOTE

Make sure that you enter a space between the note and the cent offset. Only

in this case, the cent offsets are taken into account.

Q-Factor

If the Side-Chain button is activated, this sets the resonance or width of the

filter.
