OUTPUT METERS
The Renaissance DeEsser shows output peak metering with a red clip indicator. Since the de-esser can only
attenuate, the chances of clipping are very low. If clipping occurs, it probably originates in the source. In rare cases
when the input signal is already pushing close to full scale, the active crossover may cause a sample to overflow.
Under the meters are the numeric peak hold indicators. These show the peak output level. Click anywhere in the
output meters area to reset them.
Working with Presets
Renaissance DeEsser offers a large collection of presets. These are useful starting points for solving problems and
creating effects: load the most relevant preset and go from there. In some cases, a factory preset will give you just
the settings you need.
There are also Artist presets. These were designed by recording, mixing, FOH, and broadcast engineers, so they
capture a personal point of view about sound. They provide a head start with an attitude when you’re creating a
specific sound or making a track sound better.
Use the bar at the top of the plugin to save and load presets, compare settings, undo and redo steps, and resize the
plugin. To learn more, click the icon at the upper-right corner of the window and open the WaveSystem Guide.
