Waves DeEsser - Vocal De-Esser Plugin
Waves DeEsser - Vocal De-Esser Plugin
Waves DeEsser is inspired by vintage gear used for precision de-essing and high-frequency limiting, taming harsh "ess" and "shh" sounds. With recordings boosting highs for intelligibility in narration, audiobooks, vocals and podcasts, de-essing matters more than ever.
It is not only for voices: its gentle action can reduce amp sim harshness, tame cymbals in drum loops and sweeten digital synths.
