Waves DeEsser

Precision de-essing for the modern era.

What it is: 
Smooth and natural-sounding de-essing plugin from Waves. 

How we use it: 
Reduce excess sibilance with ease. 

Why it's cool: 
With a minimalist interface - Waves provides top-tier de-essing with minimal headaches.  When it comes to reducing excess sibilance (“ess” and “shh” sounds) from vocal tracks, nothing compares to Waves DeEsser. Inspired by vintage gear for precision de-essing and high frequency limiting, DeEsser delivers smooth and natural output with minimum fuss.
