BackEqualize your
sibilants…
The E˛Deesser allows the user to independently control and fine tune the volume and equalization of sibilants. The usual method is removing the offending frequencies or decreasing the wideband volume. The E˛Deesser however, allows you to combine both techniques to obtain a much more natural result. The E˛Deesser lets you choose from a variety of filter types (low pass, high shelf or peak/dip), and simultaneously adjust the volume of the sibilants.
…using a wide range of
creative possibilities
Prior to the E˛Deesser, de-essers trended to employ steep negative dips or low-pass filters for detection and filtering. With E˛Deesser’s patented structure and settings, you have the flexibility of selecting say, a wide cut, while boosting the sibilants’ global gain to compensate the overall loss in the sibilant loudness, yielding far more natural and professional results. A gain boost may be utilized to undo the effects of de-esser misuse, in which sibilants sound muddy or unnaturally "cut". With the E˛Deesser, you can easily "repair" tracks that have been over de-essed. It is a valuable time saver and superb corrective tool!
Add breath without
adding unnatural harshness
One of the most useful features of the E˛Deesser is actually an interesting counterpart to its de-essing capabilities: selective voice equalization. Vocal tracks usually benefit from some sort of enhancement in the highs, to increase their presence and add ‘air’. Unfortunately, the frequencies you need to boost are the same ones that can cause unpleasant and strident harshness and sibilance. With the E˛Deesser, you can finally adjust the amount of air and presence in your vocal tracks without boosting their sibilance.
Be creative with the
E˛Deesser
The E˛Deesser is an extremely versatile tool. You can use it on bass, drums, loops, a solo instrument, or even over an entire mix. You can use it as a dynamic EQ, as a mastering high frequency limiter or as an exciter to sprinkle just a touch of ‘fairy dust’! Its exclusive and patented structure allows an endless amount of creative applications and setup possibilities. For example, a slap bass track may need a low pass on pulled string notes and a slight presence boost on thumb notes, while a particular mix might benefit from some softening in the higher frequencies, without modifying the overall spectral balance.
The last but certainly
not the least…
Perhaps the E˛Deesser’s versatility and power can be best demonstrated by this feature: you can set up two identical tracks with the E˛Deesser on each, with the same settings, and process the sibilant and the voiced parts completely independently. You just have to activate the ‘Listen’ switches for the sibilant and voiced section for each track. You can then apply different amounts of equalization to each part, send the sibilants to a different reverb aux bus, and apply different effects to the sibilant and voiced parts. For vocal tracks, you can add some air to the voiced parts with the AirEQ's Air Band, while independently compressing the sibilant track. The possibilities are really endless and are presented to you in Easy and Efficient format! The E˛Deesser is the most advanced de-esser plugin on the market today! | Dennis Sands
I find the AirEQ plugin the most musical, versatile, and powerful eq I’ve come across to date.
