“Today I would like to talk about a subject that many people – myself included – never really had on their radar – and that is hardware deessers.”
“I brought the SPL DeEsser Mk2 with me today, that just came out recently.”
“The reason why I started being interested in hardware deessers is because of the different sound of a DeEsser, mainly being that the hardware DeEsser sounds way more natural than a plugin.”
Do you want to know how the SPL DeEsser Mk2 sounds? Then you should check out this video by Phable.
By the way: The SPL DeEsser Mk2 is different from other deessers. It uses a unique technology to reduce sibiliance in a mix or on vocal tracks. It automatically detects and hones in on the sibilant frequencies leaving neighboring frequencies unaffected. These S‑sounds are mixed back into the main signal phase-inverted to cancel out the sibilance. The result is a sound-neutral, inconspicuous and extremely effective process. Even at high S‑Reduction values the de-essing has an egligible effect on the character and timbre of the voice.
