T-De-Esser 2

T-De-Esser 2 is an intuitive and user-friendly Free De-Esser plugin designed to smooth out high frequencies while preserving a natural and musical sound. It is significantly improves upon the T-De-Esser MK1 in terms of both functionality and audio performance. T-De-Esser 2 can streamline your audio project workflow by saving you both vital time and effort. It works as effectively on individual tracks as it does on buses. It performs admirably in a wide range of implementations, from sound design and post-production to the most demanding of mastering applications. This plug-in has been designed with simplicity in mind. It is fast to set up and easy to use, yet allows you to adjust the processing to your needs. Key Features - Processing: “Processing” control determines the sensitivity of T-De-Esser 2. When the targeted frequency range exceeds the “Threshold/Processing” level, the whole signal is compressed - Intensity: “Intensity” controls the strength of compression applied to the signal. It determines how much gain reduction is applied when the targeted frequency range level exceeds the “Threshold/Processing” level. This control functions as a “ratio” control in regular compressors. - Sharpness: “Sharpness” control allows you to choose how gradually T-De-Esser 2 should start applying compression as the targeted frequency range level approaches the “Threshold/Processing” level. This control functions as a “knee” control in regular compressors. - Frequency Range: “Frequency Range” buttons allows you to choose which part of the signal is analysed by T-De-Esser 2 to detect excessive sibilance or harshness. - Make Up: “Make Up Gain” controls the amount of transparent gain applied to the processed signal. - Mix: “Mix” (Dry/Wet) control allows you to blend between the processed and original signals, making it an ideal tool for parallel processing. - Diff: “Diff” control enables you to listen to the difference between the processed and original signals. This allows you to audibly perceive the changes made to your audio, making it easier to fine-tune the “Threshold/Processing” level that is right for your track. - Filter: “Filter” control allows you to listen to just the frequency range that is targeted by the plug-in. By enabling the “Filter” output mode, you can quickly pick the frequency range mode that best captures the sibilance or harshness in your track.“Filter” control allows you to listen to just the frequency range that is targeted by the plug-in. By enabling the “Filter” output mode, you can quickly pick the frequency range mode that best captures. -Input-Output Level Meters: Input-Output Level Meters are visual displays that show the audio levels of the input and output signals before and after processing. - Internal On-Off Switch: The plug-in features a dedicated bypass/on control, which allows for the swift enabling or bypassing of the effect. This user-friendly control is designed to help avoid potential clicks or audio artefacts that may occur when toggling the effect on or off directly within the DAW host.
