Model details
Control the part of a track that gets harsh without turning down its whole tonal range. DerrEsser separates the high and low frequencies, then dynamically reduces the top end. Choose DS mode for vocal sibilance or HF Limit for more general high-frequency control on guitars and other instruments. It is a useful finishing stage after a bright preamp, EQ or compressor chain.
Typical uses: Vocal de-essing · Bright instrument control
