FabFilter Pro-DS is a professional de-essing plug-in. With its highly intelligent 'Single Vocal' detection algorithm, it accurately and transparently attenuates sibilance in vocal recordings. Alternatively, set to 'Allround' mode, it's an equally great tool for high-frequency limiting of any material, like drums or full mixes. Combined with world-class metering and real-time signal visualization, Pro-DS is designed to fulfill all your de-essing needs. The Pro-DS app filters the microphone input and plays it back in real-time. To use Pro-DS as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like Auria, AUM or Cubasis. Pro-DS will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins in the host app. Key features: - Highly intelligent 'Single Vocal' detection, and classic 'Allround' detection - Transparent, program-dependent compression/limiting - Adjustable Threshold, Range and High-Pass and Low-Pass side-chain filtering settings - Wide Band or linear-phase Split Band processing - Optional look-ahead time up to 15 ms - Freely adjustable stereo linking - Optional mid-only or side-only processing - Up to four times linear-phase oversampling - Real-time de-essing display, clearly showing the affected parts of processed audio - Side-chain input meter, making it easy to choose a good Threshold value - Real-time spectrum analyzer built into the HP/LP filter controller - Undo/redo and A/B comparison "We were recently given a song with plenty of sibilance to master, and FabFilter Pro-DS handled it brilliantly. Verdict: 10/10!" — MusicTech Magazine "If you need a de-esser, you'll sssstruggle to find better than FabFilter's utterly comprehensive solution. Verdict: 10/10!" — Computer Music Magazine
Lowers sound quality
I have used this desser for my live streams, for my talking voice, to remove “spit” sounds when I move my tongue in my mouth, and it definitely helps with that a lot. But I’m constantly adjusting the settings and never quite happy with how it handles my breath. It tends to create a chopping or rumbling effect, as it rapidly turns on and off when my breath hits the mic, or if I make an “S” sound that’s near the edge of this thing’s frequency threshold. If it can’t quite make up its mind whether or not to de-es, then it rapidly turns on and off, creating and rumble or chopping effect, like I'm talking through a fan. I feel like the algorithm this thing uses needs a bit more work, so that once it decides to do its thing on a particular sound, then it’ll continue to do it until that sound changes shape significantly enough. That way, if it was a breath of mine that triggered it, then it’ll stay triggered until my breath is over, rather than turning itself on and off rapidly. If that makes sense. And if it already does this, then it’s not doing it enough, which means I need a knob to control this. But there is no knob for this, so I assume this is a feature it doesn’t have. Also, it really makes no sense that a human can create “s” or breath sounds that frequently. Even if I spoke as fast as an auctioneer, I couldn’t put S or breath sounds between my words as fast as this thing is turning itself on and off when it’s glitching. So perhaps if this thing had a speaking mode, that would try not to sound like a propeller. Amen.
