Easy as can be, love the fact that you could turn on what it’s actually doing and just hear the frequencies and it’s very easy to use

This is one of the more simple yet more powerful De-Esser plugins I have ever used. I use it every single day!

Simple and Perfect

I use this on all my vocal tracks - with the exception of Hawaiian language vocals as there is no "s." ;) I just use the default setting with a high-pass de-esser and adjust the threshold. It's that easy!

Overall, it's a quick, easy fix, but is hard to dial in at times.

It's a great plugin, but be sure to take your time and find the exact sweet spot / sweet ratio between the bandwidth and the threshold. I owned this plugin for a very long time but wasn't able to get decent sounds out of until I discovered the careful balancing act between the threshold and bandwidth. Now I love the plugin. It's a very quick solution to a common sibilance problem. I feel like even at the sweet spot, however, it darkens the tracks a bit much. Use it along with UAD Precision Enhancer kHz and you have a winning combo.

The tool that is being used

When tracking vocals it sits there on my console app shaving those sibilance that later on in post is much easier to focus on overall structure of the vocals sitting in the mix. Good plugin, does its job, if you push it hard don't expect any transparency from it, find your threshold and balance it out.
