The Sonnox SuprEsser DS is a specialized version of the Sonnox SuprEsser Dynamic EQ plug-in that focuses on frequencies above 1kHz. It achieves highly effective de-essing with less than 2MS of latency at 48kHz sample rates making it the perfect de-esser plug-in for Avid's S3L live console and/or live recording into any Pro Tools 11 HDX rig.
I like the SuprEsser DS's “simple mode” for quick fixes, but you can go to advanced mode for increased functionality and fine-tuning if required. There are three listen modes to easily see and hear exactly what and where the problem frequencies are. This allows you to then go about sup- pressing or removing them.
The GUI is the familiar and intuitive FFT display and you have complete control using Automatic Level Tracking, Linear Phase Filtering and a Wet/Dry blend control.
