Overview

Sibilance gone, vocal intact.

Pro-DS is FabFilter's de-esser, built to find and soften harsh 's' and 'sh' sounds while leaving the rest of the vocal untouched. Intelligent Single Vocal and Allround detection adapt to the source, and a clear real-time display shows exactly what's being caught. Split-band or wide-band processing, look-ahead and mid/side options make it as precise as you need.

Real-time display with spectrum analyzer
Wide Band or linear-phase Split Band processing
Look-ahead up to 15 ms
