Metric Halo Precision DeEsser v4
De-Esser Plugin
Precision De-Esser is a linear-phase, frequency-sensitive dynamics processor that allows you to remove excessive high-frequency content from your tracks without dulling the high-end.
Precision De-Esser combines the high-precision linear phase filter technology with the dynamics processing of ChannelStrip and the metering and analysis of SpectraFoo to allow you to zero in on offending frequencies and correct them quickly and efficiently.
It features comprehensive listening controls to allow you to hear exactly what is (or isn't) being removed - you may choose five different points in the processing chain to monitor.
As with all Metric Halo plug-ins, parameters are fully automatable to give you full control of the processing during mixdown.
The Precision DeEsser is an essential tool for vocal tracks, but can also be used for sound design and other audio processing.
