anyone know of a good de-esser?

[felixstone]

just wondering if anyone knows of a good de-esser plug-in for protools. i have used digidesigns de-esser but i find i have to use 2 or 3 of them per track cuz the frequency is just too narrow. and i have used TC de-esser in the masterworks plug-in, and that just makes the vocal dark. i guess i could use a compressor and key it with a EQ, (something i have not tried yet) guess i just want a all in one plug in, kinda like the outboard DBX stuff. well enough of my ramblings.

Here's another vote for the Waves de-esser.*Tunable; key listen; 2 widths; you can easily automate the threshold for more control, etc. It's not perfect (I haven't heard one yet that is, hardware OR software…) but I highly recommend it!

Warmest Regards,

the Waves C1 c/g has a sidechain option that I think works MUCH better than the dedicated de-esser. It takes a little more brain to operate, and you might even have to resort to the manual, but it sounds niice.

Have you every tried using volume automation?....the best de-esser I've ever tried.

Also try automating the high shelf gain of an eq plugin. It is a little time consuming but you have really good contol.

I use the Waves de-esser and if I feel the urge I duplicate the dialogue track and push it a few samples forward in time then key off the early track...
