DeES

DeES defines a new level of performance in de-ess processing.

This powerful VPI performs a fully automated analysis of the incoming voice signal, recognizes its character as well as the frequency range of any excessive sibilants, and then precisely reduces them without affecting surrounding program or creating of artifacts. This process prevents any unnatural compensation of the high frequency signal components that can cause "lisping." As a result, DeES has a neutral sound character and offers effective discrete processing of the audio material without coloration, and the original character of the voice remains intact.

Operating the DeES instrument is simple and fast. The "S-Reduction" parameter defines the desired degree of sibilant reduction. Using the "Breathe" control, you can fine-tune the range affected by the VPI - from only pure "sss" sounds and transient "spicatives", to full broadband de-essing. Thanks to its adaptive analysis of sibilance, it isn't necessary to cut your film dialog into 'parts' for each different speaker. "Audition" allows you to separately monitor the removed sibilant noise, making it a snap to set-up and ensure that the program is not adversely affected.
