Waves Renaissance DeEsser
De-essing is an essential process when recording vocals, voiceover, audiobooks, and podcasts. Excessive high frequencies caused by “ess” and “shh” sounds can cause distortion, splattering, and make equalization more difficult. Renaissance DeEsser solves these problems—and more.
Renaissance DeEsser delivers transparent, artifact-free de-essing that focuses on reducing ess sounds with laser-like precision.
Digital Transparency
Unlike de-essers based on analog circuitry, the Renaissance DeEsser’s phase-compensated crossover minimizes phase shifts and artifacts. Removing sources of potential coloration is vital to the most transparent ess control.
Maximal Metering
See the amount of real-time de-essing that’s occurring—as well as the overall range, the specific frequency, filter type, and range of frequencies being covered. The visual feedback makes tweaks super-easy.
Not Just Vocals!
De-essing can trim harshness from processors like amp sims, and even full mixes. Choose whether Renaissance DeEsser prioritizes precision for maximum focused rejection, or uses a smoother, wider-band option.
