The aim of de-esser is to reduce or eliminate the excessive prominence of sibilant consonants in the audio stream of recorded human speech. The de-esser attenuates selectively an audio band of the signal when the measured level of that band exceeds a certain threshold.<\/p>\n
The operation is similar to a linked-channel sidechain compressor. If you are the end-user of this effect, it is recommended that all parameters are at first left at their defaults, then for the input in question (where sibilants are pronounced), the residual mode is switched on, where the detection bandpass is played directly to the output. Then the frequency parameter is gradually adjusted to localise the sibilants that need suppression. After this the residual mode can be switched off, and the threshold value should be gradually reduced until the desired extent of attenuation is achieved. If for any reason the De-Esser reaction time is not adequate (which it normally will be with the default parameter values), then the attack and release thresholds can be adjusted as well.<\/p>\n
