Weiss Deess

Tired of struggling with sibilance in your vocal tracks, piercing hi-hats, or harshness during mastering? Your quest for the ideal de-esser ends here with the introduction of the Weiss Deess, available both as a standalone plugin and as part of the esteemed Weiss DS1-MK3 collection. Unmatched Versatility and Quality Derived from the revered Weiss DS1-MK3, known as the pinnacle of digital hardware de-essing, the Weiss Deess plugin by Softube combines time-tested sonic excellence with a contemporary, intuitive interface. This is not just another de-esser; it's a sophisticated tool designed to tackle sibilance effectively without compromising the integrity of your sound. Key Features for Precision and Clarity Dual-Band Operation: Unique to the Weiss Deess, the dual-band configuration allows you to address multiple sibilant frequencies simultaneously, ensuring thorough and nuanced de-essing. Advanced Filter Controls: Tailor your de-essing with an array of filter shapes and bandwidth adjustments to pinpoint exact problem areas without affecting the surrounding audio. Superior Visualization: The vibrant, detailed display provides real-time FFT readouts and filter settings, ensuring you can see precisely what's happening to your sound. Streamlined User Interface: Enjoy a clutter-free main panel for a focused workflow, with additional in-depth controls neatly tucked away in a side menu for when you need them. Low-Latency Tracking Mode: Implement de-essing directly as you record, minimizing post-production work and keeping the creative process flowing smoothly. Weiss Algorithms: Experience the industry-leading sound of Weiss digital processing, ensuring your de-essing is effective, transparent, and free of unwanted artifacts. A Professional Tool for All Your Needs Whether you're fine-tuning vocals, adjusting percussive elements, or mastering a complete track, the Weiss Deess stands out as a critical component in your audio toolkit, offering unparalleled control and sonic quality. System Requirements Mac: macOS Big Sur 11, Monterey 12, Ventura 13 Windows: 10 (64-bit), Windows 11 Supported CPUs: Intel Core i3/i5/i7, Apple silicon (M1 or newer), AMD quad-core with SSE 4.2 Compatibility: Works in AU, VST, VST3, AAX-compatible DAWs Internet: Required for downloading and managing licenses Additional: Softube and iLok accounts Note: While Weiss Deess is designed to work across a wide range of systems and DAWs, it shines brightest when used in officially supported host applications and with up-to-date systems meeting all listed requirements. Transform your tracks from good to flawless with the Weiss Deess—the definitive solution for professional-grade de-essing.

Oxford SuprEsser

The Oxford SuprEsser is both a very highly-featured professional De-Esser and a Dynamic EQ. There is a simple mode for quick fixes, but also an advanced mode for increased functionality and fine-tuning. The combination of an intuitive FFT display and three listen modes enables the user to easily see and hear exactly where the problem frequencies are, allowing the rapid reduction or removal of the offending audio. As well as being able to trigger the full band compression, only the offending frequencies can be carefully carved out. Since the SuprEsser can operate at all frequencies, ‘plosives’ and other annoyances can also be removed effortlessly, making it more than a simple De-Esser. Additional features include Automatic Level Tracking, Linear Phase Filtering and a Wet/Dry blend control for final balancing.A new concept is born – a simple and intuitive De-Esser, PLUS access to a much more sophisticated frequency specific compressor, giving complete control over aggressive frequencies wherever they may be in the audio spectrum. With the Oxford SuprEsser, you can take out unwanted frequency peaks as and when they occur - unlike applying a fixed EQ to the whole channel.As a De-Esser, the Oxford SuprEsser is designed for the treatment of sibilance and fricatives in vocals, and the treatment of unwanted whistles and 'spirant' artefacts associated with wind instruments. However, it can equally be applied to removing low-end 'plosives' and thuds from over-close vocal work, without affecting components nearby in the frequency spectrum, keeping the low-end in tact. For the most natural-sounding results, the SuprEsser de-esses only the frequency band you set - so you won't end up with an over-de-essed lisp-like voice with all the top end gone!Detailed visual feedback is provided thanks to the highly intuitive graphical display, allowing quick identification of the frequencies that need treatment and where to set the threshold. The threshold level and peak hold levels of the user-definable band are shown on the graph, alongside the FFT display of the narrow band signal, which includes retention of the peak level and the frequency containing the most energy.At the heart of the Oxford SuprEsser is an enhanced version of the compressor section of the Oxford Dynamics plug-in, which is renowned amongst professional users for delivering precise and transparent control of peaks. Around this is built a pair of cross-over filters to make the compressor react only to the defined frequency band. These linear phase filters are modelled on the filters from the Oxford EQ, making the SuprEsser useful for precise mastering work as well as mixing work.Three listen modes allow the user to listen to the mix, the output of the band-pass filter ('Inside') or the output of the band-reject filter ('Outside').Careful thought has been put into making the Oxford SuprEsser extremely easy and quick to use. The screenshot above shows the plug-in as it appears when first activated. Once the frequency band has been defined, simply lower the threshold fader until the gain reduction meter starts to kick in. The plug-in then automatically tracks the general signal level and the threshold follows accordingly so that it gives the same relative amount of gain reduction as the signal level rises or falls. This is perfect for vocals where, for example, a vocalist is louder in the chorus than the verse, but you want to apply the same relative amount of de-essing, and not over de-ess in the chorus. This Auto Level Tracking mode lets the SuprEsser do all the hard work. It can also be switched off for a fixed threshold.Pressing the 'More' button gives access to ALL the controls.In its default mode of operation, the Oxford SuprEsser feeds the defined 'Band' signal to the compressor to affect only this narrow band signal. The result is that the compressor reacts only to specific frequency components when they reach a specific threshold, and applies compression only to these specific frequency components, leaving the rest of the spectrum untouched. 'Wide' can also be selected to allow full-band compression reacting to only specific frequencies or any combination of Band and Wide defining 'when the compressor reacts' and 'what it compresses' (narrow or wide/full-band).The Oxford SuprEsser comes complete with many presets to act as good starting points, alternatively, the advanced section gives full access to all controls for precise correction or even creative use.<h4>Features</h4><ul><li>64-bit compliant (AAX / AU / VST)</li><li>Highly featured professional De-Esser</li><li>Linear Phase Dynamic EQ</li><li>Transparently controls aggressive frequencies</li><li>Automatic Level Tracking follows energy levels (no need to automate threshold)</li><li>Large intuitive graphic display makes finding frequencies very easy</li><li>Full Spectrum Operation (20Hz -20KHz)</li><li>Three different 'Listen' modes</li><li>Very easy to use</li><li>Advanced Mode for ultimate control of the Dynamic EQ</li><li>Many creative as well as corrective uses</li><li>Presets giving good starting points</li></ul>Plug-in Formats<ul><li>Native: AAX, RTAS, Audio Units and VST</li></ul><h4>System Requirements</h4>macOS<ul><li>OS X 10.8 or later - M1 compatible using Rosetta 2.</li><li>Formats: AAX-Native, AU, VST3</li><li>Supported hosts: Pro Tools 10.3.8 – 12 (AAX Native), Pro Tools 7 – 10 (TDM & RTAS), Logic Pro X 10.2, Logic 8 & 9, Digital Performer, Nuendo, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One</li><li>iLok 2, iLok 3 USB key OR an iLok account with an active internet connection.</li></ul>Windows<ul><li>Windows 7 or later.</li><li>Formats: AAX-Native, VST</li><li>Pro Tools 10.3.8 – 12 (AAX Native), Pro Tools 7 – 10 (TDM & RTAS), Nuendo, Cubase, Ableton Live, Samplitude, Sequoia, Pyramix, Studio One.</li><li>iLok 2, iLok 3 USB key OR an iLok account with an active internet connection.</li></ul>Please note: This product supports iLok Cloud Authorisation. An iLok USB Dongle OR an active internet connection is required in order to activate and use this product.
