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.

AVA De-Esser

<h4 class="ql-align-center">AVA De-Esser</h4>What is the AVA De-Esser?The AVA De-Esser is the latest implementation of Harrison’s renowned De-Esser algorithm, used in ultra high-end post & film facilities worldwide. Now in the fourth generation, the Harrison De-Esser algorithm has been continuously tweaked by our customers in high-end music, film, broadcast, and video post-production.Harrison’s reputation for “true analog in the box” sound is due to our unique development heritage, where we first created an analog processor and then converted the processor to digital while retaining the sound and character of the original.The AVA De-Esser implements Harrison’s 4th-generation algorithm that is tuned to detect and eliminate harsh sibilance. The results are quintessentially “Harrison”: effortless, smooth and transparent.<h4 class="ql-align-center">Controls</h4>Graph<h3 class="ql-align-center"><img src="https://www.pluginboutique.com/ckeditor_assets/pictures/23407/content_AVA_De-Esser_Graph_pluginboutique.jpg"></h3>The main display graph provides control of the De-Esser band frequencies and depths.Drag the “S” or “H” controls to adjust the “Ess” or “Hi” band frequency and depth.TIP: Click anywhere in the graph to simultaneously drag the band depths and center frequency. You can also scroll to adjust the bandwidth. This is the fastest way to adjust the most important De-Esser Controls.Input Meter, Threshold, and Ess meter<ul><li>The “Threshold” slider for the effect is overlaid on the input (“In”) meter.</li><li>Lowering the threshold will increase the sensitivity of the de-esser effect.</li><li>The “Ess” meter indicates the signal level inside the ess band. If the frequency band is set correctly for the source material, then this meter will peak when Essy material is present.</li></ul>Ess Freq and Ess Depth Control - This section allows you to pick the low-frequency cutoff (200 Hz - 8kHz) for the Ess, and the max attenuation for the signal (-12dB - 0dB).Hi Freq and Hi Depth Control - This section features a shelving unit to tame some of the higher frequency (2 kHz - 12 kHz) content after you’ve pulled out the ‘Ess’. Max attenuation for the shelf is -12dB.Ess Center and Ess Width Control - The ‘Ess Center’ control allow you to adjust both the Ess Freq and Hi Freq controls together allowing you to move the entire Ess Band in unison. The ‘Ess Width’ control allows you to control how wide or narrow the Ess bandwidth is.Attack - The ‘Attack’ knob controls how long it takes the signal to get from zero to full attenuation. (200μs - 20ms)Auto Solo - Enabling ‘Auto Solo’ allows to you automatically audition your Ess Band as you change the parameters to really dial in the exact frequency and bandwidth of the Ess signal. Auto solo also works for auditioning the Hi Band when adjusting the Hi Freq control.<h3 class="ql-align-center"><img src="https://www.pluginboutique.com/ckeditor_assets/pictures/23408/content_AVA_De-Esser_Ess_pluginboutique.jpg"></h3><h4>Features</h4><ul><li>Intelligent algorithm operates on harsh sibilance while ignoring other fricatives.</li><li>Band Solo and Auto-Solo features to help dial-in the sibilant frequency range.</li><li>Capable of up to 12dB reduction in sibilance.</li><li>Adjustable threshold & depth allow fine control over the processor’s onset and strength.</li><li>Fast and easy-to-use interface with 6 control dimensions accessible in the main graph.</li><li>Zero-latency processing, suitable for “live” use.</li><li>Gain-reduction meter appears on Pro Tools (AAX) and Studio One (VST3) mixer strip.</li><li>The “Ear” icon engages the momentary-bypass function, which allows you to audition the un-affected signal while you hold the mouse button; then restores the settings when you release the button.</li><li>The “Gear” icon launches a menu with additional features including resizing, theme selection, and plugin version number.</li><li>The alternative “Vintage” theme uses the colour scheme of Harrison’s large-format console software.</li></ul><h3 class="ql-align-center"><img src="https://www.pluginboutique.com/ckeditor_assets/pictures/23409/content_AVA_De-Esser_Vintage_pluginboutique.jpg"></h3><h4>System Requirements </h4><ul><li>MacOS: 10.9 or newer required</li><li>Windows: Win7 or newer required</li><li>Linux: Please try the demo</li></ul>Host DAW support:<ul><li>ProTools: 10.3.5 or newer required for Windows, 11 or higher required for Mac.
