De-esser
De-esser tames harsh sibilance — "s" and "sh" sounds — common in close-mic'd vocal recordings.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Range | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intensity | number | 0 to 1 | 0 | How strongly sibilance is attenuated. Default is effectively off — raise it to hear an effect. |
| Max Deessing | number | 0 to 1 | 0.5 | Ceiling on how much reduction can be applied, to avoid an unnaturally muffled "s". |

Parametric EQ can also tame harshness in the same frequency range with broader, less automatic control.
