DSR

DSR by Black Salt Audio is a de-esser built for speed and simplicity. With just two controls—Threshold and Range—it tames harsh sibilance without wrecking the natural tone of your vocal. Threshold sets where gain reduction kicks in on a finely tuned sidechain that targets the most problematic frequencies, while Range caps how much reduction can occur, so you can dial in exactly the right amount of ‘Sss’ without over-processing. The result is transparent, musical de-essing that keeps the vocal sounding natural. Because DSR runs with zero latency, it’s perfect for real-time tracking and mixing, letting you smooth out harsh vocals on the fly in FL Studio, Ableton Live, or Logic Pro. It suits hobby producers and engineers who want fast, reliable results without menu-diving—ideal for vocals, voiceovers, and any source that needs sibilance control with minimal fuss.
