McDSP DE555 Advanced De-esser HD v7 keeps vocal sibilance under control without dulling the performance. Designed for AAX DSP users, this de-essing effect uses intelligent signal analysis to handle changing signal levels without manual input threshold adjustments. Continuously variable ratio and release controls let you shape the reduction, while HF-only mode targets high-frequency harshness rather than turning down the entire voice. High-pass and bandpass key filters, a dedicated focus control, and key signal monitoring help isolate troublesome ‘sss’ sounds from the surrounding dialogue. Real-time reduction metering and a filter response display make adjustments easy to follow. With mono and stereo versions, double-precision processing, and an updated interface, DE555 suits producers and dialogue editors seeking transparent, precise sibilance control in an AAX DSP workflow.
