How to use it

Not only can we use a De-esser on vocals, we can also take advantage of it in mastering and mixing. A De-esser works similarly to a compressor, but acts on a specific frequency range.

Processing
Similar to the Threshold, the lower it goes, the more compression it will give.
Take it to the lowest level and start going up from there until you hear the compression you want.

Output and Level
Output: Used to compensate for the loss of volume caused by compression.
Level: Shows the output and reduction level of the signal we are applying.

Intensity
Similar to the Ratio of a compressor, the higher, the stronger the compression, Maximum 10:1.

Sharpness
Similar to attack and release. The lower the sharpness, the softer and more natural the compression will be, on the contrary, the higher the sharpness, the more aggressive and the longer it will act.
