Softube Weiss Deess - $89

[Heath Row]

De-essing.
Re-imagined.

 

Whether you’re trying to tame sibilance in a lead vocal, rein in a sharp-sounding hi-hat, or reduce harshness while mastering, a truly great de-esser is as elusive as it is essential. Enter the Weiss Deess, available as an individual plug-in or as part of the Weiss DS1-MK3 collection.

With a combination of the highly-prized sonics of the industry gold-standard Weiss DS1-MK3 – the go-to digital hardware de-essing unit used in top mastering studios the world over – and a totally modern and focused approach in design, Softube is psyched to announce the Weiss Deess Plug-in. Stop searching, start succeeding – this is the de-esser.

 

Dual band action

The Weiss Deess has two completely independent bands. Most de-essers have one, but almost no sibilant has a single-frequency focus, especially when you’re dealing with complex material or mastering applications.

 

Concentrate on what's important

The variety of filter shapes and excellent band-width control, allows you to home in on precisely what you need to deal with, without collateral damage.

 

Low latency mode

A low-latency mode allows you to de-ess in tracking, saving the tedium in the mix of what can often feel like a non-creative editing task. Nothing beats getting it right on the way in.

 

This product supports
Extended Features

We love VU meters, Bakelite knobs, and analog quirks. But we want modern precision and workflow. The answer? Softube Extended Features. Easy-access panels with the innovations you need close at hand. 

 

In short

World class de-essing, with code-ported algorithms from the industry standard DS1-MK3.

Two bands of de-essing. This is the only de-esser you’ll need.

Stunning and intuitive visualisations make this de-esser a breeze to use.

Clean tweak-and-go faceplate, with immensely detailed controls hidden in side-menu.

Ultra-professional tool, but without the daunting, complex look.

Low-latency mode allows you to de-ess while tracking a vocal.

All the versatility you need in terms of filter shapes, frequencies etc.

This gives you a leg up into another desirable Softube Weiss Plugin, namely the Weiss DS1 - MK3, and the complete Weiss collection.

I purchased mine directly from Softube, and plan to upgrade shortly.
