Tame sibilance in vocal tracks and other audio sources with the Metric Halo Precision De-Esser v4 Plug-In, and achieve a polished, professional sound quickly and efficiently. Featuring a high-precision linear-phase filter block and an Ess-compressor, the plug-in allows you to target specific frequencies and surgically remove excessive high-frequency content without sacrificing overall tone quality.
Comprehensive listening controls enable you to hear exactly what is (or isn't) being removed—choose five different points in the processing chain to monitor. Built-in SpectraFoo analysis lets you visualize the frequency spectrum for easy adjustments, while the scalable gain-reduction meter assists you with monitoring the level of gain reduction. With all parameters being fully automatable, Precision De-Esser seamlessly integrates with your DAW's automation system, giving you full control over the processing during mixdown.
