Looking for a really effective really light weight dedicated DeEsser VST?


I'm hoping to find for something like the classic Waves De-esser but I'd like it to be the old Waves VST.

I am hoping to learn of a discreet VST like that Waves De-esser... I don't want anything buried in a channel strip.

32 and 64 bit would be great.



best regards,
mike

    Did you ever try the free Spitfish, by Digitalfishphones? Hasn't been updated in a while I believe so there probablly isn't a 64 bit version. I used to use their plug-ins quite a bit on the pc.

    A quick search on Google leads me to believe that a DeEsser must be the one plug-in people don't want to pay for - all the links are for free plugs. :s


    If you have an iLock, maybe you can try Sonnox' SuprEsser. Don't know how light it is though.

    The controls in the Sonnox are very appealing... the iLok is a deal killer.

    That's why I will not buy my own Waves version.

    Spitfish is nice... I'd like to pay for more control.

    KVR doesn't have many others listed.

    There is a Universal Audio version but you need their card and the UI for that Desser isn't the type I want either.



    Thank You.


    I am hoping there might be something still out there.


    best regards,

    Spitfish works pretty well. The only complaint I've had about it is that the sensitivity sometimes can't be turned up high enough for quiet tracks. Still, it's what I reach for first because of its CPU-friendliness. That is, when I use a de-esser at all, which is rarely.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
