De-Esser
Compresses the signal above a specified frequency. The de-esser controls sibilant (hissing) sounds
included in speech that are produced by the letter "S." Both mono channel and stereo channel de-
essers are provided.
Mono channel de-essers have one input and one output each. Stereo channel de-essers have two
inputs and two outputs each.
Double-click a component to open the component editor for it. The parameters are the same for mono
channel and stereo channel components.
