The DeEsser removes sibilance and other high frequency “SSS”‑type sounds, which are often created when a narrator or vocalist pronounces the letters “s” and “t.” This effect is available for 5.1, stereo, or mono clip.

Gain

Specifies the amount of reduction applied to the “SSS” sound. The meter displays the amount of the reduction, in decibels.

Male and Female

Specifies the gender of the narrator or vocalist. This option helps the effect to adapt to the difference in tone between genders.
