FabFilter Pro-DS

FabFilter Pro-DS: Precision and Transparency in De-Essing

Even when utilizing top-notch mics, pre-amps, and converters, sibilance in vocal recordings can be unintentionally overemphasized during post-processing activities like compression or saturation. But worry not! FabFilter Pro-DS is here to help you manage sibilance with precision and clarity.

Accurate Sibilance Detection

FabFilter Pro-DS is equipped with a highly sophisticated 'Single Vocal' detection algorithm. This feature enables Pro-DS to accurately identify and subtly attenuate sibilance in vocal recordings.

In 'Allround' mode, Pro-DS transforms into a fantastic high-frequency limiter for any material, from drums to complete mixes.

Everything You Need, Effortlessly Accessible

FabFilter Pro-DS brings you everything you need to achieve the best results, encapsulated within a user-friendly interface. It includes wide-band or linear-phase split-band processing, an optional look-ahead of up to 15 ms, customizable stereo linking with mid-only or side-only processing options, and up to four times linear-phase oversampling. Simply put, Pro-DS has got you covered.
