D Esser Vst Free
ERA 5 De-Esser runs as a VST, Audio Unit or AAX plugin within a piece of host software: a DAW or an NLE such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Audition, Audacity, Apple. Vst Lisp is a level-independent sibilance processor. Whether you use a traditional de-esser, sidechained compressor, dynamic EQ, or even edit your tracks manually, cleaning up sibilance problems in your vocals can get pretty tedious.
Ahh, sibilance. Crucial for intelligibility, but lethal in high doses. And if you’re stacking your vocal tracks, that goes triple.
The battle may be a little closer to won with the Tonmann De-Esser, a great little free plugin from Tonmann.
Check out the spiel from the website:
“Tonmann DeEsser is a basic high frequency dynamic processor VST plugin, called a DeEsser because it’s mainly designed to get rid of ‘stinging’ sibilants that may occur on vocals after compression or adding a high boost.”
“The plugin has been carefully designed to suppress any artificial or alienated sound that may arise under awkward situations with some other (even some hardware) DeEssers.”
Sounds good to me. Run it in mono or stereo, it features lookahead functionality and ‘listen’ mode.
De Esser Plugin Audacity
This is the updated version, with a sexy new GUI from DeLaMancha.

I'm wrestling with getting some good de-essing, for a spoken vocal track (think: podcast type), and I'm getting the opposite of what I want, when trying the Spitfish de-esser (my post-processing track seems to show what it took out, rather than what I want it to leave behind).I'm ready to buy a plug-in, if it's good enough, but I don't know which one to buy. With this being the start of a brand new decade, I'd say it's time to get some expert input and updates on the best currently-available de-esser plug-ins, and/or on any equalizer graphs that can effectively do the same things.
So . . . I'd appreciate it enormously if any experts would weigh in, with any opinions on the best de-essers, in each of the following cost categories:
Free (I'll edit this post, or add another, with a link to a thread on Spitfish, which is free; maybe I'll get an answer there).
Less than $100, such as:
Accusonus ERA De-Esser ($59 from places such as sweetwater.com)
More than $100, such as:
Soothe, by OEKSound, $149: https://oeksound.com/plugins/soothe/)
