Product Description

• Softube Weiss Collection Weiss DS1-MK3 Weiss MM-1 Weiss Compressor/Limiter Weiss Deess Whether you’re trying to tame sibilance in a lead vocal
• rein in a sharp-sounding hi-hat
• or reduce harshness while mastering
• a truly great de-esser is as elusive as it is essential. Enter the Weiss Deess
• available as an individual plug-in or as part of the Weiss DS1-MK3 collection. Most de-essers – even modern digital or plug-in units – lack versatility
• user-friendliness
• appropriate visualisation
• or quite simply don’t work like you hope they will. With a combination of the highly-prized sonics of the industry gold-standard Weiss DS1-MK3 – the go-to digital hardware de-essing unit used in top mastering studios the world over – and a totally modern and focused approach in design
• Softube is psyched to announce the Weiss Deess Plug-in. Stop searching
• start succeeding - this is the de-esser. First of all
• it has two completely independent bands. Most de-essers have one
• but almost no sibilant has a single-frequency focus
• especially when you’re dealing with complex material or mastering applications. Secondly
• it has a variety of filter shapes and excellent band-width control
• allowing you to home in on precisely what you need to deal with
• without collateral damage. Thirdly
• it has unparalleled visualizations. A large
• colorful
• and intuitive display shows FFT readouts as well as your filter shapes
• so you can clearly see what effect you’re having on your signal. Fourthly
• the faceplate GUI is uncluttered
• focusing on giving great visual information
• but a side-menu allows control over everything. And we mean everything; ratios
• attack and release times
• knee settings
• make-up gain and more. Fifth; a low-latency mode allows you to de-ess in tracking
• saving the tedium in the mix of what can often feel like a non-creative editing task. Nothing beats getting it right on the way in. Lastly
• and most importantly of all
• the Weiss algorithms
• code-ported from the gold-standard DS1-MK3 unit
• provide the best sounding de-essing in the world. It does the job effectively and transparently
• without hassle or artefact. Your work will sound better if you use this than it will if you don’t. It’s as simple as that. In short The best-sounding de-esser available
• with code-ported algorithms from the industry standard DS1-MK3. Two bands of de-essing. This is the only de-esser you’ll need. Stunning and intuitive visualisations make this de-esser a breeze to use. Clean tweak-and-go faceplate
• with immensely detailed controls hidden in side-menu. Ultra-professional tool
• but without the daunting
• complex look. Low-latency mode allows you to de-ess while tracking a vocal. All the versatility you need in terms of filter shapes
• frequencies etc. System Requirements macOS Big Sur 11
