O AVA De-Esser is the latest implementation of Harrison's renowned De-Esser algorithm. Now in its fourth generation, it is used by audio engineers and producers around the world.

Proprietary DSP allows you to easily and transparently remove unwanted sibilance and high-frequency energy from problematic dialogue and vocals. It only reduces problematic frequencies without affecting vocal intelligence, helping to ensure a great sound mix. Due to its ultra-low latency operation, De Esser can be used for live streaming or podcasting.

Smart algorithm

Experience the power of AVA De-Esser , a cutting-edge algorithm that has been refined by feedback from leading professionals in the music, film and broadcast industries. The De-Esser can detect and eliminate harsh sibilance with ease, giving your mix a smooth, balanced sound. Whether you're working with vocals, dialogue, or instruments, De-Esser will help you achieve sonic excellence.

Self-solo and Band solo

Ewo's smart and practical features that help you find the hissing frequency range with ease. With Auto-Solo, you can sweep the frequency knob until you hear the sibilance stand out, then adjust the threshold and amount of reduction to smooth out the harshness. With Band Solo, you can isolate and hear each frequency band separately and adjust the de-essing settings for each band. Auto-Solo and Band Solo will help you make your mix sound much better by eliminating unwanted sibilance quickly and effectively.

12 dB reduction

O AVA De-Esser is designed for heavy use. It can handle up to 12dB of reduction to control stubborn sibilance. Whether you're dealing with vocals, voiceovers, instruments, or any other audio source, De-Esser can smooth out the harshness and make your mix sound much better.

Adjustable threshold and depth

With adjustable threshold and depth, you can adjust the onset and strength of the de-esser effect. The input meter shows the level of the input signal, while the threshold slider allows you to decrease or increase the sensitivity of the de-esser. The ESS meter shows the signal level within the ESS band. When you set the frequency band correctly for your audio source, this meter will peak when hissing sounds are present.

Main Chart: Fast and easy to use with 6 control dimensions

AVA DS has a fast and easy to use interface that gives you access to 6 control dimensions on the main chart. You can adjust the threshold, frequency, bandwidth, attack, release and gain of each band with a simple click and drag. You can also solo and mute each band to hear the effect of your settings. ava DS lets you shape the sound of your audio across each frequency band with precision and ease.

Ultra-low latency processing

Ultra-low latency processing is essential for any professional or aspiring audio engineer who wants to record, edit, or playback audio in a live environment. Experience the difference of real-time audio processing, without delays that can hamper your performance, creativity, and audio quality.
