Our ERA 5 De-Esser provides a single-dial solution for removing “Ess” sounds in spoken audio; but sometimes you need more control and customization. As part of the ERA Bundle Pro, the ERA De-Esser Pro lets you tailor the intelligent de-essing response with Focus and Shaping controls, and provides a larger display to visualize the audio waveform.

Dramatically improve your audio production workflow

ERA De-Esser Pro gives you more options to fine-tune the exact response of its processing.

n intelligent de-esser with precision controls to perfectly sculpt the response – move beyond de-essing into de-harshing of non-voice sources.

Specify the problem frequencies that you want ERA De-Esser Pro to work on. The Focus control lets you target frequencies centred from 1kHz to 8kHz.

For a gentler response or a steeper dynamic reduction, set the Shaping of the processing between Soft and Sharp characteristics.

How to use the ERA De-Esser Pro plugin

With an intuitive set of controls, the ERA De-Esser Pro offers both surgical precision and fast processing options. Here are the main features:

Processing

Load ERA De-Esser Pro over sibilant audio and start by turning the central Processing control up to increase how much de-essing or de-harshing is happening.

Focus

Set the central frequency range that you want ERA De-Esser Pro to process. The default 4000Hz setting is usually great for voice recordings, but you can shift focus based on the particular harshness. Moving down to 1kHz or up to 8kHz can help de-harsh cymbals or tame overly-bright treble.

Shaping

Acts like a ‘character’ control for the Ess detection and suppression. Two recordings may have harsh Ess frequencies in the same frequency range, but one may need gentler or stronger reduction than the other.

Waveform Visualizer

Sibilance is displayed as green areas on top of your input audio waveform. Depending on the amount of Processing applied, these are the areas that will be reduced.

Diff

Preview your audio with just the Ess sounds that are being removed. This is useful for setting the Focus control and honing in on the exact roughness that you want to get rid of using the plugin.

Input/Output Gain

Drive the Input gain harder before it hits the de-essing process, and raise the Output gain to compensate for level reduction caused.
