McDSP DE555 Advanced De-esser HD v7

Full Description

High frequency only mode

When using a de-esser your main priority is often to remove any plosives or 'sss' sounds from your dialog track. You'll have often spent time recording a vocal that is natural and full of character only for a de-esser to suck out the life and reduce your track just to the words spoken or sung without any luscious tone accompanying it. Well, this is where DE555's high frequency only mode is ideal for preserving naturality by removing just the plosive sound and keeping the rest of the track unaffected without any need for automation or long-winded editing. Combined with the unique focus control you have the ultimate tool for removing esses from any track.

Classic McDSP versatility

With McDSP you always get more than you bargained for with hidden features or a high-class design that is suitable for more than just the task that their plug-ins are named after and DE555 doesn't break the mould. You can use its functionalities for more than just removing plosives from vocals. We've all had it, you record a near-perfect guitar track, only for it to be ruined by a sneaky high-pitched squeal or squeak caused by the guitarist moving fret position. Well, DE555 is about to become your best friend, as you can in fact utilise the aforementioned features to clean up your guitar tracks and filter out the squeak to give you an immaculate sounding track.

Clean intuitive design and function

The design of DE555 lends itself to any producer, whether you're a young bedroom startup or you're working on full productions in the world's finest recording institutions. The clean and simple interface is easy to get to grips with and is something that will become second nature in no time. With level readouts and detailed metering, you'll always be able to not only hear but also see what you're doing to whatever track you're working on and with the low-latency nature of DE555 you're able to make changes on the fly in real-time with no lag or stutter.
