Weiss Deess

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.

I have to admit, I don't know how the Weiss sounds, but in principle I prefer the SPL way of phase cancelling the S-sounds rather than compressing it. TBH I never understood why I need a special De-esser for this and not just a simple dynamic eq (when it comes to software).

 

imho anything that is out there has a reason,
Compressor could do something similar to limiter (but not exactly)

 

Are you sure about that?



Just as an example.

I agree with this philosophical statement. Everything happens for a reason (apart from the things in quantum physics). The question is, is it a good one? But this may not belong here.

BTW, that Tube-Tech stuff is great.

 

Not sure about the softube but there are deesser, that work with a voice/word recognition or better an s recognition and not only with frequencies. Try one of thoose, changed my thinking about deessers. cougHOFA cough...

 

I really like Weiss GUI.

 

Limiting is a type of compression- a limiter is a compressor. However not allcompressors are limiters. The primary deciding factor is that a very high ratio, typically 20:1 all the way to infinity:1, doesn't allow much of your signal past the threshold- which limits the signal to a certain peak level.
Simply limiter is a compressor with very high ratio,

if you are asking about omnipressor i have to say that i'd like the Eventide stuffs, imo they are really good and popular!

and about the Weiss Deess, i didn't tried it yet but here is a quotation in softube website:
The plugin has the same golden sound as the original hardware, with an intuitive interface, making it the best deessing experience ever.

GUIs are now much simpler, almost no 3D, no light reflections on panels/meters, smaller poteniometers/knobs/buttons, better visibility. GUIs are made simpler, close to Ignite Amps PTEQ-x, which is a free emulation of eqs combined in one unit + filters, tube stage modes, oversampling, etc. PTEQ is the best for free. Latest version was updated for better quality and new dsp engine

Yes, thankfully they're moving away from that stupid fish-eye look and reflections of someone's room that just impairs functionality, makes everything harder to see. That's great! But I won't comment much on the quality of their DSP... just that I hope they're making them sound even better...

 

+1 for HOFA

 

Interesting, speaking about mastering d-essers, i like this brainworx, wich also works fine almost always in vocals or top perc

 

sorry, but im not agree with you bx-refinement is not a de-esser!
but yes, it can remove the harsh's nicely!
