Spitfish De-Esser: VST Plugin - Free Download

The time tested de-esser plugin Spitfish can remove any unnecessary hisses from your tracks and smoothen the sound of your vocals. Similar to the classic analog de-essers Spitfish behaves like a dynamic EQ peak filter: The Depth knob compresses sibilants (turn it up for more compression), and the Tune knob acts like a high-frequency EQ. To operate SpitFish is really easy. You start by turning on the Listen button and twist the Sense knob up. You then sweep the Tune knob around until you hear the annoying sibilance you want to remove. And finally, simply turn the Depth knob until the sibilance is removed.

Features:
• A time tested classic de-esser.
• Easy to use.
• Behaves very much like a dynamic filter.
• Soft Mode to reduce the aggressiveness of the de-esser and deliver a smoother sound.
• Stereo Switch.
• Listen feature which lets you hear the frequencies that are being removed.

De-esser plugin for vocals

The free Spitfish de-esser VST plugin by Digital Fish Phones is an easy to use de-esser effect, aimed mainly at vocal tracks (mono or stereo). Just like the classic analog hardware de-essers, the Spitfish de-esser dynamically filters out harsh, annoying s-like sounds that would otherwise 'spit' in your face.
The Spitfish de-esser can be used both for taking out the harsh consonants and sibilance of a vocal track, as well as for taming other unwanted frequencies (e.g. from cymbals) in your mixes. Windows 32-bits only.
