Even when using the best microphones, preamps, and converters, sibilance in vocal recordings can easily become accentuated during post-processing, such as compression or saturation. But don't worry, FabFilter Pro-DS is here to the rescue!
Precise detection
With its highly intelligent 'voice-only' detection algorithm, FabFilter Pro-DS accurately identifies sibilance in vocal recordings and attenuates it transparently.
When using 'Allround' mode, Pro-DS becomes a great tool for high-frequency limiting of any material, such as drums or even full mixes.
Everything you need
FabFilter Pro-DS offers everything you need to get the best possible result, presented in a simple and easy-to-use interface. Wideband or linear-phase split-band processing, optional lookahead of up to 15 ms, adjustable stereo linking with optional mid-only or side-only processing, linear-phase oversampling up to four times... it's all there.
FabFilter goodies
Of course, you also get all the usual FabFilter advantages: perfectly tuned knobs, MIDI learn, smart parameter interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an excellent help file with interactive help suggestions, SSE optimization, and much more.
