Product Description
Antelope Audio DXDesser Precision De-Essing & Dynamic Processing Plug-in is a powerful native plug-in for transparent, surgical control of sibilance and harsh high-frequency content in vocals, instruments, and full mixes. Built for clarity and speed, it delivers professional-grade results with intuitive control and visual precision.
TARGETED FREQUENCY DETECTION
Sweep across a wide range—from 0.8 to 12 kHz—to isolate and reduce unwanted sibilance and sharp transients with exact precision. Control the intensity and behavior of processing using dedicated Threshold and Range parameters. Achieve subtle polish or aggressive reduction without compromising tone.
FLEXIBLE PROCESSING MODES
Choose between three distinct operating modes:
- Wide-Band – Applies global reduction across the signal
- Split-Band – Isolates high-frequency content for transparent control
- Frequency Mode – Focuses processing on a narrow band for surgical correction
LOOK-AHEAD FUNCTIONALITY
A built-in 0–15ms look-ahead engine ensures smooth, preemptive gain reduction, preventing harsh peaks from slipping through. Waveform visualization, gain reduction metering, and output level monitoring let you see exactly how and where DXDesser is working—no guesswork.
