2024 Editor's Choice

FabFilter Pro-DS is a professional de-essing plug-in renowned for its superior performance in vocal processing. Its intelligent 'Single Vocal' detection algorithm effectively reduces sibilance in vocal recordings without sacrificing transparency. Additionally, when switched to 'Allround' mode, it proves to be an exceptional tool for high-frequency limiting across various audio materials such as drums or full mixes. Coupled with top-tier metering and real-time signal visualization features, Pro-DS is crafted to meet all your de-essing requirements.

The Pro-DS application filters the microphone input in real-time, providing precise control over audio output. Utilizing Pro-DS as a plug-in necessitates an AUv3-compatible host application like Auria, AUM, or Cubasis. The plug-in seamlessly integrates into the Audio Unit extensions list for effect plug-ins within the host app.

Key Features:

  • Highly intelligent 'Single Vocal' and classic 'Allround' detection modes
  • Transparent, program-dependent compression and limiting capabilities
  • Adjustable Threshold, Range, High-Pass, and Low-Pass side-chain filtering settings
  • Wide Band or linear-phase Split Band processing
  • Optional look-ahead time of up to 15 ms
  • Customizable stereo linking
  • Option for mid-only or side-only processing
  • Up to four times linear-phase oversampling
  • Real-time de-essing display for clear visualization of processed audio
  • Side-chain input meter for easy Threshold value selection
