Product Detail
The Metric Halo Precision DeEsser v4 is a top - notch linear - phase, frequency - sensitive dynamics processor. It's a game - changer for audio processing, enabling you to remove excessive high - frequency content from your tracks, all while keeping the high - end sharp and clear. This plugin combines high - precision linear phase filter technology, ChannelStrip's dynamics processing, and SpectraFoo's metering and analysis. You can quickly zero in on problem frequencies and fix them efficiently. With comprehensive listening controls, you can precisely monitor what's being removed at five different points in the processing chain. As with all Metric Halo plugins, full automation of parameters gives you total control during mixdown. Ideal for vocal tracks, it's also great for sound design and other audio tasks. Key features include world - class signal processing, a high - precision linear - phase filter block, an Ess - Compressor, SpectraFoo spectrum analysis, scalable gain reduction meters, numerous presets, an adjustable UI, and cross - platform preset management. In version 4, it adds VST3 support on macOS and Windows, including native Apple Silicon support for VST hosts. There are new features like Undo/Redo, A/B snapshots, and more flexible resizability. Preset management is improved, and you can copy/paste settings between instances. The installers on macOS have a significantly reduced download size, and there are user - configurable themes, knob styles, and color preferences. The UI layout and visuals are also refined.
Using the Metric Halo Precision DeEsser v4 is easy. First, load the plugin into your audio software. For vocal tracks, it's a great start. Listen carefully to your audio using the comprehensive listening controls. You can choose five different points in the processing chain to monitor and figure out which high - frequency content needs to be removed. Adjust the high - precision linear - phase filter block with the Center, Bandwidth, and Sharpness controls to target specific frequencies. Use the Ess - Compressor with Threshold, Ratio, Attack, and Release controls to manage the compression. Take advantage of the presets to quickly get a good sound. When you're mixing, use the parameter automation feature to have full control over the processing. Remember, since this plugin supports multiple formats like AU, AAX, VST2, and VST3, make sure your audio software is compatible. If you're on macOS with Apple Silicon, you can use the VST3 native support. When updating the software, check the plugin details pane (accessed by the MH Logo) for update information. To keep the plugin running smoothly, make sure your operating system is up - to - date. Also, if you change the user - configurable themes, knob styles, or color preferences, test them to ensure they don't affect your workflow negatively.
