Recording - February 2017 - 63
I should note that even when Idle was
set to Off (i.e. always active), I found
the e²deesser to be pretty efficient,
considering the lookahead and processing
it uses. A single instance took about 7%
of my processing power in Cubase 7.5.
The last section of the user interface
is across the top of the window. It's a
large spectral meter that highlights hot
sibilant spots in orangish white. It lets
you see where they live in the mix and
when you are taking them out.
In use
As the videos on the Eiosis website
point out, this is a plug-in that can be
as simply "set it and forget it" as you
want, or you can get very detailed
in your sibilant eradication. In either
case, the drop-down preset menu is the
best place to start. Most of its selections
will do the heavy lifting up front, and
you can gently tweak to perfection for
your tracks.
On the other extreme, once you get
the hang of how e²deesser works,
it's a very easy plug-in to start from
scratch with, to dial in just what you
need. I learned this at last year's AES
Convention, where a member of the
Eiosis team gave me a runthrough of
the plug-in and literally said, "Forget
the presets, watch this!" In less than ten
minutes, he had me both understanding
what the plug-in was doing and flying
around it like a pro.
As with any de-essing tool, most of
the e²deesser controls like Sensitivity,
Amount, and Auto work hand in hand. If
any of them is pushed out of whack, the
sound can get resonant and unnatural
very quickly, which is a good indication
that you've gone too far. Once you hear
things sounding grainy, metallic, and/
or lisp-like, just pull things back gently
until they don't.
Dialed in just right, this is a very
natural-sounding and transparent deess tool, and the dynamic equalizer
is icing on the cake that really takes
e²deesser over the top. This is the
first de-essing tool where instead of
just notching out the offending esses,
you can carve them out and mold the
frequencies around them to taste in a
fast, deep, yet intuitive way.
Conclusions
It's always a treat to work with Eiosis
plug-ins, as they offer so much power
combined with innovation and ease of
use. Just as he did for equalization with
AirEQ Premium, Fabrice has taken the
common age-old de-esser and given it
new life and expanded capabilities.
Thumbs way up.
