All this talk about Waves reminds me to ask:

What's a good free- or shareware Direct X de-esser plugin?

IMHO.

Hey DJ-

Do you have any of their other plug-ins? Those are great
prices, so I am just curious about the sound quality,
compared to PSP or Kjerhaus or Waves... Thanks,

Chris

Not to be a pessimist, but I've got the DB de-esser, and it's ok at best.
Better than nothing. My DBX 263 hardware unit blows it away. I paid only
$60 for it, too.

Just a thought.

I've got all of them. I'd put them in the same ballpark with Waves. I
actually prefer the DB multiband to the Waves multiband.

Well, my SPL 9629 blows it away too and the deesser in my RED7 outperforms
it as well, but we're talking plugins vs hardware here. Good hardware's in a
different league. As far as software goes, if I'm needing a deesser, I'll
usually reach for the DB multiband first.

Hi DJ,

I have no doubt at all that your SPL 9629 blows the DB De-esser away!!!

I guess my point was taking yours a step further even.

I think that even ok, cheap-beacuase-it's-old hardware blows the doors off
plugins, and given that such gear is so cheap, it might be a better a solution
than plugins.

We use the DB de-esser at work doing voice overs for TV, and it helps, but
we're still not happy with it. We're working with a very tight budget, so
adding hardware isn't an option - we don't even have the outputs and inputs
to interface with external devices, so it's a non-starter.

I can appreciate not having the hardware option.

But, if you've got it, I think it's worth looking at.

All the best,

Mike

Undestood Mikie. I wasn't trying to be argumentative (honest ;o). the DBX is
actually a very good unit and for $60.00, I can sure see your point. I've
been happy with the DB De-esser, but I've never really thought of it as
being in the same league with hardware.

Regards,

Deej

A plugin version of the SPL deesser used to be sold as a separate app, then
was sold only as part of VST. I've been looking for this, because, I understand
that their hardware version is great.

The hardware version is, quite simply, transparent and idiot
proof.......thus being an appropriate item to have in the rack of yours
truly. I scored mine on an EBay audtion out of GB for a very reasonable
price. One of the best pruchases I have made in a while. Gets used on
*every* mix.

Spitfish is good, especially for a freebie - I concur.
