Sonnox Oxford SuprEsser DS

A feisty and powerful real time de esser

This is the most obvious and powerful software de esser I have used. It responds very quickly, almost too quickly sometimes and needs a little tempering. I can't imagine the old de essers being able to do what this does to a sound. I am obsessed with the top end because I believe this to be the weakest aspect of digitally produced music. A sweet top end makes or breaks a track. I am still struggling after many years and still not content, but this de esser will help with vocals particularly. I'm determined to stick with software and avoid buying hardware Neve to get the top end smooth. The 3D dynamics and the top end are still the biggest weakness digitally. I believe Uaudio will eventually get to grips with this. If the Apollo can play nice top end mixes and project a 3d image then it can make it too. That is obvious. Keep up the good work, Uaudio.

Sssss! (lol)
