What FabFilter Pro-DS Is For
FabFilter Pro-DS is a sibilance reduction (de-esser) plugin designed for vocal mixing and processing sources rich in high frequencies. It allows you to control "s," "ch," "t," and other harsh attacks transparently, resulting in a more stable, smoother voice that is easier to place in the mix. In "Allround" mode, it also becomes an effective tool for controlling excessive highs on overheads, cymbals, bright guitars, or even a stereo bus, while preserving the clarity and energy of the signal.
Main Features
Content-Adaptive Detection: Vocal or General Processing
Thanks to its two algorithms, Pro-DS adapts to your source: " Single Vocal" finely targets typical vocal sibilance, while " Allround" offers more universal detection for working on any type of material. The result is precise control with musical reduction, even on sensitive takes.
Visual Control and Precise Settings
The interface features a real-time display of sibilance reduction to immediately spot affected areas. Threshold, range, and HP (high-pass) and LP (low-pass) filter settings allow you to precisely target the problematic frequency band. A side-chain input level indicator helps choose a relevant threshold, and the integrated spectrum analyzer in the HP/LP controller aids in fine-tuning the filtering in context.
Processing Quality and Advanced Mix Options
Pro-DS offers broadband or linear phase processing, with adjustable look-ahead up to 15 ms to anticipate transients if needed. Stereo linking is freely adjustable, with optional mid-side (or side-only) processing to keep a stable center or clean up the sides of a mix. Linear phase oversampling up to four times enhances processing cleanliness on bright content.
