DSR
De-essing should be simple
Quick. Clean. Effortless.
De-essing
We believe de-essing should be fast and easy. No complicated controls, no confusing parameters and no distracting extras. So we built DSR - the simplest, fastest, most satisfying way to get transparent & musical de-essing in your mixes.

"Black Salt Audio continues to shock and impress me with their simple, practical, and useable plugins. A De-Esser should be 2 things: SIMPLE, and TRANSPARENT. That's exactly what BSA achieved with DSR!"

Features
Intuitive Design
DSR is a simple & effective De-Esser, fine-tuned to achieve transparent
musical results.
Only two controls for Threshold and Range. We put all of the
complexity under the hood where it belongs.
Precise Processing
Attenuates sibilance without harming the
natural frequency balance of the vocal.
Great Results Every Time
Threshold: This sets the Threshold in dB at which point the de-esser
starts applying gain reduction. The Threshold acts on an internally
fine-tuned sidechain signal, focusing on the most problematic
regions in the vocal track.
The Range sets a limit for how much gain reduction can occur. For
example, with a range of -6dB, the de-esser will reduce up to -6dB
but not further, so you can dial in the perfect amount of “Sss”
Zero Latency
DSR has ZERO latency, which makes it the perfect
candidate to tame any harsh vocal in real time.

2Threshold
The Threshold acts on an internally fine-tuned sidechain signal, which pinpoints the harsh sibilance. Set the threshold to catch sibilance; bring it down for more aggressive reduction.
3Light/Dark Mode
Choose your vibe. Looks as good as it sounds.
4Gain Reduction Meter
See how much sibilance-reduction is happening.
5Range
Sets a limit for how much reduction can occur. Dial in the perfect amount of “Sss”
“Alright there's some kind of magic going on here. When I compare it to some of my go-to de-essers, whatever it's doing, it gives it a more preferable sound!!”

“A very transparent and useful tool that takes care of all the ‘S’s in a great way, without it feeling like it does damage to them like other de-essers on the market.”

Key Features
- DSR is a smart and dynamic De-Esser, fine-tuned to achieve musical results.
- Only two controls for Threshold and Range while abstracting the underlying complexity of the plugin.
- It attenuates sibilance without causing harm or natural frequency imbalance in the rest of the voice.
- Threshold: This sets the Threshold in dB at which point the de-esser starts applying gain reduction. The Threshold acts on an internally fine-tuned sidechain signal, focusing on the most problematic regions in the incoming audio file
- The Range sets a limit for how much gain reduction can occur. For example, with a range of -6dB, the de-esser will reduce up to -6dB but not further. It will maintain the gain reduction at -6dB until it exceeds this value again.
