Anyone tried Fabfilter Pro? I'm just trying the 30 day demo and its really good.
I've become very sensitive to sibilance and it got to the point where it would really annoy
me. Simply trying to EQ it out doesnt really work and loses too much of the upper midrange.
I really dont want to spend $170 for the plugin but I haven't found another plugin that
seems to work. Especially with the 'look ahead' algorythm. You can adjust the
amount of sibilance to take the edge of just enough without losing the sense of treble.
I use it in Equalizer APO system-wide.

If it really works for you $170,- seems to be a fair price.
Ask yourself the question of how much you would pay for it when it came in a hardware-box.
I know it feels different to pay for a black-box with plugs on it (and a nice display maybe) than paying for software, especially in this day and age where many people believe software is free but it takes serious money to develop. If it came in a hardware box you would be paying around 75% of the price for the software development anyways.
So I would say, just do it and don't think about it too much.
I have no experience with their de-esser but their EQ plugins are very good.

The problem with paying for software is that it can stop working at any time for
various reasons, like hardware changes or system software upgrades.
And there's no warranty that it will continue working in such events.
Or the software company can go belly up and stop supporting their products.
Your're just out of luck.

It's a VST plugin. It's one of the industry standards that have been working for ages. As long as you have a working VST host, something that won't dissapear from the market anytime soon, it will continue to work, most probably for at least the next 20 years to come and allready survived many hardware protocols like Firewire and in the near future USB so even with bying hardware this problem exists.
