Key Features
The Sonnox Oxford SuprEsser (Native) is an advanced and transparent de-esser plug-in. Constructed using the architecture of other Oxford plug-ins including the compressor from Dynamics and mastering-grade linear-phase EQ from Dynamic EQ, SuprEsser lets you reduce problematic frequencies with near-zero latency in real-time. Powerful controls and precise parameters are matched with an intuitive FFT display, enabling you to quickly make adjustments to remove harshness from an electric guitar or remove sibilance from a vocal track.
A dynamic and powerful tool, eliminating sibilance, whistles and plosives is made easy using frequency-dependent suppression. Target anywhere on the full spectrum from 20Hz - 20kHz and let the dynamic auto-levelling tracker process your tracks with relative gain reduction regardless of incoming signal levels. Featuring advanced modes with three listening options, SuprEsser is the ultimate studio tool for both mixing and mastering applications. See exactly where problems lie in your signal using the intuitive FFT display and rapidly get to work on removing offending audio.
Product Ref: 228416
Creating a new concept for de-esser plug-ins, the Oxford SuprEsser is the first de-esser plug-in to use a unique 'floating' threshold control that follows the dynamic response of your incoming audio signal in real-time. The advantage of this is that the SuprEsser can adapt to the audio source, affecting only the target threshold and frequencies without affecting anything else around it. Easily adjust the offending frequencies whilst leaving the rest of the audio untouched.
At the heart of Oxford SuprEsser is an enhanced version of the compressor module found within the Oxford Dynamic processor. World-renowned for delivering transparent control of peaks, the combination of compressor algorithms and cross-over filters taken from the Oxford EQ make the SuprEsser suitable for both mixing individual instruments and mastering applications.
Employing three unique listening modes, the Oxford SuprEsser lets you listen to the mix, the direct output of the band-pass filter ('Inside') or the output of the band-reject filter ('Outside'). These options ensure that you can hear exactly what's happening to your audio signal, paying close attention to the difference between the before and after processing. Switching between the Inside and Mix modes, you will hear the difference that SuprEsser is applying to your tracks.
Simple and intuitive, the Oxford SuprEsser is extremely quick and easy to adjust parameters to fit your audio source. Once the frequency band has been defined and your threshold level has been set, SuprEsser's internal Auto-Level Tracking will automatically follow the dynamic response of your signal. Applying a relative amount of gain reduction regardless of the input signal level. Perfect for a 'set-and-forget' application, this means that you won't need to automate any threshold levels during any changes throughout your audio track. Perfect for producing vocals, the SuprEsser can be placed on your track and set to a specific level without worrying about excessive de-essing in a built-up section like the chorus.
Coming with a wide range of presets as starting points, you can dive into production straight away. For more advanced users, SuprEsser offers an 'advanced view' to go into extreme detail for more complicated projects or tracks. In its default mode of operation, the Oxford SuprEsser feeds the defined 'Band' signal to the compressor to affect only this narrow band signal. The result is that the compressor reacts only to specific frequency components when they reach a specific threshold, and applies compression only to these specific frequency components, leaving the rest of the spectrum untouched. 'Wide' can also be selected to allow full-band compression reacting to only specific frequencies or any combination of Band and Wide defining 'when the compressor reacts' and 'what it compresses' (narrow or wide/full-band).
Used advanced algorithms inspired by the Oxford Dynamics processor, SuprEsser is an award-winning plug-in that uses mastering-grade Linear Phase Dynamic EQ processes to ensure the most transparent tone possible for your de-essing. Designed not only to treat the sibilance of vocals but SuprEsser's frequency-dependent program ensures that you can suppress anything from the upper whistles of a wind instrument to the low-end boom of a vocal or guitar microphone. All without ever affecting the tonality of nearby frequencies for a natural and transparent response. The result of this precision is that the Oxford SuprEsser doesn't fall into the trap of manipulating a wide frequency range, resulting in a 'lisp' sound that can be so often heard with other de-esser plug-ins.
Detailed visual feedback is employed using a sophisticated FFT display, enabling you to quickly identify the frequencies that will require suppression and the threshold level to set. A red vertical pointer follows the spectrum where the energy is the highest, showing the average level of each peak to aid in helping you quickly make adjustments in the right areas of the frequency range. The threshold level of the adjustable target band features a peak-hold action to hold the highest frequency peaks in place. Once you've found the target area and applied your processing, SuprEsser will display gain reduction in red, giving you a visual representation of any changes made. This incredibly detailed graphical display makes operating a complicated process straightforward. Without cracking a manual, you could get started dragging parameters around, knowing that you're affecting the correct area to get the best sound for your tracks and productions.
