Product Detail
The BT De - esser DS - 2S is a top - notch stereo de - esser with vintage controls and sound. It's specifically designed to soften the harshness of certain vocal sounds, especially 'ess' sounds. But it's also great for controlling other sibilant vocal sounds like 't','sh', or 'f'. Working like a frequency - specific compressor, the DS2S is essentially a compressor driven by hi - pass/band - pass filters. When the level of high frequencies exceeds the threshold, it reduces them. You get Threshold and Frequency sliders, and a Listen selector switch to hear just the frequencies being de - essed. This is the perfect tool to remove unwanted sizzle from your vocal tracks. Features include Threshold and Variable Range, Internal Side Chain High and Low Pass Filters with Listen key, HPF and BPF modes, full automation for all parameters, and an easy - to - use vintage interface with a gain reduction VU Meter. System requirements are MacOS 10.8.5 Mountain Lion - 12 Monterey (Intel only), Windows 7 - 11, an Intel i3 CPU or better, 4GB RAM or more, a host DAW with 32/64 - bit support, and authorization for up to 3 computers. Plugin formats are AAX Native, AU, RTAS, VST2.
Using the Nomad Factory Blue Tubes DS - 2S is quite simple. First, load it into your supported DAW. When you start working on a vocal track, adjust the Threshold slider to set the level at which the de - esser kicks in. The Frequency slider helps you target the specific high frequencies you want to control. Use the Listen selector switch to focus on just the frequencies that will be affected. If you want to fine - tune the filtering, you can switch between HPF and BPF modes. Remember, it's authorized for up to 3 computers, so make sure not to exceed that limit. For system compatibility, ensure your computer meets the requirements like having at least an Intel i3 CPU and 4GB of RAM. As for maintenance, keep your software and DAW up - to - date to ensure smooth operation. There's no special hardware maintenance needed, just enjoy using this great de - esser to improve your vocal tracks.
