RX 7 De-ess
RX 7 De-ess is an iZotope audio plugin (AudioUnit format) for macOS that reduces harsh sibilance in vocal recordings. It is a spectral de-esser that targets the frequency range of sibilant consonants (s, z, sh sounds) without affecting the rest of the vocal or instrument tone. The plugin runs inside digital audio workstations (DAWs) and audio editing software that support AU (AudioUnit) plug-ins, such as Logic Pro, GarageBand, Audacity, and various other macOS audio applications. It is part of iZotope's RX 7 product line.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionRX 7 De-ess is an audio plugin, not a standalone application, so it cannot be updated separately. To get a native Apple Silicon version of this plugin, you need to update iZotope RX 7 through iZotope's Product Portal installer. iZotope has shipped native Apple Silicon builds of RX 7 and its included plugins since version 7.10 (released in late 2022), so downloading the current version through the iZotope Product Portal will automatically deliver the native AU build. After installing or updating RX 7, the De-ess plugin will be available to your DAWs in its native form. Rescan your plugin folder in Logic Pro, GarageBand, or whichever DAW you use if the plugin does not appear automatically after the update.
