DeEsser is a VST audio plugin for reducing sibilance (harsh "s" and "sh" sounds) in vocal and instrument recordings. It is developed by ikmultimedia and distributed through IK Product Manager. The plugin uses a straightforward interface focused on transparent de-essing without complex parameter tweaking, making it accessible to both mixing engineers and home producers working in DAWs. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionDeEsser ships as a VST plugin component within ikmultimedia's suite, so it is updated through IK Product Manager rather than as a standalone download. To upgrade to the native Apple Silicon build, open IK Product Manager on your Mac, check for available updates in the Products section, and install the latest version of DeEsser through that interface. IK Product Manager will automatically serve you the native build if your Mac is running Apple Silicon. If you have not yet opened IK Product Manager on this Mac, download and run the installer from ikmultimedia's website, then use the application to install or update DeEsser — the native build will be selected by default. Your plugin settings and authorisation will carry over without any manual migration required.
