The aXDeesser is a de-essing plugin that can be used on any AmbiX-format (SN3D/ACN) Ambisonic signal. It allows the signal within a particular band to be compressed. This is normally used to remove sibilance from voices recorded or encoded Ambisonically, though it can be used creatively on sub-mixes containing multiple sound sources.
The aXDeeser is ideal for use on signals recorded with an Ambisonic microphone. The a1Deesser will allow you to de-ess recordings from microphones such as the TetraMic or Sennheiser AMBEO VR mic. The a3Deesser will allow you to de-ess recordings from the OctoMic or Zylia microphone.
The aXDeesser also allows you to select the direction you want to focus on for activating the de-essing effect, so the compression will only be activated when signals picked up by the virtual mic are above the threshold. Sounds from other directions will not contribute to activation of the de-esser. Note, however, that the de-esser will be applied to all sources in the sound field when it is activated.
The aXDeesser has the following parameters:
The virtual microphone, used to generate the signal that drives the de-esser, has the following parameters:
Note that the maximum directivity depends on the order of the incoming signal, not the maximum order of the plugin. A first-order Ambisonic input signal will have a maximum of first-order directivity/focus, even if the plugin is capable of seventh order.
Input: AmbiX (SN3D/ACN) format Ambisonics.
Output: AmbiX (SN3D/ACN) format Ambisonics.
Plugin Formats:
Available Versions: Available with 3 levels of spatial resolution, with different maximum Ambisonic orders:
Seventh order Ambisonics requires a massive 64 channels for each track. Not all DAWs can handle this so please download the demo version to test if your DAW and workflow is compatible with this product – you might only need the first-order or third-order version.
