First Look: SSL's New "DeEss"-Keeps sibilance in check with a unique "relative threshold" control 

Great synopsis Collins! Let us know if you find a good workaround with stock tools. But often, I find a custom built tool enhances workflow a lot, even when more complex workarounds are theoretically possible. Thanks for the great comment. -Justin

@@SonicScoop Well as you can imagine haha, after doing this for years and investing so much money, you start getting a lot more judicious in spending haha I think the function of Ableton provides a visual workaround (effect racks & macros) but yes, I agree with you. A stylized tool is very convenient (and potentially worth it!) After thinking about this (in my honest opinion) the only thing I can think of that has an adaptive threshold & suppression response would be Soothe2 by Oek Sound. Configure the response curve of Soothe & there you go. Follow that up with a multi-band exciter/limiter for the top end and you would get pretty close to the results. Possibly better? Idk (Something like Tupe actually could provide pleasing results using the emphasis filter!) Ha! I might actually consider making this into an Ableton effects rack! The most attractive components to what SSL made tho (imo) is the adaptive threshold & compression, plus the brightness compensation. But let me know what you think!

The "redeem" button is in the top right of the iLok app. You might have to be in "available licenses" tab to see it. I think it has a check mark or three dots on said button. A window will pop up with the same number of characters slots as your code. Hope that helps!

@@danymalsound i need to demo it for first time,then If I like it I will buy!!!It doesn't seem to have iLok cloud,like other plugins I have demoed

I believe Danny has some good pointers here that should work for demos and trials. The process should be the same. If you continue to have trouble, please contact customer support for SSL or iLok. Here’s SSL’s: www.solidstatelogic.com/support-page/contact
