Description
In the world of audio production, taming sibilance is crucial for achieving professional-sounding vocals and dialogue. Enter the Eiosis e2—an intuitive and versatile de-esser plugin that takes the guesswork out of controlling those pesky high-frequency sounds. Its user-friendly interface features two main controls: the Sensitivity knob, which detects sibilants, and the Amount knob, which sets the level of attenuation. This simplicity is complemented by the plugin's dynamic equalizer, providing you with the power to sculpt sound with precision.
The e2's auto-detection capabilities do most of the heavy lifting, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects of your project. In addition to its core functions, the e2 offers a suite of fine-tuning options, including an Auto feature that dynamically adjusts the frequency response, and a Smooth control that introduces natural saturation to tame any remaining harshness. This ensures a polished and professional sound every time.
Visual learners will appreciate the time-frequency display that provides real-time feedback on the de-essing process, making it easy to identify and address problem frequencies. For those who like to dig deeper, the plugin's flexible monitoring options allow you to isolate and listen to either the voiced signal or sibilants, giving you full control over the editing process.
Key Features:
- Easy-to-use interface with two main parameters for quick results
- Dynamic equalizer for wideband, split-band, and bandpass processing
- Real-time time-frequency display for visual feedback
- Flexible monitoring for isolating voiced signal and sibilance
- Auto feature for dynamic frequency response adjustment
- Smooth control for natural-sounding saturation

This article on the recording of the "Barking" album describes the band's then-current studio setup. Of processing singer Karl Hyde's vocals, Rick Smith explains, "In terms of compression, Eiosis’ E2Deesser is one of the very few software de-essers that actually does the trick."
Used on Bocelli's vocals for "Fall On You", as mentioned by sound engineer Justin Cortelyou in this February 2019 Sound on Sound interview.
"There are five vocal tracks because Andrea and Matteo sang some doubles, and also when we were in Nashville, some production decisions were taken about where to use Andrea's and where to use Matteo's vocals. Matteo re-sang the first chorus, which is the third track. We used slightly different EQ than on the previous take. The vocal chains we used on the two of them are different from any other vocal chain I have done! Andrea's vocal chain starts with the Massenburg Designworks EQ, with just a low cut and adding some high end. Next is the Eiosis e2 de-esser, cutting around 6kHz; the UAD Fairchild 670, not doing very much, only compressing in some hot spots; the Manley Massive Passive EQ boosting some high end; and the Maag EQ2, doing a sub low cut and adding some more air."
