Pro-DS is a specialized dynamics tool for sibilance management rather than a general-purpose equalizer. Its official presentation includes use on single vocal tracks and mixed material. Evaluate it on the problematic consonants in context, and avoid interpreting a quieter output as proof that the underlying vocal balance has improved.

  • Sibilance-focused de-essing
