Hi all,
Thanks for the feedback regarding the de-esser. We are aware of a bug which can cause this effect to malfunction when loaded into even-numbered effect slots (2,4,6,. We are already working towards resolving this issue for a release that will be along shortly.
Regarding your measurements Marco, these are correct. The chosen de-esser frequency represents the lower limit of the ess-region, as is common in many de-essers. For this reason, moving the frequency lower will result in increased gain reduction due to roll-off (as you observe). The `listen’ function can be useful here for picking the optimal frequency. Performance at 3kHz is limited by the lower range of the selection filter, and at 8kHz by the upper limit of the ess-band.
Many thanks,
Matt
