A DeEsser 2 plugin improves options for reducing sibilance (hissing)

Hey Roger. A DeEsser is indeed to reduce sibilance, but “hissing” is not really an accurate description of what most audio engineers are trying to reduce when they use a DeEsser. It is more like the sharp, percussive-like sound that sometimes exists at the start of an “s” sound by a vocalist. It can be piercing and distracting so they try to dial in the very specific EQ range causing the offense and reduce it. A DeEsser is essentially a shortcut to accomplish a specific EQ and compression maneuver. Peace.

One thing I don't get: Why the upgraded speakers in a "Pro" computer? I guess for graphics persons that play Spotify in the background as they work? I can't imagine a professional video editor using computer speakers in their professional work, and audio engineers...well, they wouldn't be professional if they mixed on computer speakers! (I know, some would use them as secondary or more likely tertiary alt speakers to check a mix, but not as their main near fields...and as that type of tool, you still would not need them to be "upgraded.")
