Analog Obsession LOADES

Analog Obsession LOADESAnalog Obsession has released LOADES, a powerful de-esser with a mix feature. The developer says that it not only de-esses your vocals, but also works great for reducing high-frequency harshness in your mix, cymbal tracks and more. There’s a threshold control, adjustable release (1–500 ms) and a button that toggles between band and shelf modes. The plug-in also has input, output and dry/wet mix knobs and a soft button that activates an extra smooth and transparent mode.

LOADES is available for macOS and Windows in VST, VST3 and AU formats.
