This audio effect is an advanced de-esser with an intuitive user interface, and works both as an AUv3 audio plugin, and as a standalone app. The uniqueness of Esspresso is that the detection frequency range isn’t coupled with the suppressors frequency range. That means you can listen to a specific frequency and compress another one, which is often what you’ll want from a professional de-esser. With a fast and accurate frequency response view, you will easily get full control over annoying S-sounds that ruin the mix. Noteworthy features: • Works both as a standalone app and as an Audio Unit Extension (AUv3) with compliant hosts • Detector sensitivity gain • Visual reduction RMS • Visual detector RMS • Suppressor can work as allpass, bandpass and highpass • Load / Save presets ## Key features - Standalone app and AUv3 plugin - Independent detection and suppression frequencies - Visual frequency response view - Detector sensitivity gain - Visual reduction and detector RMS - Load/save presets ## Recent user reviews (10 of 15) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/esspresso/id1037999669/reviews.md ### 1/5 — 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 *2026-01-15* Practically unusable due to its tiny size, please increase the interface make it a normal AUV3 size Please… it does nothing wow just crashes ### 2/5 — 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 *2024-10-15* Practically unusable due to its tiny size, please increase the interface make it a normal AUV3 size Please ### 3/5 — You Have to be Kidding *2023-10-16* Seriously?
