DMG Audio Essense v1.05 WiN / OSX

Essence is the most powerful and transparent De-Esser in the world. It's much more than just a vocal de-esser; it's a flexible sub-band processor that can reach in and invisibly control any element in a mix. For the first time in audio software history, Essence provides the power to de-ess a full mix with all of the adaptability and subtlety of hardware.
