EEL:Envelope-based Deesser

eugen2777 · 03-09-2017, 09:11 AM

The script creates volume envelope based on the sibilance and compress it.

==============

==============
How use:
Select the audio-item(or several items).
Set time selection, if you want to process only a specific area.
Click "Activate Envelope" and "Show Envelope" button if need.
"Show Envelope" - toggle show/hide take vol envelope.
"Activate Envelope" - toggle activate/deactivate take vol envelope.

Use the sliders to adjust take volume envelope.

===============
Link(will be updated):
gen_Envelope-based Deesser.eel

Note: Needed SWS - latest version.

===============
How install - it is actual for all eel-scripts(unless otherwise stated):
Open Reaper. Actions>Show Action List. ReaScript: press "New".
Select the folder for scripts(By default - ...\Reaper\Scripts).
Specify the name and extension - .eel(it's mandatory). For Example, MyScript.eel. Click save. You will see a black window.
Copy the text of the script(link in the first post) in this window. Press Ctrl+S. Close the window. Now the script is available in the Action List.
===
In addition, you can use Reapack, but the link to my repository must be added manually

Beautiful !

Whaaat?

It's awesome, man!

Cool! so glad you've done this in EEL.

One suggestion - add a refresh button - so when you are switching items, you can apply the settings to the item. For now adjusting any control makes the envelope, but a button to refresh would be much nicer!

*oh and some sort of preset system (this could be written to either the project and reaper ext state)
I might work on that myself actually, I have some functions already written that could help out.

EEL works incredibly faster in this situation.. I had no choice.

Look at "processing time".

Well, I'll add the refresh-button.

The preset system will be added soon. I also plan to make the Envelope-based gate soon

This script isn't working on different tabbed projects here, it only works on one project no matter which project tab is active.

Trying to find out why and modify it, you might be able to spot it before I do

amagalma · 03-09-2017, 01:30 PM

Looks great! :O

Going to test it!

Luster · 03-09-2017, 01:51 PM

Many many thanks for those envelope based dynamics scripts!
These are very big arguments to show my colleagues why I am using this quirky software called Reaper.

Your font choice for the Deesser looks also way better then the Arial in the compressor script. Looked into the script and saw you already left a comment switch in it.
I would suggest Calibri as default for both and maybe a subtle differentiation in backgroundcoloring for the scripts so the user always is aware which one (compressor/deesser/upcoming gate) he fired ATM.

Again a big thank you! Great work!

Разрыв башки просто

Macc · 03-09-2017, 05:41 PM

I think I love you.

Only request: Make it bandpass-able, and full spectrum. Looks like it only goes to 2k...?

I could find SO MANY uses for this in mastering/post work. For example, uncompressing stuff that has been stupidly compressed, that pumps due to the bass content. Could work very well indeed.

Amazing stuff.

Jae.Thomas · 03-09-2017, 06:59 PM

you fucking legend

radekdolezi · 03-10-2017, 12:22 AM

man – you're awesome! thank you

Janne83 · 03-10-2017, 12:32 AM

Eugen thank you. This is awesome.

Thank you all for your attention. We are waiting for something more interesting in the future, I think ...

I could not get it. I used a lot of different tabs and always the script worked on the current project. This is probably due to global settings.

Luster, ok, I will update the compressor and change the font.

Macc,
Well, I'll add different filters to the env-based compressor(LP,HP,BP).
We can get some latency at low frequencies, but with envelopes it's easy to compensate.
===
One more thought about the compressor (not the DeSesser). We can get a quick and clear attack in the envelope.
This will not significantly affect performance, but it will be useful.
Sorry for my English, there are a few things that I can not explain.
Later I'll try to draw this to make it clearer.

I only just saw this - thank you very much. Subscribing to the thread this time!

musicbynumbers · 04-03-2017, 04:14 PM

Very cool!

Robert Randolph · 04-03-2017, 04:24 PM

Amazing!

Great idea and implementation.

Javier Robledo · 04-05-2017, 07:36 AM

Does it work on Mac ?

It´s tells me unexpected symbol when try to save...

Thanks

eugen2777 · 04-08-2017, 09:29 AM

Yes, it should work. Do not forget that this is EEL-script, set ".eel"-extension.

vanhaze · 04-08-2017, 01:15 PM

This is absolutely awesome, many thanks !!

G-Sun · 09-11-2017, 12:23 AM

How does this script difference from the eel-compressor?

barbaroja · 04-18-2018, 04:02 PM

Awesome

D Rocks · 04-19-2018, 05:37 AM

wow, I have been looking for this kind of DE-Essing method for a while now and cant wait to test it tonight. Thanks so much for the work and sharing for free

How do you get the waveform to show colours like that, I assume according to frequency?

I've noticed a bit of a drawback to this and that is that it deletes existing shapes/automation. I often automate breathes with the volume take envelope and when I use this the edits are gone.

Would it be possible to somehow preserve any points that are not created by this tool?

A workaround would be to do your first automation pass on the track volume envelope. the only downside is that you dont have the live updated waveform as youre editing, but this could be overcome with some thinking.

Чувааак!))))) ТВОЙ КОМПРЕССОР это просто мечта, ничего качественнее, гибче, нагляднее и честнее не существует. я счастлив с ним)) а тут еще и Deess - СПАСИБО ОГРОМНОЕЕЕЕЕЕЕ, ТЫ ОЧЕНЬ КРУТ! ДА ДА YES YES!)))))

Jeffsounds · 08-26-2019, 11:33 AM

Very cool script! Thank you!
