Virtual Instrument : Scarbee Red Bass - macmusicScarbee today released Red Bass, a sample library made for N.I. Kontakt 2.2.

With the E²Deesser, the detection process is completely independent from the processing, offering unprecedented flexibility in controlling and adjusting the amount of sibilance in your recording. You may combine wide band reduction with narrow band or low pass sibilant reduction, or even reduce a certain frequency range while boosting the sibilants' global volume.
