About
Hestia is a de-esser. It listens above a frequency for the hiss of an s, sh or t and turns it down, only while it lasts.
Split takes the reduction from the band above the frequency alone, leaving the rest untouched; Wide takes it from the whole voice. LISTEN plays only what is being taken, so you can set it by ear, and the screen shows the voice's spectrum with the band it watches (drag the line to move it) and the reduction over the last few seconds.
32 presets for vocals, instruments, mix and master, and fixes.
