I am working with some audio where there are very pronounced "esses" at the end of some of the words. I've seen "de-esser" tools in other audio editors. Can anyone tell me how I can "de-esses" with SF7?

I found that there is a de-esse preset, discussed here: http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=3&MessageID=71482

Suggestion to Sony: add sibilance and de-esse to the help index.

Fishphones has a dandy de-esser as well as an optical type compressor... ( both are freeware) One cavet: they're VST plugs, so your will need a VST -to- DX wrapper.
