It is there it is there… Oh my goodness… Thank you Steve… Any advice on the best settings to use when editing?
Hooray 
Well done. So pleased to hear.
Not from me, I’ve never used the effect, but Paul (who created the plug-in) wrote some documentation of sorts here: Updated De-Clicker and new De-esser for speech
I’m soooooo relieved… Thank you again so much!
Hi. What’s the newest plug in for de essing? I downloaded a file from this thread called “DeEsser.ny” but it won’t open.
See here for how to install Nyquist plug-in in Audacity 2.3.2 on Windows: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_effect_generator_and_analyzer_plug_ins_on_windows.html#nyquist_install
If you don’t have Audacity 2.3.2, you can download it via the Audacity website: Audacity ® | Download for Windows
Thanks, Steve. I run the portable vesrion. Last time I installed a plug in file, I did it by copying it directly into portable. But that was a VST plug in.
This seems a bit buggy on 2.4.1. The progress dialog no longer shows… Any ideas why this may be?
Are you running the effect in a Macro?
Yes I am! It shows a progress meter using the normal non-macro method… This used to work fine on the older version, any idea how this can be fixed?
It’s due to a bug in Audacity. I’m hoping it will be fixed in the next release. The bug affects all Nyquist effects when they run in a macro, but most effects are a lot quicker than the De-Clicker / De-Esser so it’s not noticeable unless processing very long tracks. The problem was first spotted with the De-Clicker shortly before Audacity 2.4.1 was released but it was decided that it was not serious enough to postpone the release, especially as 2.4.2 is scheduled to be a very short release cycle.
Ok thanks! Ill keep an eye out for the new release 
These are amazing! I’ve been playing with the settings, and really appreciate them for the whistles and clicks that get buried in some of my words. I’ll still Zoom In and Delete or Repair most of my noises, but for the ones that are difficult to find and isolate, these Effects work so well! Thank you!
There’s a couple of tricks to the DeEssing business.
Analyze > Plot Spectrum. Pick as high a Size as the system will allow. 16000 is good.
Low pitch tones on the left, high pitch tones on the right.
That blue haystack on the right is Essing.
Normal voices don’t do that. That’s the drilling teeth sound. The hump goes from roughly 4000Hz to 10000Hz, so those are the numbers I put in the DeEsser. Accuracy isn’t that important.
And poof. No more blue haystack and no more essing.
This works particularly well after you audiobook master because then the volume of the performance is fixed and you don’t have to go chasing after it with the DeEsser Threshold setting. Last I used it, I picked -30.

Hey … I’m excited to try this De-esser you’re all are talking about … but I can’t find it anywhere!
I have Audacity 2.3.2 and 2.4.2.
I’ve looked in all the drop downs.
I’ve been to the Installing Nyquist plug-ins page here:
https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_effect_generator_and_analyzer_plug_ins_on_windows.html
And the ‘‘List of available plug-ins’’ here:
https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Download_Nyquist_Plug-ins#list
I can’t find ‘‘De-esser’’ anywhere.
What am I missing?
Thanks …
It is attached to the bottom of the first post of this thread …
Holy cow. I had to sign up just to say THANK YOU. You have saved me so much time with this. Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH.
The De-Esser doesn’t open directly from the link provided. What’s the name of the website,maybe I can downloaded from there. Thank you very much, Paul!!!
This is the website.
The download links are near the bottom of this post: Updated De-Clicker and new De-esser for speech

Behold … the Desibilator, (attached).
This ‘desibilator’ plugin is Paul Licameli’s ‘DeEsser.NY’ just with different default-settings, different slider-ranges, & has tips added to the UI.
Previously the default frequency-range was not wide enough: it stopped at 8kHz, (now 13kHz).
Previously the “number of bands” slider went up to 1000 
, when <5 bands is generally sufficient, and >50 will freeze/crash Audcaity.
So this variant of Paul-L’s de-esser plugin is more likely to give first-time-users what they want, quickly, without crashing Audacity.

How to use the “Debu Labels (short)” or “Debug Labels (long)” feature?
Is there any label format that is assumed in that functionality?
Is there a way to generate those labels automatically?
Is there any user guide that explains details?
