I'm wondering if there are any standalone software programs that competently de-ess a wav file. I don't want to spend the money for a hardware de-esser when I rarely use need it.

I haven't been happy with the embedded software de-essers I've tried in SoundBooth and Sound Forge, but it is probably fair to chalk that up to stupid user error.

Ok, here's the deal. I have been recording quite successfully on a Yamaha AW1600 SIAB system, mainly punk rock songs, for drums i have been using Alesis SR16 and complimenting that with Alesis Performance Pad.

I'm excited :P

I'm about to insert a compressor/limiter into my audio chain. Here is my current configuration choices:

U87/Senn416/RE20/Senn441->Fearn VT1/Daking MicPreOne->FireFace400->quad-core intel computer

I presume the compressor/limiter comes after the preamp, but that's not the real question.

I am new to home recording and just got ahold of Pro Tools 7. I was told that I am also going to need an audio interface (like an mbox) for the program to work. Is there any restrictions to which audio interfaces I can use? What are the good ones that won't break my bank account?

Is there any other hardware that is ESSENTIAL to recording?

I just wanted to get peoples opinions on what recording software is a good choice. I want to record metal and i want to be able to add effects. Plus, I don't really want to spend over $350. Thanks
