Waves Sibilance

De-essing with Organic ReSynthesis technology. 

Sibilance breaks down sound into basic, individual components prior to processing. When Sibilance recognizes unwated “ess” and “shh” vocal sounds, it reduces only their levels without affecting other components—even ones with high frequencies. The result: ultra-precise de-essing.

For vocals, dialogue, voiceover, and podcasting, no other de-esser maintains the original timbre, duration, and resonance of the human voice as well—or as effectively—as Sibilance.

FEATURES

• Organic ReSynthesis keeps brightness and removes harshness
• Retains the vocal’s original tone, even with heavy de-essing
• Variable frequency range for de-essing, from wide to split-band
• Informative graph shows de-essing occurrence and amount
• Variable detection mode for transients or longer ess sounds
• Includes zero-latency version for live performance
