Waves intros Sibilance de-esser resynthesis plugin

Waves today introduced the Sibilance vocal de-esser plugin. Unlike most de-essers, which act like narrow-band compressors, Sibilance uses Organic ReSynthesis spectral filters to identify undesirable bursts of sibilant energy, then completely separates the nuances of sibilance from the vocal signal, leaving the rest of the signal untouched. Once applied, Sibilance’s unique method of separating sibilant parts from the raw vocal signal allows for what would otherwise be extreme processing on the vocal track, such as aggressive EQing to drastically brighten a vocal.

Waves Sibilance is available now, as part of a Black Friday event, for free. It requires macOS 10.11.6 or later and an AU, VST, AAX, or AudioSuite plugin host.
