Wavesfactory releases Re-Esser

Re-Esser reimagines what a de-esser can be — it's the new evolution of vocal control.

It separates sibilance from tonal, letting you shape vocals and dialogue

with a precision and creativity no de-esser has ever offered.

Beyond the de-esser

Re-Esser is the next generation of de-essing. By intelligently separating sibilance from the tonal elements of your audio, it lets you process each layer independently. You gain surgical control to tame harshness while preserving — or even enhancing — the sparkle and detail that make vocals shine.

It also does the simple things better. Re-Esser can do what the best de-essers do in a fraction of the time — just turn down the sibilance level with a single control. No thresholds, no tweaking, no guesswork. And when you’re ready to go further, it unlocks a world of possibilities that no traditional de-esser could ever offer.

A World of Possibilities

Re-Esser isn’t limited to basic de-essing — though it excels at that — it’s a versatile powerhouse that opens creative doors you never knew existed. It transforms a routine corrective process into a canvas for sonic innovation, thanks to the 16 built-in effects.

‣ Compress sibilance without touching the tone.

‣ Add reverb only to the tonal layer.

‣ Shift tonal pitch while keeping sibilance natural.

‣ Pitch shift the sibilance to complete re-shape the character of the sound.

‣ Restore over-de-essed recordings.

‣ Boost top-end without reintroducing harshness.

‣ Saturate vocals without sacrificing intelligibility.

‣ Sculpt sibilance with EQ exactly how you want it.

‣ Create dreamy, characterful textures with modulation and ambience.

Once you separate the signal, you’ll start seeing creative opportunities you never thought possible.

Use your favorite plugins

Thanks to its powerful grouping function, Re-Esser can synchronize sibilance detection across multiple instances in your DAW. That means you can split the tonal and sibilant parts of a voice onto separate tracks — perfectly aligned so their sum is always identical to the original. Once separated, you’re free to use any plug-ins you like on each part independently, unlocking creative possibilities far beyond Re-Esser’s built-in effects.

Perfect for Music and Post

Because it’s so tuned for the voice, Re-Esser works brilliantly on sung vocals. It tames sibilance without dulling the emotion, so the top end stays open and alive.

It’s just as powerful in post. Dialogue mixers can keep speech intelligible and natural, without nasty whistling S sounds or lisp-like artefacts.
