INTRODUCING VOCAL DE-ESSER BY AUTO-TUNE

Artificial Intelligence, Genuine Confidence

Producers and mixing engineers know that even great vocal recordings can be ruined by excessive sibilance, and removing it can often have a negative impact on the clarity of your track. With the AI Assist feature, Vocal De-Esser by Auto-Tune analyzes your vocal tracks and suggests the ideal settings for taming soft (S, Sh, Z) and hard (T, Ch, K) sibilants. These can be further adjusted to taste via the uniquely tuned control knobs, resulting in ultimate effectiveness in reigning in these harsh vocal sounds.

In addition to singing, Vocal De-Esser excels at cleaning up spoken dialog for podcasts, recorded interviews, film dialog, and more. Since Vocal De-Esser runs in real-time you can even apply it to a live audio feed.

Key Features:

  • Real-time vocal de-essing powered by AI Assist
  • Custom AI model trained on the human singing voice
  • Low latency Processing
  • Unique controls to tame soft (S, Sh, Z) and hard (T, Ch, K) sibilants
