DeSibilizer is a specialized de-esser plugin designed to reduce sibilant sounds in vocal and speech recordings. It focuses on detecting longer sibilant passages rather than just the strongest peaks, allowing for a more natural and smooth reduction of harsh high-frequency sounds. This approach helps maintain the clarity and intelligibility of vocals without introducing unwanted artifacts.

The plugin offers intuitive controls for selecting the frequency range where de-essing is applied, giving users precise control over the specific sibilant tones they want to target. Users can adjust the de-essing behavior through two key parameters: detection sensitivity and detection threshold, with options for both fixed and adaptive sensitivity. These features enable effective management of sibilance across different vocal styles and recording conditions.

DeSibilizer ensures minimal sound coloration, preserving the original tonal quality of the recording. It also maintains the natural groove of the vocal performance by keeping the initial transient of sibilant sounds intact by default. Additional features include a lookahead function to reduce entire sibilant sounds more smoothly and a compensation boost that synchronizes gain with the reduction for balanced output levels.
