Techivation has announced the release of a new entry in the company’s AI-powered series. Designed to simplify the task of addressing harshness and sibilance in audio tracks, AI-De-Esser automatically adapts to the incoming signal, offering fast and effective results with minimal user input.

This new plugin aims to streamline the audio mixing and mastering process, providing users with a smoother, more refined sound in seconds.

“AI-De-Esser is a precise and transparent de-esser plug-in that excels at reducing sibilance and harshness on vocals as well as other types of audio material. Behind its streamlined user interface lies a comprehensive and highly adaptive audio engine, with machine learning tailoring its performance to suit your track.

AI-De-Esser continuously analyses the incoming audio to focus on the part of the spectrum where the high frequency energy is concentrated. The plug-in then assesses how much the targeted range resembles sibilance and whether the energy in that range is excessive, applying spectral compression accordingly. The result is clean and transparent sibilance suppression with minimal impact on the original tone and dynamics. Its level-independent operation guarantees excellent performance even on highly dynamic material. And to top it off, the optional “Air” boost ensures your track never sounds dull or loses presence, even at the highest de-essing levels.”

AI-De-Esser for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is available for an introductory price of $64 USD until October 15th, 2024 (regular $129 USD). Loyalty and upgrade pricing for owners of selected plugins starts from $45 USD.
