sonible takes a step forward in de-essing and plosive removal technology with the release of its latest smart series effect plugin.
smart:deess delivers more natural results thanks to the artificial intelligence powering detection and spectral processing, shaping the respective phonemes rather than just ‘turning them down’.
smart:deess tackles both sibilance and plosives at once, making it an essential tool for solving the two most common problems in vocal recordings. Thanks to its AI-powered processing, the plugin has only to be loaded on a track for it to start fixing a vocal recording in a way that’s tailored precisely to the source audio’s characteristics. smart:deess also provides a wide range of options for customizing its shaping strength and character.
