Waves Sibilance

Waves Sibilance

The Waves Sibilance breaks down sound into basic, individual components prior to processing. When Sibilance recognizes unwated “ess” and also “shh” vocal sounds, it reduces only their levels without affecting other components even ones with high frequencies. The result is an ultra-precise de-essing.

• Variable frequency range for de-essing from wide to split-band
• Informative graph shows de-essing occurrence and also amount
• Variable detection mode for transients or longer ess sounds
