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.
