Antares Audio, the developer of Auto-Tune, has released a real-time vocal de-essing plugin called 'Vocal De-Esser'.
Vocal De-Esser utilizes AI and machine learning models to detect and control sibilance in human voices in real-time. Through specialized training, it removes unwanted "ess" sounds while preserving the vocal tone and timbre, resulting in a smooth and pleasant vocal sound.
The simple interface with two knobs allows anyone to easily control the de-esser. Smooth sibilance (S, Sh, Z) and harsh sibilance (T, Ch, K) can be controlled separately. It also provides a solo button to monitor only the sibilance, a link button to connect the two sibilance controls, and an assist button to activate the AI functionality.
Utilizing an AI model specialized for human voices, it provides natural processing results with low latency, making it suitable for live performances and streaming.
The permanent license for Vocal De-Esser costs $99, and it's provided for free to Auto-Tune Unlimited subscribers at $24.99 per month.
