Sonible's new de-esser, smart:deess, is a game-changer. It is the first de-esser to use AI-powered phoneme detection to identify and reduce sibilants and plosives in a natural-sounding way.
Smart:deess works by detecting nine different types of phonemes in real time and adapting its spectral processing to each one. This allows it to target the specific frequencies that are causing harshness and sibilance, without affecting the overall tone or timbre of the voice.
Another advantage of smart:deess is that it does not require any manual threshold setting. The neural network automatically detects the level of sibilance and applies the appropriate amount of reduction. This makes it very easy to use, even for beginners.
Overall, smart:deess is a significant improvement over traditional de-essers. It is more natural-sounding, easier to use, and more effective at reducing sibilance and plosives. I highly recommend it to anyone who works with vocals.
Here are some of the benefits of using smart:deess:
- More natural-sounding results
- Easier to use than traditional de-essers
- More effective at reducing sibilance and plosives
- Reduces the need for manual EQ and compression
- Can be used on a variety of vocal sources, including lead vocals, backing vocals, and spoken word
If you are looking for the best possible de-esser, I highly recommend checking out smart:deess. It is a truly game-changing plugin.
