With Smooth Sibilance, Tuned Plugins delivers a specialised vocal tool that tackles the very issue that makes many voices sound unpleasant in a mix: sharp S, T and SH sounds. Instead of flattening out the entire high-frequency range, this de-esser plug-in works in a targeted and musical way. The result is clean, prominent vocals that retain their brilliance without hissing or grating on the ear.
Whilst many de-essers solve the problem technically, they often rob the voice of its breath, brilliance and expression in the process. Smooth Sibilance is designed specifically to take the opposite approach. The processing focuses on the problematic frequencies whilst preserving the open character of the recording. This ensures the voice remains clear, intelligible and modern, rather than sounding heavily processed.
This is a real advantage, particularly for pop vocals, rap, podcasts, voice recordings and modern vocal production, because sharp sounds can quickly become distracting, but a dull mix is just as unhelpful.
The integrated smart detection specifically isolates sibilant frequencies, rather than indiscriminately attenuating entire high-frequency ranges. As a result, Smooth Sibilance intervenes precisely where harshness arises, leaving the rest of the voice largely untouched. This ensures a very natural result and often saves several correction steps in everyday use.
Not every voice has sibilance in the same place. That is precisely why Smooth Sibilance offers targeted frequency targeting, allowing you to fine-tune the relevant range exactly. In addition, the reduction level can be adjusted to suit different voices. This means the plug-in works equally well on bright female vocals as well as on darker voices, rap recordings or speech tracks.
Another advantage is the clear visual feedback. Gain reduction and frequency focus are displayed in real time, allowing settings to be adjusted more quickly and confidently. This is particularly helpful in sessions with many vocal tracks, as you don’t have to spend time guessing – you can see straight away where the plug-in is having an effect.
With Threshold, Speed and Ratio, Smooth Sibilance offers enough control options to cleanly adjust everything from subtle smoothing to more pronounced correction. The transitions remain pleasantly smooth, preventing any pumping or unnatural behaviour. This is precisely what makes the plug-in appealing even for more demanding vocals, where a simple one-knob de-esser often proves too coarse.
Input and Output allow you to adjust the signal quickly, whilst Auto Gain helps to keep the loudness stable during editing. This allows you to hear more clearly what has actually been improved, rather than being misled by differences in level. This makes the workflow significantly more reliable and relaxed.
Smooth Sibilance is ideal for producers, mixers, voice-over artists and vocal editors who want to achieve clear, professional vocal results quickly. The plug-in is perfectly suited to vocals, podcasts, voice-overs, rap, streaming and speech editing, and is particularly effective when sibilance becomes distracting but you want to keep the high-frequency range lively.
