De-essing with leading technology

Thanks to Sonible's neural networks, pure:deess analyzes your vocal’s sibilance in seconds, creating a ‘voiceprint’ – a unique profile for that voice. It doesn’t just detect “Ess” sounds but also computes target profiles for Z, Sh, Ch, and T phonemes, giving you a more natural, dynamic result.

One dial to smooth out all the rough edges

Pure:deess blends an intuitive interface with powerful processing. Use the main Suppression dial to adjust the de-essing to suit your needs, whether it’s a subtle voice-over or a complex mix. You control how much suppression you need.

Customize and refine sibilant character

Set the Color parameter to Soft, Balanced, or Sharp to define the sibilants' character. Pure:deess goes beyond just gain reduction – it redefines the spectrum for each sibilant sound, with the Shaping parameter adding more detailed spectral processing when dialed up.
