Sssh
De-Essing made easy
Say goodbye to those harsh sibilances! Sssh... is an easy to use and efficient de-esser, that gets the job done quickly and accurately. With only three main controls, you'll get to a perfectly de-essed vocal faster than ever.
Simple, but EFFECTIVE
Because De-Essing shouldn't feel like rocket science.
Sibilance is annoying. Fixing it shouldn’t be. Sssh gets straight to the point: accurate, transparent de-essing in seconds.
One KNOB to rule them all
You choose what you want to tame.
Not every vocal is the same. Sometimes it’s an “S”. Sometimes it’s a “Ch”. Or anything in between. With Sssh, you control what you target with a single knob.
No surprises
Only listen to what the plugin attacks.
With the help of delta mode you can isolate what the plugin is doing. Use it to make sure that you reduce only sibilance and nothing else.
1 device, 2 flavours
Go as heavy as you like.
By default, Sssh keeps the de-essing transparent and the vocal upfront. If that's not enough, you can engage Heavy Mode to tame even the harshest S's.
As easy as 1-2-3
Follow the simple 3-step workflow.
1. Increase "How often?" and "How much?" both to 100 and activate the "S-Only" mode. 2. Turn the "How often?" knob to the left until you only hear the S sounds. Then turn of the "S-Only" mode. 3. Turn the "How much?" knob to the left until you're happy with the result.
