Overview

Sibilance, with organics.

Sibilance de-esses using Organic ReSynthesis, which breaks a voice into its component parts before processing so only the ess and shh elements are reduced. Other high-frequency content is left alone, which conventional de-essers cannot manage, since they attenuate a whole band whether or not the harshness is sibilance. The timbre, duration and resonance of the voice survive intact. Frequency range runs from wide to split-band, and detection suits transients or longer sounds.
