Key Features
The Sonible pure:deess an advanced AI-powered de-esser plugin allowing for automated control and processing of sibilance and plosives in recorded vocal tracks. Sonble pure:dess is built for creators and engineers who want fast, natural-sounding control over harsh sibilants and plosives. Using advanced AI technology, this plugin goes far beyond traditional de-essers. It doesn’t just duck volume, it actively listens to the entire signal, identifies the specific problem phonemes like ‘S’, ‘T’, and ‘P’, and then processes the full shape of each one. That means your de-essing sounds more transparent, less robotic, and doesn’t flatten or dull the vocal performance.
Instead of setting manual thresholds or guessing frequency bands, pure:deess does the heavy lifting for you. It creates a voiceprint from the input and instantly starts managing problem sounds, letting you tweak results as needed rather than correcting errors from scratch. Whether you’re editing dialogue, mixing a podcast, or cleaning up vocals in a song, pure:deess helps you get clean, polished results that sound like the recording was simply better to begin with.
Product Ref: 336428
pure:deess combines phoneme detection with spectral de-essing to treat every vocal nuance with care. It doesn’t rely on simple level detection or fixed frequency bands. Instead, it listens to the actual content of the audio and intelligently identifies harsh consonants like ‘S’, ‘Z’, ‘Ch’, ‘T’, and ‘P’ in real time. Once detected, it processes the full shape of each phoneme from start to finish, giving you a far more natural-sounding result than basic volume reduction ever could. Every type of sound is handled differently, helping preserve the character of the voice while smoothing out distractions.
Many de-essers simply act like automatic volume knobs. But pure:deess goes deeper with spectral shaping that lets you control how the processed signal sounds, all without losing energy or articulation. You can fine-tune the character of the de-essing with simple ‘Color’ controls to find just the right tone, whether you want something soft and subtle or a more defined, sharp result. This means you can get clean vocals without introducing lifelessness, dullness or over-compression unlike in traditional de-essing workflows.
Once you load pure:deess onto a vocal track, it gets to work immediately. The AI scans the signal and creates a unique profile, which it uses to apply targeted de-essing and plosive reduction. There’s no need to manually hunt down problem areas or set up detailed parameters. Instead, you’re free to review the work the plugin has done and adjust it to taste. That makes it ideal for engineers who want great sound with less technical busywork.
"I never thought I’d be excited about a new de-esser plugin, but Sonible have created an absolute monster with smart:deess! It sounds transparent and is an absolute time saver to treat harshness and plosives. I can see myself using this on every mix." - John Nathaniel (Producer, Composer and Mixer)
"This is by far the best de-esser plug-in. Everyone knows what a pain it is sometimes to solve this problem. Especially with German vocals. And there are only a few plug-ins that are reall usable. But smart:deess has raised the bar." - Patrik Majer (Producer, Mixer and Engineer)
"This is one of the most comprehensive and helpful visual aids I have seen in a plug-in. Hats off to Sonible! With smart:deess, I was expecting something at high level but I wasn’t expecting this. This deesser is amazing" - David Gnozzi (Mastering Engineer and Producer)
