Sibilance Black Friday deal: Waves' de-esser plugin is 62% off at $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026, and it targets "ess" and "shh" sounds in vocals, dialogue, voiceover and podcasts.
Waves says Sibilance splits sound into basic, individual components before it processes anything. When it spots an unwanted "ess" or "shh", it pulls down only the level of those components.
The maker says that leaves the other components alone, even the ones up in the high frequencies.
Waves calls the approach Organic ReSynthesis. According to the maker, it keeps the brightness of a vocal while removing harshness, and the original tone survives even with heavy de-essing.
Waves also says no other de-esser keeps the timbre, duration and resonance of the human voice as well.
On Mac, Sibilance runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15 as VST, AU and AAX.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later and comes as VST and AAX.
