Antares Announces Vocal De-Esser


Wednesday Antares Audio Technologies, creators of Auto-Tune, the GRAMMY®-award winning software for vocal production, announced the immediate release of Vocal De-Esser.

Vocal De-Esser is an innovation in low-latency vocal processing, incorporating artificial intelligence and a custom-trained model that uses machine learning to detect and control sibilance in the human voice. This specialized training allows it to remove undesirable “Ess” sounds in real-time without compromising the vocal characteristics or tone, resulting in a smoother and more pleasant listening experience.

The Vocal De-Esser features a straightforward and user-friendly interface that allows for quick and easy operation. It includes two specific Sibilant Controls for managing (S, Sh, Z) and (T, Ch, K) vocal sounds, a Solo button for monitoring sibilance alone, a Link button for connecting the two sibilant controls, and an Assist button for activating the AI function.

Vocal De-Esser Key Features:

  • Real-time AI Vocal De-Essing
  • Custom AI model trained on the human voice
  • Extremely simple and easy to use GUI
  • Specific controls for taming soft (S, Sh, Z) and hard (T, Ch, K) sibilant vocal sounds
  • Low Latency Processing

Pricing and Availability. Vocal De-Esser is available now and is free for Auto-Tune Unlimited subscribers [which is $24.99/month or $174.99/year]. De-Esser with a perpetual license is $99 and includes one free month of Auto-TUne Unlimited. Find out more at the Antares Audio Technology website.

  1. AI for De-Essing now…what an excellent use of new specialized CPU intensive technology for a relatively simple process, that has already been performed effectively for over 50 years using hardware and traditional software …never met an “ess” that good ole’ Waves De-esser couldnt sort out in seconds, (one of the first plugins ever released….)
