What pure:deess does
The plugin analyses the incoming signal and locates sibilant sounds automatically, so the processing targets only the sibilant parts of a vocal rather than the whole spectrum. The developer describes the detection as AI-powered, and the target spectrum is computed for the particular voice being processed, so each sibilant is pushed toward that spectral profile.
Three main parameters are exposed: Suppression, Color and Shaping. Suppression is set with a large central dial that controls how much processing is applied. The developer notes that at low Suppression only the louder sibilants are reduced, and turning it up tames further material. Color selects the target character with three settings, Soft, Neutral and Sharp, and Shaping adjusts the intensity of the spectral processing, with higher values giving a more consistent sound and lower values keeping the result more natural. Versions for VST3, VST2, AU and AAX are listed for Windows and macOS, with an iLok-free trial available.
Key features
- Automatic sibilant detection. The plugin detects and processes sibilant sounds such as s and sh automatically, balancing the vocal without manual band selection.
- Suppression control. A large central dial sets how much sibilance is reduced, from subtle control up to complete taming of the sibilant range.
- Color selection. Soft, Neutral and Sharp set the target character of the processed sibilants. Soft softens sibilant elements considerably, Neutral keeps the original character and corrects only harsh resonances, and Sharp keeps presence and intelligibility while reducing the harshest material.
- Spectral shaping. The Shaping parameter adjusts the intensity of the spectral processing and moves sibilants toward the selected target. Higher values give a stronger, more consistent sound, while lower values keep the result more natural.
- Target spectrum per voice. The target spectrum is computed for the particular voice, and individual sibilant sounds are processed toward it, which can also revive dull sibilants and increase intelligibility.
- Three-control layout. The interface is limited to three controls, which keeps the plugin usable for quick results without a complex parameter set.
- Repack and crack builds. Repack, crack and keygen versions of the plugin circulate as .rar and .iso files, and the x64 crack and macOS crack builds are the forms most often searched.
