XILS-LAB XILS DeeS is a de-esser plug-in designed to quickly reduce or eliminate the excessive prominence of sibilant consonants in a voice recording, while preserving the voice's unique character. It provides musicians and post-production engineers with an intuitive tool to clean and restore vocals for music production, voice-overs, podcast, or audio-for-video applications, and more.
XILS DeeS' architecture splits the incoming voice signal into two, independent Voice-only and Sibilants-only channels. This allows you to find the "right" spot for the plosives, and gives you control over the speed at which the sibilants are processed. To prevent over- or under-compression of the signal and preserve the liveliness of the voice, sibilant detection is independent from the input level. Each channel has its own EQ and solo button.
