Inside Sense

Detection

Sense listens for sibilants event by event and marks each one on the scrolling waveform: S, SH, Z, T, CH or K.

Soft and Hard

Two amounts, up to 10 dB each, so a hissy S and a sharp T get the reduction they need.

Spectrum and band

See the voice live and drag the band edges, Pro-DS style. Double-click to go back to the suggested band.

Split or Wide

Split keeps the rest of the voice bright. Wide dips the whole signal for harsh voices.

Audition

Hear only what is being removed, to set it precisely.

Auto

Keeps adapting the detection to the voice while it plays.

Assisted, then manual

ANALYZE
Play 5 seconds of vocal. Sense suggests the band, the threshold and the Soft and Hard amounts.
BAND
Drag the band on the live spectrum to choose exactly which frequencies get reduced.
SPLIT / WIDE
Reduce only the band, or dip the whole voice on each sibilant.
THRESHOLD
Catch more or fewer sibilants. Your settings stay until you analyse again.

Voice types

Natural VocalBright PopRap / Hip-HopPodcast / VoiceGentle Touch

Save your own presets per artist: they keep the voice analysis, the band and every setting.

Questions

Which music software does it work in?

Any macOS host that loads AU or VST3 plugins: Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Studio One, Reaper, Cubase, FL Studio, GarageBand and more. An AAX version for Pro Tools is on the way. Windows is not available yet.

Is there a free trial?

How many computers can I use it on?

Two computers that you own or use. To move your licence, click Deactivate in the plugin’s licence window on the old computer, then activate on the new one.

How do I activate my licence?
