Suave

De-esser plugin · v1.0

Suave is the de-esser we always wanted on our own vocals. So we built it.

Designed to tame harsh S, T and SH sounds with the smoothness and musicality of analog hardware, Suave removes unwanted harshness without introducing the lisping, dullness or pumping commonly associated with digital de-essing.

The result is effortlessly smooth, rounded vocals with an open, refined top end. Consonants retain their clarity, presence and natural character, while the harshness simply disappears.

But Suave is more than just a corrective tool. It imparts a subtle sonic character of its own, exclusively on the sibilant frequencies, adding an unmistakable vibe to the material it is used on. The rest of the vocal remains completely unaffected, preserving its original tone, presence and character.

Not just a de-esser. A different way of shaping the sound.

  1. 01Sound

    Behaves like hardware

    Suave reacts to sibilance like the analog de-essers in big studios: smooth and natural, so the vocal never sounds processed.

  2. 02Clarity

    Smooth action

    It only takes out the harshness. Air, presence and diction stay where they are, so you can push the top end of a vocal without it biting.
