Sibalance

Sibalance is a free vocal de-esser and sibilance shaper. Sibalance listens for sibilance-like energy and applies reduction only when needed.

The useful question in a de-esser is not only "how much reduction?", but "am I removing the right thing?" Sibalance keeps that question visible: delta monitoring lets you hear what is being removed, while focus and smoothing modes keep the workflow fast:

• Detects sibilance-like vocal energy automatically.
• Controls sibilance gain without flattening the whole top end.
• Delta monitoring lets you hear exactly what is being removed.
• Focus modes: Auto, Low, Natural, and Bright.
• Smoothing modes: Tight, Normal, and Soft.
• Includes oscilloscope feedback, output volume, and bypass.
