splitS

While de-essers and dynamic EQs can be very useful, they are rarely sufficient for effectively managing sibilance in vocal recordings.

Producers and engineers alike commonly find themselves spending long hours manually editing these problematic sounds. While often unavoidable, this method is very time-consuming and diverts attention from what really matters.

splitS is here to give you your time back!

splitS is not a de-esser, but rather a straightforward mixer that allows you to balance sibilances, and separate a vocal track between sibilance and non-sibilance in a split of a second. The signal is left absolutely intact if no volume change is applied, as the cut between sibilance and non-sibilance is made on the full range signal.

No compression, no EQ, no crossover.

Since v1.1, the S-Range feature can detect the peak level of each S event, letting you set a maximum volume — or exclude soft events from the S channel.

splitS was developed in close collaboration with Swiss mixer Thomas "Mister T." Gloor.
