An Elegant Solution For Vocal Sibilance

apulSoft, the Swiss plugin manufacturer best known for the drum trigger plugin apTrigga3, has announced the release of splitS, which they describe as an elegant solution for vocal sibilance. Created in close collaboration with Swiss mixer Thomas "Mister T." Gloor, it is designed to help manage sibilance in vocal recordings, providing a straightforward solution for producers and audio engineers. Here's the details direct from the company...

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 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 while leaving the signal absolutely intact if no volume change is applied. No compression, no EQ, no crossover.

Key features:

• Advanced Sibilance Detection: Uses brightness, level, and pitch to accurately detect sibilance.
• Signal Splitting: Splits the signal into two full range components: sibilance and non- sibilance, allowing for precise editing directly on the audio track.
• Linear Gain Control: Provides gain control over both components, enabling fine-tuned adjustments.
• Signal Integrity: Preserves 100% signal integrity if no gain change is applied.
• Waveform Display: Features a scrolling waveform display that shows splitting and level changes in real-time.
• Supported plugin formats: AAX/AudioUnits/VST3 64bit on macOS and Windows.
• Free Trial: 10-day demo to explore the plugin's capabilities.
• Affordable Pricing: Available for $59, with an introductory price of $49 (until Nov 22nd, 2024), splitS is an accessible option for anyone looking to improve their vocal recordings.
