Velvet

Velvet by iZotope is a smart de-esser that smooths harsh vocals without dulling tone. Its Sibilance channel uses a 6-band dynamic EQ to split sibilant and tonal material, so you can tame hiss transparently. Hit Learn and Velvet automatically finds problem frequencies and sets up the EQ nodes for you. Beyond de-essing, Velvet shapes vocal character with independent Lift and Tame knobs, 8 target profiles, and frequency sliders that let you mirror only the parts of the profile you want. A single De-Click fader removes mouth sounds, pops, and clicks, with a repair counter showing progress. You also get 50 pro presets, channel soloing, a global Delta button for A/B comparison, and a mix fader for parallel processing. It suits hobby producers working on vocals in FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic who want faster, cleaner results.
