smart:deess

smart:deess is an AI-powered de-esser that goes beyond simple volume reduction. Using a trained neural network, it identifies individual phonemes like S, Z, Sh, Ch, T, and P in real time, processing each sibilant and plosive from start to finish without needing a threshold. The result is a naturally balanced vocal that retains its character. Spectral processing lets you shape and refine harsh sounds with Color controls for soft, balanced, or sharp sibilance, and can even revive dull or lisping esses. It also handles plosives, so one plugin covers both tasks. The content-aware analysis builds a voiceprint of your input and instantly adjusts settings, letting you focus on creative refinement rather than manual correction. Ideal for hobby producers working on vocals, voiceovers, or podcasts in FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic, smart:deess delivers polished, professional results with minimal effort.
