Waves Sibilance - Perpetual License

Waves Sibilance is a de-esser plug-in from Waves Audio that reduces harsh S, SH and T sounds in vocals and spoken word while leaving the rest of the voice untouched. It is aimed at music producers, mixing engineers, podcasters and live sound engineers who want clean, natural vocals without the lisping effect of a traditional de-esser. The purchase is an activation code for the plug-in: it is registered on your Waves account, and the software is then installed and activated through the Waves Central application.

This product is a perpetual license key for Waves Sibilance: it does not expire and can be used on 1 device running macOS and Windows. The key is delivered by email together with the activation instructions.

Sibilance is usually placed on a lead vocal, a backing vocal group or a voice-over track, often after a compressor or EQ that has made the high frequencies more prominent. You set the threshold until only the hissing consonants are caught, check what is being removed with the monitor function and adjust the range to decide how strong the reduction is.

Key Features:

• Organic ReSynthesis: The Waves technology identifies each sibilant consonant and lowers only that part of the sound, instead of turning down the whole signal.
• Threshold and range: The central Threshold control sets when processing starts, while Range limits the maximum reduction so the voice keeps its natural brightness.
• Detection and mode: The Detection control adapts the plug-in to different voices, and the Mode control moves between wide-band and split-band processing.
• Monitor and visual display: A waveform display highlights the reduced sibilants in real time, and the Monitor button lets you listen only to the removed sound.
• Zero-latency component: A zero-latency version without lookahead is included for live sound, streaming and recording sessions where delay is not acceptable.
