apulSoft have released SplitZ, available at the intro price of $49.00, increasing to $59.00 after the promotion. The offer ends November 22nd.
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. 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.
splitS was developed in close collaboration with Swiss mixer Thomas “Mister T.” Gloor.
Features include:
- Advanced sibilance detection using spectral brightness, level, and pitch.
- Splitting the signal into two full range components: sibilance and non-sibilance, allowing for precise editing directly on the audio track.
- 100% signal integrity if no gain change is applied.
- Scrolling waveform display shows splitting and level changes in real time.
- SoundFlow scripts package available on the SoundFlow store to automate the use of splitS in Pro Tools on macOS.
