iZotope Velvet is a smarter de-esser for smoother vocals. Soften harshness without touching tone using the Sibilance channel’s fully featured 6-band dynamic EQ. Say goodbye to guesswork in one click, instantly identifying sibilant frequencies and setting up EQ nodes with the Learn button. Adaptively shape vocal tone by independently lifting and taming your vocals towards one of 8 target profiles, then transparently remove distracting mouth sounds, pops, and clicks with a single fader. Packed with features to help you dial in your sound, Velvet makes it simple to refine, reshape, and revive vocals from raw to flawless.

INTELLIGENT DE-ESSING

Velvet splits sibilant and tonal material for separate processing, letting you transparently tackle those harsh, hissy sounds. Just hit Learn and watch Velvet automatically identify sibilant frequencies, setting up the 6-band dynamic EQ for you. And if you need any tweaks, easily adjust or add individual EQ nodes, scale with one knob, change filter types, and kiss those hisses goodbye.

Clicks, pops, and other mouth sounds stealing the spotlight? Don’t worry, De-Click knows where they are and how to make them disappear. Just turn down the fader, watch the repair counter go up, and let your vocals take center stage as they were meant to sound.
