AUv3 Compatible Vocal Enhancer
Description (

De-Esser is an AUv3 Compatible plugin for your favourite DAW such as Cubasis, Auria, AUM, Meteor, BM3 (does not work as a standalone app). This is actually a trio of effects all rolled into a single package which are ideally suited but not limited to voice recordings (De-Esser, a Vocal Doubler and a Noise Gate). This De-Esser is a great tool for removing sibilance from your vocals. Sibilance is the harsh over emphasising of phonetics such as 'ss', 'sh', 'ch', 'th' etc. which tend to be made worse during the recording process. This plugin has two modes of operation, 'standard' and 'multi-band' which can be used to effectively remove this kind of problem. The standard mode emulates the ducking of a volume control just like mixing engineers used to do in the good old days, but in this case uses a compressor driven by a filtered band of the input signal that contains the problematic frequencies. This is a common and effective method which has been tried and tested for many years. The multi-band mode uses a similar filtering mechanism to isolate the effected frequency band and applies a compressor to just that range in isolation. This method gives much more pleasing and natural results as it retains the overall volume level and only effects the specified frequency range. We also included a Vocal Doubler which simulates a multi-track vocal recording. It uses sophisticated techniques that eliminates the phase cancellation issues associated with layering vocals in this way. You have complete control over delay time, levels and stereo field placement. Finally this package incorporates a Noise Gate, to remove unwanted background noise from your recording. Fully configurable threshold, attack, release and dB reduction settings are available. A visual frequency display helps you quickly find and isolate the effected frequency ranges which can also be turned off to reduce CPU load. 4 different visual modes are available to help visualise issues. A siblance filter preview button lets you listen to the problematic frequencies in isolation and a limiter is available to make headroom for the vocal doubler. This is a great addition to our AUv3 plugin range which is heavily biassed towards recording of vocals.}

I have the vocal bundle and have used the De-esser component to clean up some recordings produced in the late 90’s. I’m very happy with results. 🫡👍🎶🙏

This developer is impossible to get a hold of, and they have not shown any indication of plans to update some of their paywalled products, rendering them prone to obsolescence. I would recommend not purchasing from them, as it appears that all of your purchases will become useless and obsoleted once other app developers and Apple update their own products.

To be honest, in theory what this app does is fantastic. The playback when I apply this De-easer gives me everything I want from it and it’s extremely intuitive to use, and then on top of that it even gives you additional tools aside from the base De-esser so you can fit more plugins into your track. It’s a ton of really great ideas! The issue is that if you ever dare close your song file, any pre-sets or parameters you’ve set will be undone by the time you re-open your app. I’ve actually been using this for a little over a year now and never wrote a review because it was such a glaring issue that I’d have expected a fix to already be on the way, but it seems to have slipped under the radar, so hopefully this review will bring it to someone’s attention. Any exports I make with songs I’ve applied this tool to may as well have not had it on at all, which is a real shame because it means at some point when another De-esser option is made, it will likely obsolete this one entirely.

The only issue I am having currently, is that for some reason, now the app won’t run on GarageBand IOS. It says that the app “isn’t downloaded on my computer” and I can’t use it until it is. Is this a bug?? Or do I have to literally sync this app with an Apple computer to run it on my phone? (iPhone 8+)

Sibilance it can help attenuate, and it definitely hits the spot there. Okay so if like me your vocals actually were recorded slow and easy and had a load of ‘shhh’ anyway, this will not fix that the best, but nothing could, that needs manually cutting or re-recording I think. It’s by using this in fact, I realised it was the audio source style of the vocals, not so much a glitch in the processing or over-emphasis of the sibilant bits. I have other 4pockets plug-ins and they are all quality, so if I use another it’s got to be really exceptional in some way. You won’t go wrong using these ones, but I have a tip for anyone finding things don’t load - press and hold the button that gets you the ‘slide to off’, then press and hold the ‘home’ button until you get kicked out of your ipad or iphone, then just get back in and a lot of memory debris is cleared out, allowing Garageband etc to work where otherwise you have trouble loading plug-ins etc. In older iOS, it was even better, you didn’t even get kicked out to re-enter the device (not restart), but iOS 13.6 has changed it slightly. Still seems to work - also, goes without saying, don’t have other apps running while using video or DAW stuff like GB. I only have ‘files’ open for obvious reasons (exporting/saving output of stereo pair mix and master files). I wouldn’t chance anything beyond that open simultaneously on my ipad pro 2. Your miles will vary. Good app, don’t know of another De-esser that works thith well. Sorry. Everyone makes that joke.

I got the bundle of the 3. The problem I’m having is that they don’t work at all on any of the work I have already! So Of course I did everything from re downloading the plug ins and turned my phone off and back on and nothing. So I tested it one last thing. I recorded a test track just a few words and it worked like that! Can somebody please help me? Very frustrated. Thank you-Ana
