Audified has released the next installment in its ToneKnob series of effects, designed to be simple to use. A smart de-esser for both male and female vocals, Sssniper is a handy effect that reduces harsh sibilance.
Those annoying hissy “S” sounds are a common issue when recording vocals — whether singing or spoken word — on a microphone. Sibilance is a difficult beast to tame. It can sneak through and ruin your mix even with proper mic technique. On the flip side, you overdo it, and the singer or speaker suddenly sounds muffled and lispy.
That’s exactly why we built Sssniper! It hunts down and snipes out all the nasty S-sounds for you — and you can easily control how much reduction you want with a simple twist of the knob.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX), ToneKnob Sssniper is on sale for the intro price of $19 USD at Plugin Boutique and from the Audified store until August 13th, 2025 (regular $29 USD).
The ToneKnob Ultimate Bundle with all 6 plugins in the series is on sale for $49 USD during the promotion (regular $69 USD).
