iZotope Velvet Torrent
iZotope Velvet is an innovative plugin that redefines how producers and audio engineers approach vocal editing. Part of iZotope’s Catalyst series, Velvet stands out for its intelligent approach to sibilance and tone processing, allowing precise and transparent control over vocal elements. With an intuitive interface and advanced tools, this plugin promises to turn raw recordings into polished, professional vocals.
Intelligent Sibilance Processing
One of Velvet’s main features is its ability to separate sibilance from vocal tone. Unlike traditional de-essers, which can compromise the overall voice quality when reducing sibilance, Velvet uses a machine learning system to identify and treat only the problematic frequencies. This ensures a more natural and balanced sound without sacrificing vocal clarity and presence.
Dynamic Tone Shaping
In addition to handling sibilance, Velvet offers tools for dynamic tone shaping. With independent “Lift” and “Tame” controls, users can adaptively adjust vocal tone, ensuring each recording reaches an ideal sonic profile. This feature is especially useful for producers who want to preserve the artist’s vocal identity while enhancing their presence in the mix.
Removal of Unwanted Sounds
Clicks, pops, and other unwanted noises can compromise the quality of a vocal recording. Velvet includes an intuitive “De-Click” feature that automatically identifies and eliminates these sonic artifacts. With just one fader adjustment, users can remove distractions and keep the voice clean and professional.
