S, T, and Z sounds isolated with precision. Reduce harshness without dulling the vocal.
IcePick
An event-based de-esser that finds sibilance, hard consonants, and breaths and works through each one the way you would by hand. Clean first pass. Every event still yours to touch.

Pulled from our Instagram reels, names left out on purpose.
Ohhhh my god, I clip gain all my sibilants… this feels like a dream.
I needed this for 20 years.
I’ve been wanting this plugin to exist for years now. So happy now that it does!

Three detection modes
Each artifact type gets its own detector. Fix one thing without touching the others.
Hard Consonants
Every P, B, and T caught individually. Tame the crack without losing punch.
Breath
Inhales and exhales detected automatically. You decide how much stays.
Tame Peaks
Apply context-aware reduction in just one click, the way a seasoned engineer would by hand. Every edit is still yours to make.
Swap Mode
Don’t like that breath or “S”? Swap it out! IcePick lets you instantly audition matching events in context.
Formant Mode
Shape character. Formant Mode goes beyond traditional de-essing by targeting & shifting only formants of harsh frequencies.

IcePick is designed to work in every DAW. During development we've focused our testing on Pro Tools, Logic Pro, and Ableton Live, so other hosts might throw up a quirk here and there. In ARA hosts such as Cubase, Studio One and REAPER, IcePick gets the whole vocal straight away with no capture pass, and your edits stay with the clip. Pro Tools cannot do that yet, because AAX ARA needs approval from Avid and we are waiting on it. Capture works there as normal. If something doesn't feel right, let us know. Every report helps us make IcePick better for everyone.
