ICEPICK

Manual de-essing. Now at modern speeds.

Every sibilant, plosive, and breath is its own event — fix only what needs fixing. Built for engineers who've stopped trusting traditional de-essers.

Launch price $49 $79 · macOS · VST3 / AU / AAX · 14-day free trial.

IcePick plugin interface showing waveform with detected sibilant events

TWO WAYS TO WORK

IcePick Waveform View showing full audio timeline with detected events

Waveform View

Full audio overview with every event marked inline. Zoom in, drag boundaries, and sculpt reduction right where you hear it.

IcePick Events View showing detected sibilance events side by side

Events View

Dead space removed, every event side by side. Expand, loop, adjust, next. The fastest way to review a vocal track.

THREE DETECTION MODES

Each artifact type gets its own detector with independent sensitivity and reduction. Fix sibilance without touching breaths, or tame plosives while leaving everything else alone.

IcePick detecting sibilance events

Sibilance

S, T, and Z sounds isolated with precision. Reduce harshness without dulling the vocal.

IcePick detecting hard consonant events

Hard Consonants

Plosives and transient clicks caught individually. Tame the crack without losing punch.

IcePick detecting breath events

Breath

Inhales and exhales detected automatically. Reduce or remove — your call.

BEYOND DE-ESSING

Tame Peaks

Automatically level the sharpest peaks in each detection. One click to balance an entire track without losing dynamics.
