Key Features
The iZotope Velvet is an intelligent vocal de-esser plugin for mixing engineers and producers who need smoother, more controlled vocal recordings. Combining transparent de-essing, dynamic tone shaping, and a vocal noise reduction module in a single workflow, Velvet helps you clean up harsh performances quickly while keeping vocals natural and detailed. The Sibilance Learn function automatically detects problematic frequencies and configures a six-band dynamic EQ to reduce harsh consonants with minimal setup.
Independent Lift and Tame controls let you dynamically reshape vocal tone, while eight target profiles provide fast starting points for different vocal styles and mixes. Integrated De-Click processing also removes distracting pops, clicks, and mouth noises that can stand out in exposed or heavily compressed vocals. With Delta monitoring, channel soloing, parallel mix control, and 50 professional presets, Velvet gives you detailed vocal refinement tools without slowing down your session.
Product Ref: 380376
Harsh consonants can quickly make an otherwise balanced vocal difficult to listen to. Velvet simplifies the process with its intelligent Sibilance Learn feature, automatically identifying problematic frequencies and setting up a six-band dynamic EQ tailored to the recording. That means less time hunting for harsh resonances manually and more time focusing on the mix itself. If you want finer control, individual EQ nodes can still be adjusted independently, with scalable processing, selectable filter types, and threshold controls available for detailed tweaks. Solo monitoring for the Sibilance channel also helps you hear exactly what’s being reduced without affecting the rest of the vocal tone.
Velvet’s Tonal section lets you reshape vocal character dynamically instead of relying on static EQ boosts and cuts. Independent Lift and Tame controls react only when needed, helping vocals stay controlled and balanced throughout a performance. Eight target profiles provide different tonal starting points, while adjustable frequency sliders let you decide which areas of the profile should influence the signal most. This makes it easier to add clarity, soften harsh mids, or tighten low-end build-up without overprocessing the recording. Whether you’re mixing spoken word, sung vocals, or layered harmonies, the processing stays transparent and responsive to the performance.
Lip smacks, clicks, pops, and mouth noises can easily pull attention away from a vocal performance. Velvet’s dedicated De-Click module is designed to quickly detect and reduce these distractions with minimal setup. Simply lower the control fader and the plugin automatically repairs detected artefacts while displaying the repair count in real time. This feature is particularly useful when working with podcasts, voiceovers, intimate vocal recordings, or heavily compressed mixes where mouth sounds become more obvious. Instead of manually editing every click, Velvet handles the cleanup efficiently while preserving the natural detail of the performance.
"Velvet is an instant problem solver for vocals! It single-handedly replaced 3 separate plugins on my vocal bus, which saves time and also delay compensation. It’s like a final safety net for dynamics vocals that shift tonally section to section. I love it!" - Dave Cerminara – Producer / Mixer (Father John Misty, Bartees Strange)
"I’ve never liked de-essers-until Velvet. It lets you dial in sibilance without wrecking the tone. Control the bite and body separately. Clean, smooth and actually musical. Game-changer." - Rob Dennis – Grammy-winning engineer (Jelly Roll, Carrie Underwood, Fisk Jubilee Singers)
