You might need help breathing after you see the price!

Been waiting on Waves in this zone, late move.

I love the looks of it, but I'll never be able to justify the price.

Saw and heard it at AES. Its good but not as versatile as Melodyne in how you canshape pitches and note phrases. Works better with the host though, remembers everything unlike Auto-shmoon...

Wow a breath fixer... the level of lazyness and lack of vocal talent needed just shot through the roof! Its only a matter of time b4 programs like vocaloid and animitronix put humans out of business.. lol

If you're working with a previously recorded track, de-breath could be quite handy. And sometimes a vox track sounds great with a sparse backing, but if you end up with a busy mix featuring some heavy voal compression, breathing artifacts can become troublesome.
Too expensive for my personal use right now though.
The gumpf also says that it should be a "useful timesaving tool for engineers working with voice-over and spoken-word recordings." - In this context I could see this becoming a standard tool. A 'de-paper russle' setting would also be handy here!

I don't get this breath thingie. 
I thought that vocal artefacts are something in vogue, just listen to Ville Valo of HIM 
Anyway, I can't remember situation of too much breath sounds in track, but I can remember asking from vocalist to relax, sing more lively, and actualy produce more breath. Maybe rarely trim out first breath before the verse or cut here and there, but it is a 20 sec operation, not something I would need a plugin for.
A lot of music we hear nova days have intentionaly overcompressed vocals, in some cases I was actually able to hear toungue of singer make little noises in mouth in between words during more quiet passages.

this is what happens when a tech company gets bloated. they think they can sell you a silly idea for a weekly paycheck. they share that motto, a fool and his money are soon parted.

It depends on what that weekly paycheck is. If you are in the lucrative voiceover market and editing breaths takes you hours a day at $150/hour, then the price does not seem silly at all.. If you make records and pain over every detail anyhow, then breaths are nothing to worry about and not worth the cash on a plugin. Different users out there.

A tune and anti-breath-plug ... jeezzzz .. yeah, that's what we need ..
What's about a very, very, very, very good tube emulation? Or compressor's that can emulate even thousand's of euros/bucks-hardware-units? Something like the focusrite liquid channel does?
Or what's about a very good tape-simulation? Something like SPL Machine Head? I've heard, Magneto was a compromise between cpu-usage and quality. So, that was yesterday. Today, a pc has more power ...
Nothing about that. Instead of this a boring "anti-breath" and a "tune"-plug.
