This one is really good. Sort of a free alternative to Soothe 2

Au5 made a good video about it

Plugdata?

Edit: Ah, vst3 and clap.

This is cool. Just uploaded a video for it.

I just wish the LP, HP controls a such were at the front. Apart from that, so far so good. Very useful tool to tame (and even isolate) those resonances. And the best part, it's free.

Yeah, the back panel should be at the bottom. The filters should really include readouts for frequencies. And pressing the delta button while using the sidechain function should still play the delta and not the sidechain input. Still can't go wrong for free.

I guess they are inspired by the famous trackspacer and wanted to have a similar look otherwise no need to have those controls hidden behind. Doesn't help with the UX but can't complain since they are giving it for free. You get some and lose some

This is a fun one. I feel like it can be used to much more extremes, as a creative effect, more so than most plugins in this vein.

In the AU5 video, he uses it as a vocoder which sounds surprisingly good.

It's been updated. In/out gain added and tilt EQ and some bug fixes.

This thing is really powerful and fast to use which is a big plus! Thank you to the developer, you rule!

been playing with the update. the tilt EQ addition is useful for biasing detection toward the high-mid harshness zone without touching the signal path.

danilo's point about delta + sidechain is worth raising with the dev. when they don't combine as expected you end up A/B'ing blind.

the back-panel UX is a deliberate call (trackspacer vibes), but frequency readouts for the HP/LP filters up front would cost nothing.

free tool with real detection quality. that's rare.

Wish I could resize this

Looks great - already had the Spectral 'phaser' thingy which is also cool

the resize thing is a real quality-of-life miss. especially when you're using it on a dense mix and need a bit more visual real estate for the spectral display. hopefully something the dev picks up.

been deep in resonance suppression territory myself lately. been building our own resonance suppressor from scratch over the last few years and ANINA has been a useful reference point. the ERB-based approach they're using for detection is smart, it's the difference between a plugin that catches what your ears actually complain about vs. one that just reacts to whatever sticks out in a flat frequency view. glad this one is getting attention.
