Aboh!

Noisebud Aboh!

Aboh! is a dynamic tool aimed at solving problems caused by heavy compression and limiting. Instead of working like a traditional compressor with ratios, Aboh! simply lets you set independent gain controls for audio above and below a threshold.

The main use case is mastering tracks that have been over-compressed. In breakdowns or quieter sections, compressors and limiters stop working, which often causes the level to jump up unnaturally – the so-called "reverse pumping" effect. Aboh! compensates these jumps automatically, while leaving the loud and dense sections untouched.

Aboh! can also be sidechained, for example to a kick drum in EDM. This allows it to react with millisecond precision, bringing levels back into place in ways that detailed automation rarely achieves.

Key Features

• Separate gain control above and below a threshold.
• Maintains natural dynamics in loud passages while correcting level jumps in quiet parts.
• Sidechain input for creative control and EDM-style precision.
• Curve control for shaping the transition between above/below threshold.
• Delta monitoring to hear exactly what is being adjusted.

New in v1.10

• Curve control redesigned as a round knob for faster, more intuitive handling.
• Sidechain spectrum markers show filter points even without input signal.
• Sidechain auto-adjust makes it easier to set the threshold by normalizing the input level.
• GUI refinements: Delta and Bypass moved slightly to the right, Sidechain and Preview to the left.

Formats

• Mac – VST3 & AU.
• Windows – VST3.
