What DeBreath does
The plugin separates inhales from spoken words by applying an individual breath energy threshold, so breaths can be identified and reduced without manual editing of each sound. Dual displays show the breath path and the voice path, and an inhale reduction slider sets how much of each breath is removed. When breaths are removed, Room Tone can fill the resulting silence so the gap does not sound empty. Breath profiles can be matched to optimize the automatic settings for removing inhales completely.
Key features
- Breath energy thresholds. Each recording can be given its own breath energy threshold, which determines which sounds are classed as inhales.
- Inhale reduction slider. A single slider sets the amount of reduction applied to detected inhales.
- Room Tone fill. When Room Tone is enabled, silence left by removed breaths is filled with room tone.
- Crossfade control. Fade-in and fade-out times on the breath and voice paths can be set between 0.1 ms and 200 ms.
- Dual path monitoring. Voice-only and breath-only signals can be monitored separately to check the result.
Compatibility
DeBreath is available as VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, with Windows 10 as the minimum OS.
