What Feedback Hunter does
The plugin analyzes the signal from a microphone feeding the monitor mix and sets notch filters on the frequencies where feedback forms, so gain can be raised further before the system starts to howl. The developer describes the process as taking as little as 30 seconds, which removes the need to ring out speakers by hand. Affected frequency ranges can be customized and the target headroom can be adjusted, and the developer states it works in noisy environments. Feedback Hunter is available as VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, with Windows 10 as the minimum.
Key features
- Adjustable frequency ranges. The affected frequency ranges can be customized, so the processing can be limited to the bands where feedback occurs in a particular room.
- Adaptable target headroom. A target headroom setting controls how much margin is kept below the point of feedback.
- Fast setup. The analysis process is described by the developer as taking as little as 30 seconds, replacing a manual ring-out.
- Notch-based approach. Unlike X-FDBK, which the developer describes as producing single notch bands during a live show, Feedback Hunter is presented as a process for handling several frequencies at once.
Compatibility
Feedback Hunter comes as VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, with Windows 10 as the minimum version.
