Deres is $10 today 7/4

*Deres, from WA

So its kinda like Soothe, but much more affordable?

John, you've successfully sold me the last two WA plugins. You should get a commission and TDR should compensate the lot of y'all for talking up Arbiter 😆

The whole thing is manual. The main benefits are workflow and resource usage plus an exciter and compensation control to make up for what's been taken out.

Does this do anything Arbiter doesn’t?

Cheers,

Yes. This is a sweep that helps identify resonances…you can do it with EQ, but this makes it really simple.

Because they do two different things really and I didn’t know the difference at the time. Deres is to get rid of the resonant frequency problems above 1khz. Vocal Shaper can “demud” resonant frequency below like 500hz.

Deres obviously only does one resonance at a time - which I think stops me from overdoing things. Like with MTM Reso - I start hearing that “effected” sound like I do with too much Soothe. Just sounds computery. But 2-3 well placed Deres and it seems to really improve the sound.

I watched a couple of videos on this and I can’t figure out how it’s different from just using, say, Pro-Q3 to sweep for resonances. Except with DeRes you’re limited to one band?

Or, people have already noted you can just do it with EQ, but that DeRes is easier. I’m wondering how?

Yes, it's nothing more than EQ. The "listen" feature is just a +24 dB bell boost with narrow bandwidth. Then, to suppress the resonance it becomes a cut.

"Compensate" changes the shape of the bell slightly, and "excite" adds a pultec-like high shelf. The "octave" feature creates two more cuts in the next two octaves relative to the cut.

Like he said…just makes it easier.

I can do this with Logic's EQ. Maybe it's a pinch easier, but Sooth is a dynamic plug-in which is a different story because that is more like a real time multi-band compressor.
