Add the smoothest high end you've ever heard without a hint of harshness. A dynamic high-frequency processor that breathes life into your mix with just two knobs.
A free high-frequency processor from Slate Digital that adds 'air' and presence to audio. Two bands — one for upper presence, one for the very top air frequencies. It's not just an EQ boost though, it uses dynamic processing to add brightness without harshness.
Really effective at making things sound more open and sparkly. The dynamic approach means it responds to the input level, so it doesn't just blindly boost — it adds more when the signal needs it and backs off when it doesn't. Simple two-knob interface.
Good for adding clarity and presence to dialogue recordings or making ambient sounds feel more open and detailed. The dynamic processing prevents harshness, which is useful when processing assets that might play back at various volumes in a game engine.
