01Overview

Deres is aimed at producers who need to clean up muddy or harsh frequencies in a mix. Its harmonic processing targets multiple overtones of a chosen frequency rather than a single narrow band, which makes it suited to resonances that a standard EQ would miss. The plugin includes a live spectrum display, a Listen function for isolating problem areas, and factory presets to use as starting points. It is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS.

03In depth

Finding and Reducing Problem Harmonics

Deres uses a Listen button to exaggerate the frequencies you are working on, so resonant peaks are easier to hear. The Find knob sweeps the 1 to 8 kHz range to locate unusual peaks that sound muddy or harsh. Once a peak is found, the Reduce parameter applies the processing, and the Q value controls how wide or narrow the affected band is.

The Octave control reduces the related components of the main frequency, so several harmonics can be treated together. Static mode cuts resonances in a linear way, while dynamic mode engages only when the peak is present.

Compensation and Monitoring

Cutting frequencies can leave a signal sounding thin, so Deres includes compensation controls. The Compensate knob boosts frequencies near those that were reduced to restore brightness. The Excite control adds air and presence after resonance removal. A Mid/Side mode and low cut filtering are also available.

The resizable interface shows a live spectrum at the top, so you can watch the signal change at each stage of the processing chain. AB comparison and copy and paste let you test different settings, and undo and redo buttons revert changes.
