RESO is a dynamic resonance suppressor effect plugin by Mastering The Mix that identifies frequencies with excess energy and applies targeted reduction to tame harshness in a mix.
RESO is an effects plugin from Mastering The Mix built to locate and reduce resonances in audio. When resonant peaks build up, a mix can sound harsh and mask other elements. Broad cuts across the whole mix can dull its character, so RESO works frequency by frequency, measuring energy relative to the rest of the mix and suggesting how much reduction is needed. It is available as a VST3, AU and AAX plugin for Windows and macOS.
The developer describes RESO as a way to pinpoint which frequencies carry a build-up of energy compared with the whole mix. The visual display shows disproportionately high peaks, and the Frequency Sweep helps you hear which resonances sound unpleasant.
The Calculate Targets feature locates the most resonant frequencies and proposes targets for each. Reduction is dynamic, so the cuts act when a resonance flares up rather than constantly thinning the sound.
RESO can be applied to any channel in a mix, including vocals, synths, percussion, busses and a mastering chain. Adding a node is done by clicking anywhere on the interface. Position the node at the peak level where you want suppression to begin, then scroll to adjust its Q.
The filters are designed for mastering-grade transparency, with automatic Q optimization intended to keep results musical.

RESO is used to find and reduce resonances, the buildups of energy at specific frequencies that can make a mix sound harsh. It can be applied to vocals, synths, percussion, busses or a mastering chain.
RESO is available in VST3, AU and AAX formats. It runs on Windows 10 or higher and macOS 10.15 or higher, in 64-bit only, with Apple Silicon native support on Mac.
You need a 64-bit AU, VST3 or AAX host. AAX is compatible with Pro Tools 11 and later only. If you access RESO through a Rent to Own plan or Beatport Studio membership, it runs through the Beatport Access portal and requires an internet connection every 30 days to validate the license.
