TL;DW: DeHiss tries to suppress background hiss, like a hiss gate.

DeHiss.zip(350k)

Here’s a request: I was asked to put DeHiss out, so while I’m working on newer stuff you can have an up-to-date and VST-ified DeHiss plugin.

This acts like a filtery gate. It tries to apply a lowpass filter to suppress quiet background noise whenever loud bright treble isn’t happening. You can use it in creative ways, but it really was designed to suppress hiss from a cheap USB condenser mic. Sort of an experiment. It’s got a dry/wet now in case that comes in handy. I’m not sure how much else is out there specifically like this, but then I’m not sure how much call there is for it in the first place :)

But thanks to Patreon I’m free to do stuff that is only useful to one person. And there was one person who actually asked for this to come out as VST, so it’s not even an imaginary person! There’ll be other things that come out which are very noncommercial, simply because I can: I don’t have to stick to what will sell. (I do still have some killer ‘take my money!’ grade stuff also coming, that’s new: same deal, if you can then please act like you’d buy perpetual DRM-free license for $50, good for all your computers at once, and add that much yearly to my Patreon. If you can. Whatever you’re comfortable with)

I hope you like DeHiss. But it’s okay if you don’t, because I know there’s a person who specifically needed it, and that’s good enough for me :)
