Waves DeBreath - Vocal Breath Removal Plugin | A Time-Saver for Engineers, Instantly Remove Unwanted Breaths

In professional recording production, whether it's a singer's performance or an audiobook narration, breaths are often the culprit that ruins a perfect take. Traditionally, dealing with these breaths requires a lot of time for manual editing and fading, which is extremely inefficient. Now, with Waves DeBreath, all of that is a thing of the past. This intelligent plugin, designed specifically for vocal processing, will revolutionize your workflow.

Waves DeBreath uses an advanced algorithm to accurately identify and separate vocals from breaths. It's not just a simple noise gate; it gives you complete control over the amount of breath reduction—you can choose to remove them completely or just reduce them to maintain a natural feel. For music producers, voice-over artists, and post-production engineers who demand efficiency and high quality, this breath removal tool is undoubtedly an indispensable asset in the post-production workflow, allowing you to easily get rid of annoying breaths and focus on the creative process.
