Release Notes:
- Adaptive subspace tracking with slow eigenvector adaptation for stable, non-jittery behavior.
- Multi-resolution analysis (short / medium / long windows) to respond to both transients and sustained consonants.
- Orthogonal energy gating that focuses reduction where energy diverges from the learned voiced subspace.
- Psychoacoustic harmonic weighting de-emphasizes reduction pressure in voiced/harmonic regions.
- Real-time vowel classification (A / E / I / O / U aware) to keep vowel identity intact.
- Kalman-smoothed formant tracking for buttery-stable formant trajectories (F1/F2/F3).
- Formant preservation locking that protects vowel peaks explicitly while still controlling harsh sibilance.
Note:
For users new to CLAP plugins, they can sometimes look like folders on macOS, but the name of the folder has ".clap" in it like a file extension. It's perfectly normal.
Note:
The zip files contain both CLAP and VST3 plugins.
Note for macOS users:
macOS Gatekeeper blocks the binary because it has no code signature. Locally-built binaries are trusted automatically; externally built ones are flagged as "from the internet".
-
To fix this problem after unzipping run the following command:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine [path of the Nebula DeEsser.clap or Nebula DeEssr.vst3 file] -
After that you can copy it to either /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP or /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3 (if you want to install it for all users) or ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/ or ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/ (if you want to install it for only the current user)
