Acon DeFilter is a mixing and mastering tool to help eliminate tonal imbalances, resonances, comb filtering and standing waves from your audio files. Helping to create a balanced and professional sound, DeFilter scans and listens to your audio to search for static frequencies and lets you apply a counteractive frequency filter curve to balance the responsibilities of your tracks. Perfect for everything from bass, vocals, guitar amps and more, you can reduce the unwanted effects of instruments recorded in poor locations or with less desirable recording equipment. Coming equipped with a wide range of built-in presets for a variety of instruments and mixing goals, you can dive into creating better and more balanced mixes and masters automatically.


Traditionally, an EQ plug-in will be used to carve out the unwanted frequencies in a mix or individual track, but with DeFilter you can let the plug-in listen to your track and apply an accurate automatic compensation. Whilst coming with a variety of pre-made filters, DeFilter allows you to import your own, enabling you to EQ one sound source to another to imprint the exact same sonic signature within your mix. Ideal for anything from vocal recording chains, guitar amplifier tones or even the balance of a full mix.

The secret weapon to smooth tracks

When mixing and mastering audio, you might receive tracks which have been poorly recorded, or recorded in a poorly treated room with unwanted resonances and room nodes. A solution might be to reach for your trusty EQ plug-in to carve out all of the resonances, harsh frequencies or even comb filtering effects but there is a better solution. DeFilter is a streamlined, automated mixing and mastering tool to reduce resonant peaks and dips in the spectrum and even eliminate comb filtering and standing waves from pre-recorded tracks. It scans your audio and looks for frequencies that remain static over time and creates a curve to neutralize them.

Powered by an intelligent listening algorithm, DeFilter reads the frequency content of your audio file and allows you to use either the onboard profiles or your own previously captured filter profiles to create smooth and balanced tracks effortlessly. Ideal for virtually any type of instrument you might have in your mix from guitars, vocals, drums piano or even entire mixes, DeFilter applies filter curves to neutralize unwanted resonances whilst maintaining the core sound of your file.

With only a few controls, DeFilter allows you to get better-sounding tracks should re-tracking be out of the question. A smooth interface presents a visual representation of your frequency spectrum on the chosen material and a second response curve highlights the required adjustments to smooth out any unwanted resonances and. Using only a Signal Level Threshold control to set the level above the noise floor and the Filter Length dial, you have full control over DeFilter. Setting the Filter Length at a lower level will give your curve a broad shape allowing for global adjustments whereas setting this high will create a more detailed filter. When your filter has been set, you can target specific frequency regions using the Emphasis curve, ideal for when working with frequency-dependent instruments such as a bass guitar to leave the mid-range and treble untouched whilst focusing only on the low-end.

Capture your favourite tones

Many mixing and mastering engineers will have their preferred sounds from equipment such as guitar amplifiers or even vocal recording chains to create their sonic signature. When receiving tracks to mix from clients, they might not contain the required frequency shape to suit your style of mixing. DeFilter allows you to imprint the sonic signature from one source onto another using a captured profile. Perfect for anything from guitar amplifiers to full mixes, you can capture the profile of your favourite tones before imprinting them onto other tracks with ease.

Features

  • Even out tonal imbalances or reduce the resonant peaks and dips in the frequency spectrum
  • Eliminate issues such as comb filtering or standing waves from untreated rooms
  • EQ matching functionality allows you to print the tone from one file to another including guitar amps or even full mixes
  • Straightforward interface with few controls allows you quickly get up and running with smoothing your track
  • Target specific regions in the frequency spectrum with Emphasis curve
  • Real-time frequency analysis and spectrum analyser
  • Let DeFilter listen to your audio and then choose one of the pre-defined EQ target curves and let the plug-in do the rest
  • Scans your audio and looks for frequencies that remain static over time and creates a curve to neutralize them
  • Set the threshold level above any noise level to ensure that unwanted interference doesn't tamper with your profile
  • Filter Length parameter allows you to create smooth and broad profiles or tight and detailed filters depending on the length from 1 to 20 milliseconds
  • Ideal for removing problem frequency areas or for shaping entire instruments and mixes
  • Automatically estimates correction filter that evens out the frequency spectrum
  • Save filter profiles to use in future sessions
