A narrow upper-mid resonance turns presence into pain.
MODULE 01 / VOCAL RESTORATION
RESCUE
VOCAL RESONANCE SUPPRESSION
Can RESCUE
save this vocal?
When the room, microphone, or recording leaves a vocal harsh, boxy, or trapped in a can, RESCUE finds the resonances fighting the performance—and gives you the controls to push back.

THE PROBLEM
THE TAKE IS RIGHT.
THE RECORDING ISN’T.
Room and microphone buildup makes the vocal feel closed-in.
Multiple resonances flatten the sense of space and realism.
Dynamic control follows the problem instead of permanently carving the life out of the vocal.
MONITOR THE DECISION
BEFORE → RESCUE
→ DELTA → AFTER
See the untreated signal and its moving spectral energy.
Six editable nodes track and suppress selected resonance zones.
Solo the removed content and protect the parts of the performance that belong.
Compare output behavior and level against the original recording.
ENGINEER CONTROL
INTELLIGENCE
YOU CAN EDIT.
Six editable filter nodes
Target the resonances RESCUE finds, then shape the frequency, width, and response with direct visual control.
Real-time spectral analysis
Watch problem energy move through the spectrum instead of making decisions from a frozen snapshot.
Aggressive when necessary
A broad suppression range is available for vocals that need more than a polite correction.
Delta monitoring
Hear the material being removed so you can distinguish cleanup from damage.
External sidechain
Guide detection from an external signal when the session calls for a more deliberate relationship.
Two processing modes
Work quickly in Real Time, then move to High Quality when the final result matters most.

SYSTEM NOTES
FAQ
01What is RESCUE designed to fix?+
RESCUE is built for vocal resonances that read as harsh, boxy, canned, or room-compromised—especially recordings made in untreated spaces or with inexpensive microphones.
02Does RESCUE replace EQ?+
No. It is a dynamic, frequency-selective problem-solving tool. Traditional EQ, compression, and intentional tone shaping still have their place in the chain.
03Can I hear only what RESCUE removes?+
Yes. Delta monitoring is part of the current product design so you can audition the suppressed material directly.
04Which formats are planned first?+
The first release target is Audio Units and VST3 on macOS. Additional platforms or formats have not been announced.
05Is RESCUE available to buy now?+
Not yet. RESCUE remains in active development. The launch list is the current path for release updates and trial or purchase availability.
