Sculpt sparkling highs and control brittle HF transients with a lightweight, zero-latency tool made for adding air without harshness.
Description
If you want to brighten a mix without making it brittle, Air Shelf gives you focused control over the extreme top end. Dial in extra sheen with the Boost control and rein in sudden high-frequency peaks with the Tame control — a fast reactive processor that targets only the uppermost band of the spectrum. It’s designed to sit on vocals, cymbals, hi-hats and master buses to add clarity without blowing out the mix.
Key features:
- Boost — a gentle high-shelf circuit centered up near 20 kHz to add air and presence without sounding artificial.
- Tame — a hybrid transient/dynamic control that reacts quickly to HF spikes, independent of overall input level, so it smooths harshness without dulling detail.
- Operates without added delay, making it safe to use in tracking, mixing or mastering chains.
- Cross-platform compatibility for Windows, macOS and Linux builds.
Use Air Shelf when you need to lift the upper octave on a vocal, give cymbals more shimmer, or calm glinty transients on a full mix. It’s a light-touch, purpose-built tool for producers and engineers who want controlled brilliance rather than broadband EQ boosts.
