Noisebud Aboh!Noisebud Aboh! Aboh! is a dynamic tool aimed at solving problems caused by heavy compression and limiting. Instead of working like a traditional compressor with ratios, Aboh! simply lets you set independent gain controls for audio above and below a threshold. The main use case is mastering tracks that have been over-compressed. In breakdowns or quieter sections, compressors and limiters stop working, which often causes the level to jump up unnaturally – the so-called "reverse pumping" effect. Aboh! compensates these jumps automatically, while leaving the loud and dense sections untouched. Aboh! can also be sidechained, for example to a kick drum in EDM. This allows it to react with millisecond precision, bringing levels back into place in ways that detailed automation rarely achieves. Key Features Separate gain control above and below a threshold. Maintains natural dynamics in loud passages while correcting level jumps in quiet parts. Sidechain input for creative control and EDM-style precision. Curve control for shaping the transition between above/below threshold. Delta monitoring to hear exactly what is being adjusted. New in v1.10 Curve control redesigned as a round knob for faster, more intuitive handling. Sidechain spectrum markers show filter points even without input signal. Sidechain auto-adjust makes it easier to set the threshold by normalizing the input level. GUI refinements: Delta and Bypass moved slightly to the right, Sidechain and Preview to the left. Formats Mac – VST3 & AU. Windows – VST3. Price and Availability Available via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/137463498 Read More
