De-breath Plugins

Sometimes a podcast participant’s breaths (or breathing sound in general) will be so loud and prominent that you want to reduce them, especially when using a good amount of compression.

So, how to reduce/suppress those breath sounds?

Well, you could reduce the volume of every single breath MANUALLY! Ugh. Or you could use a de-breath plugin.

Here are two de-breath plugins that are good:

• iZotope RX Breath Control
• Waves DeBreath

In my experience you have to be very careful when dialing in the proper settings for your use case because if the settings aren’t correct it will miss some breaths or reduce other sounds in addition to breaths.

Do you know of any others?
