LIM TheMasker - free automatic frequency masking compensation plugin
https://audioplugins.lim.di.unimi.it/index.php?p=2&#p29

is it a Soothe/Gullfoss killer?
anyone using it, thoughts?

 

IMO the best free option by quite some distance is Spectral Compressor. Does resonance suppression, sidechain spectral ducking and let's you define your own emphasis curve. 100% worth learning and having - just make sure you use the emphasis curve - always. It's my favourite free plugin of 2023.

 

Looks great, but I find Github extremely confusing - where can you download the installer?

^ No installer. Just extract to a location scanned by your DAW. If you're on Mac, you may need to mess around with Gatekeeper / codesign. If the link doesn't work, I'm sure somebody uploaded a recent version to the sister site.

 

I thought it was only me!

 

It's called Github because it's run by daft gits.
