Harshmallow

* Adaptive de-harshing: Harshmallow watches each band and reduces a resonance only while it flares, then releases - not a static EQ cut.SENS sets when a band reacts, DEPTH how far it pulls a peak down, GUARD how much of the source's character to protect, and FOCUS how narrowly it targets the peak. ATT and REL set the per-band timing. * Three bands per lane: LO / MID / HI with two draggable crossovers and a per-band Mix marker. Out of the box the lane is a single full-range de-harsher; drag a crossover inward to bring a band into play. * Stereo or Mid/Side: work in linked Stereo, independent Left/Right, or Mid/Side - calm the stereo edges while the centre stays put. * Three engine modes: Live for tracking, Quality/Studio for mixing, and Deep for a mastering-context pass. Latency is fixed per mode and reported to the host. * Attenuation-only de-harshing path: it pulls detected peaks down and never boosts them. Input and output gain (with Auto Gain) are available separately for level matching.

* Activation is local: your key is verified on your machine, with no phone-home and no usage tracking. Internet is only needed to download or purchase. * One licence unlocks VST3, CLAP, and Standalone, tied to your email rather than a single machine. * A free demo runs the full plugin with a 2-second silence interruption every 60 seconds.

* VST3, CLAP, and Standalone for Windows 10/11 64-bit and Linux (glibc 2.35+). 64-bit x86. MIDI is not used.
