Aspire

Antares

Aspire is the first tool for independently modifying a voice's breathiness without affecting harmonic content. It analyzes vocal audio in real time to separate aspiration noise from harmonic content, then allows adjustment of aspiration amount and character via parametric EQ. Whether reducing vocal rasp or adding smokiness, Aspire modifies breathiness while preserving vocal harmonic characteristics.

Key Features

01Real-time aspiration noise separation from harmonic content
02Increase/Reduce switch for aspiration control
03Reduction range 0 to -12 dB
04Increase range 0 to 12 dB
05One-band parametric EQ with Frequency (0–4000 Hz), Q, and Gain controls
06Voice Type selector (Soprano, Alto/Tenor, Baritone/Bass, Instrument)
07Tracking control for waveform variation tolerance
08Real-time display showing aspiration noise (red), harmonic content (white), and EQ curve (green)

Things to Try

  • 01If working with a well-isolated solo signal, leave the Tracking control at its default value
  • 02If signal is noisy or not well-isolated, set Tracking to a higher value
  • 03If encountering artifacts such as clicking or popping, try setting Tracking to a lower value
