What it is

Antares Aspire is a vocal processing plugin that isolates and controls a voice's breathiness independently of its harmonic content. It analyzes vocals in real-time, separating aspiration noise from the tonal signal so you can dial in exactly how airy or raspy a vocal sounds. Available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats for Mac and Windows.

Who it's for

Producers and mix engineers working with lead vocals who need precise control over vocal texture - whether tightening a breathy indie singer, adding smokiness to a dry take, or fixing breathiness inconsistencies across a full session.

Key features

• Real-time aspiration noise separation isolates breathiness without touching the vocal's harmonic content
• A parametric EQ on the noise component lets you shape the character of the breathiness, not just the level
• Includes a real-time visual display so you can see the effect of your processing as you dial it in
• Supports VST3, AU, and AAX Native on Mac (Apple Silicon) and Windows, authorized via iLok Account or Dongle
