The Overhead(s)
Drum-overheads bleed suppressor · VST3
Formerly released as OH No
Pulls kick, snare and tom out of a drum overheads track while leaving the cymbals and hi-hat intact — the mirror image of a de-bleed tool that strips overhead spill from the close mics. What you want to keep is also broadband and transient, so this is real source separation, not an EQ move.
- Blind engine — reference-free; a linear-phase STFT ducks shell-hit energy and tapers back above a tunable Cymbal Protect crossover.
- Reference engine — feed in the kick/snare/tom close mics and a per-source adaptive filter learns each spill path and subtracts it.
- Engines run alone or in series; delta monitoring; Modern / Vintage panels.
- Fixed ~85 ms latency, reported for delay compensation. Passes pluginval at strictness 10.
Windows: run the installer (VST3 →
C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\ + the HTML manual), or take the
portable .zip and place the .vst3 yourself.
macOS: run the signed .pkg, or unzip the bundle into
~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/. Rescan plug-ins in your DAW afterwards.
