GLISTEN
Air on top. The spit taken out.
GLISTEN limits how fast the highs can move, not how loud they are — then adds even air back in, level-matched so you hear the tone and not the volume.

Why it exists
high-frequency acceleration limiter
Every air move is a trade. The shelf that opens a vocal up also sharpens every ess, every hat splash and every edge of synth glare — so you back it off, reach for a de-esser, and the top end you wanted goes with it.
GLISTEN treats harshness as speed. Above the crossover it limits how steeply the signal may move — the part the ear reads as a stab — and leaves the level alone, so the highs stay where they were and stop spitting. A parallel path then adds up to +10.75 dB of air across 6–16 kHz, with a guard that backs it off on sibilance. MATCH holds the loudness so the A/B is honest, DELTA solos exactly what was removed and what was added, and Reference Match reads the air of a record you drop in and asks for the difference.
In the session
- 01Open up a vocal without sharpening the esses.
- 02Take the splash off hats and cymbals while they keep their level.
- 03Drop in a reference and match its air in one move — undo is one press.
- 04Solo what it removed, then what it added, with DELTA.

Straight answers
Before you run GLISTEN.
Which DAWs does GLISTEN work in?
Pro Tools (AAX); Logic Pro and GarageBand (AU, macOS); Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One and Reaper (VST3). It ships as VST3, AU, AAX on macOS and Windows. The install guide covers where each format lands and how to rescan if a host doesn't see it.
What are the system requirements?
macOS: macOS 11+ · Apple Silicon + Intel (Universal). Windows: Windows 10/11 · 64-bit · VST3 + AAX. Licensing is iLok; no USB dongle is required.
Does GLISTEN add latency?
Where the engine needs lookahead or oversampling, GLISTEN reports its latency to your DAW, which compensates automatically, so it stays in time with the rest of the session. On a live input, check your host's low-latency or monitoring mode.
Can I try GLISTEN before buying?
Yes, through the subscription: the 7-day trial covers every unit, GLISTEN included, with nothing charged until it ends. Individual plugins and bundles don't have separate trials.
Do I need an iLok dongle?
No. The license lives on your iLok account and can be activated to your computer, to iLok Cloud, or to a USB key — your choice.
How do I install it?
Through the Echelon Audio Hub: sign in once, and it installs, updates and rolls back every unit you own or subscribe to.
Are updates free?
Yes. A perpetual GLISTEN license includes every update to GLISTEN; subscribers get updates and every new unit as it lands.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Perpetual licenses have a 7-day refund window from purchase, as long as the license is surrendered from your iLok account. On the subscription, cancelling inside the trial means you pay nothing. If something is broken and support can't fix it, we'll make it right regardless.
