What's inside

A smarter way to de-resonate.

Load Quell on a track and hear harshness disappear — surgical resonance control without dulling the source.

Real-time resonance detection

Quell continuously scans the spectrum and clamps resonant peaks the instant they ring out.

Surgical & transparent

Removes ringing and harshness with dynamic, narrow processing — without dulling or thinning the source.

Built for any source

Vocals, acoustic & electric guitar, drums, cymbals, room tone and full busses.

Sensitivity & depth

Dial in exactly how hard Quell reacts — gentle polish or aggressive control.

See what it tames

A clean spectral display shows precisely which frequencies are being suppressed.

Light on CPU

Run multiple instances across your whole session without a hit.

Three steps

From harsh to smooth in seconds.

Download & install

Grab the free installer for macOS or Windows. Run it once and Quell appears in your plugin list.

Drop it on a track

Add Quell as an AU or VST3 insert on the harsh vocal, guitar, drum or buss that's ringing.

Set & forget

Dial sensitivity to taste. Quell tracks the resonances and suppresses them in real time as you play.

“Harsh, ringing resonances are the fastest way to make a mix sound amateur. Quell makes them disappear — for free.
