Detroubler Black Friday pricing is 74% off, which puts this psychoacoustic EQ plugin from W. A. Production at $10 until Nov 29, 2026.
It goes after the frequency areas that make audio sound harsh, boxy or boomy, without you hunting for them with a manual EQ band.
The maker says it works from psychoacoustics, using Fletcher-Munson curves and the Bark Scale to find sonic irritations that even experienced ears can miss.
Six meters, each aimed at a specific problem area. Here is what the maker describes for each one:
The glowing orbs around the main Detrouble knob act as clickable meters for these six areas. Click one to enable or disable processing there.
The brighter an orb glows, the more processing is happening. An orb with minimal activity means that area needs no gain reduction.
The Listen button is the first step. Turn up the main Detrouble knob and you hear what the plugin is capturing, in real time.
Switch Listen off and you hear the same changes in context.
The interface is vector-based and resizable. A live spectrum sits at the top and shows what happens to the signal as it passes through the plugin.
AB comparison and copy / paste let you contrast different processing chains. Undo and redo buttons revert any change.
The maker also calls it responsive and CPU friendly.
If you run a Mac with Apple Silicon, the maker asks you to review the plugin's compatibility status on your system before purchasing.
Yes. The Detroubler Black Friday deal takes 74% off this W. A. Production plugin and brings it to $10 until Nov 29, 2026.
Detroubler is a psychoacoustic processing plugin that targets ear-fatiguing frequencies. It works on six problem areas: boomy, boxy, muddy, honky, harsh and sizzle, using techniques such as Fletcher-Munson curves and the Bark Scale.
Listen mode lets you hear what the plugin is capturing. Raise the main Detrouble knob and the problem content plays back in real time. Turn Listen off to hear the processed result in context with the rest of your audio.
Detroubler needs Windows 8 or higher (64 bit) or macOS 10.10 or higher (64 bit). The AAX version needs Pro Tools 11 or higher. Mac Apple Silicon users should review the plugin's compatibility status before purchasing.
