Subtle Vocal Breath Reduction

I have a single-track vocal stem that sounds great overall, but the singer’s inhales are a bit too present. I don’t want a surgical, over-processed result—just a light touch that makes the breaths less distracting while keeping the performance natural.

You’ll receive the original stem along with a list of precise timestamps where the most obvious breaths sit, so you can focus on those spots first and then give the whole take one final pass to ensure consistency. Please keep the ambience, timing, and tonal character intact; I prefer gentle automation or transparent clip-gain edits over heavy gating or hard compression.

Deliverables
• Cleaned vocal stem at the same sample rate/bit depth as supplied
• Brief note on the tools or techniques used, so I can replicate settings if we do a remix later

I’ll approve the job once the breaths at the provided timestamps are comfortably tucked back without audible artifacts or sudden volume jumps.
