Alpha Labs has announced that its popular live audio processing plug-in, De-Feedback, is now officially compatible with Fourier Audio’s transform.engine platform. The software brings advanced automated feedback suppression directly into the VST3-native hardware hosting environment, providing live sound engineers with a reliable method for managing gain-before-feedback without traditional destructive equalisation. For further technical specifications and deployment notes, full details are available via the official Fourier Audio Announcement.

AI-Powered Processing and Low-Latency Stability

The De-Feedback plug-in relies on real-time artificial intelligence processing to identify and suppress feedback frequencies automatically. Unlike conventional notch filtering or frequency shifting tools that can degrade the tonal quality of a vocal microphone, the AI algorithm distinguishes between direct performance signals and room feedback loops. This allows the software to maintain natural vocal clarity and largely remove room reverberation and background noise. Crucially for live sound environments, the plug-in operates with very low latency, ensuring it meets the stringent timing requirements of high-profile broadcast, theatrical, and touring productions.

When hosted on the transform.engine, the processing is optimised to work alongside the hardware’s proprietary chain sandboxing technology. This isolation ensures that even under heavy digital signal processing loads, individual software instances remain stable and do not affect the rest of the audio chain. Operators can run multiple instances of the plug-in at minimal buffer sizes, preserving system stability while significantly lowering the time spent manually tuning microphones during soundchecks.

Procurement and Licensing Options

As an incentive for early adopters, Alpha Labs has introduced a promotional licensing offer. Users who register their transform.engine hardware can purchase a perpetual licence for De-Feedback at a reduced rate of $374.25, down from the standard retail price of $499.

It is important to note that Adlib does not supply the software licence directly, nor will it be selling it in the future. The plug-in is available exclusively for purchase and digital download through the official Alpha Labs Online Store.

Adlib remains an active supplier of the corresponding hardware infrastructure. The Fourier Audio transform.engine is available to purchase today, with stock available for immediate dispatch. The 2U rack-mounted engine features native worksurface integration with DiGiCo Quantum consoles and provides the stable, Linux-based environment required to run studio-grade VST3 plug-ins safely on live stages. Both the hosting hardware and De-Feedback are fully operational and available today.
