Description

Floorfish is a lightweight expander and gate from digitalfishphones for reducing background noise or creating stronger cutoff effects. It is designed to be quick to set up while still offering a source-scan function that adjusts the transition curve to the material being processed.

The range runs from subtle expansion and noise attenuation to more extreme gating, so Floorfish can clean up close-miked drums, guitar amps, and vocal takes as well as produce rhythmic chops. The source does not publish a larger feature list, keeping the workflow focused on the gate and its transition behavior.

The supplied listing provides a Win32 VST download at approximately 0.5 MB. No macOS, AU, VST3, or 64-bit version is documented in the supplied evidence.
