Sonible pure:unmask

Sonible pure:unmask

Clarity is now only moments away thanks to pure:unmask, which makes short work of one of mixing’s most vital components: finding space within one track for another. With just four main controls and the power of Sonible’s artificial intelligence, this VST/AU/AAX plugin gels two competing elements of a mix together perfectly without any pumping artifacts.

Clear as a bell, quick as a flash

pure:unmask sits on the channel to be sculpted (background) and takes a sidechain input from the channel to be unmasked (prioritized). Once the routing is connected, the plugin analyzes both signals and uses a combination of artificial intelligence and spectral processing to accurately create clarity between the two channels without introducing any audio problems.

The processing can be refined via four controls. Unmasking is the large central knob that increases or decreases the overall effect. Resolution defines the width of the spectral processing bands at work. Visual feedback is given for the foreground and background levels and gain reduction.

Speed effectively lets the user either shorten or lengthen attack and release times for the level ducking process; tailoring the unmasking effect to slower, harmonic contexts (piano vs guitar) or to faster, rhythmic contexts (kick vs bass). Finally, the Range control restricts the unmasking process to within a given low-frequency and high-frequency range.
