MASTER Bundle

AI-Powered Audio Mastering

The MASTER Bundle: AI-powered audio mastering plugins for maximum quality with minimum effort. Our award-winning "smart" equalizer UNFILTER solves any EQ problems auto-magically (or manually, if preferred), with stunning precision, an incredibly quick workflow, and pristine quality. Carve out the details and character of your audio, add clarity, increase density, and boost loudness without breaking a sweat using INTENSITY. Change the level and punch of drums in a mixed recording or on the drum bus using our source separation based UNMIX::DRUMS. Whether you are a mastering or mixing engineer, music producer or artist, the MASTER Bundle will save you massive amounts of time while providing unbeatable results!

What's included in the MASTER Bundle:

• INTENSITY: Detail | Clarity | Density | Loudness
• UNFILTER: Adaptive Precision Equalizer
• UNMIX::DRUMS: Boost Or Attenuate Drums In Mixed Music

INTENSITY

INTENSITY is a new kind of audio processor for mixing, mastering and sound design. Built on techniques typically found in facial recognition algorithms, INTENSITY brings out a sound’s inherent detail, increases its perceived loudness and density, and adds insane amounts of clarity. The unique algorithm carves out important signal features – making sounds sound more like themselves – and is operated with essentially one control. Between the proprietary algorithm and an optional soft-knee saturating limiter in the plugin’s output stage, INTENSITY also excels at attaining maximum loudness and creating a beautifully aggressive tone. 

The key INTENSITY features at a glance:

• Mastering-grade processing for more detail, clarity, density and loudness. 
• Intuitive and fast workflow using a streamlined set of controls. 
• Proprietary INTENSITY circuit with optional frequency-dependent BIAS function. 
• Additional precision soft-knee saturating limiter at the output stage.

UNFILTER

UNFILTER is a real-time plug-in that removes filtering effects, such as comb filtering, resonance, or excessive equalization – effectively linearizing the frequency response of a signal automatically. UNFILTER can also apply a detected filter response to another signal, or export it to disk as an impulse response, and can even perform mastering grade adaptive, free-form, and graphic equalization. Whether you're in music production, film post, game audio, broadcast, sound design, forensics, or engineering – UNFILTER makes time-consuming and often impossible tasks as effortless as adjusting one control.

Key Features:

• Automatically detect and remove resonances, equalization, roll-offs and the effects of comb filtering from musical,  location, dialog and surveillance recordings.
• Apply the measured filter response to other signals to place them in the same "acoustic world".
• Export the measured filter response to or import it from a linear- or minimum-phase impulse response file (WAV).
• Mastering grade adaptive, free-form and graphic equalization.
• Extremely steep 96dB/octave shelving high-pass filter.
• Output limiter for unsupervised use in batch processing applications.
• Highly time-efficient workflow and UI
• For an overview of the use cases for UNFILTER in sound for picture, music production/mastering, sound design, broadcast or forensics, please have a look at the UNFILTER applications page.

UNMIX::DRUMS

UNMIX::DRUMS is the world’s first audio plugin that allows attenuating or boosting drums in mixed music, in real-time. Using advanced source signal separation (a.k.a. de-mixing, unmixing, sound extraction, sound isolation) technology under the hood, UNMIX::DRUMS provides frequency dependent drum level control that ranges from up to +18dB of boost to virtually complete removal* – while always sounding great. Whether used on a full mix or on a drum bus, UNMIX::DRUMS can be used to shape and enhance the impact of your drums in a unique new way. Sporting an intuitive multi-level GUI, frequency dependent control of key parameters, a sample accurate sub-bass (re)synthesizer, our high-precision analyzer display, M/S operation and an output limiter, UNMIX::DRUMS opens up exciting new options for mastering, music production, sample-based music creation, mash-up artists, remixers and DJs.

* Actually achievable amounts depend on input signal specifics.

Key Features:

• Source Separation-Based Control of Drum Level in Mixed Music.
• SMOOTH and PUNCHY Boost Modes.
• Sample-Accurate Sub-Bass (Re)Synthesizer.
• Frequency Dependent Control of Key Parameters.
• Intuitive 3-way GUI Design.

System Requirements

Mac

• macOS 10.15.x or newer, 64 bit
• Apple Silicon CPU, or Intel CPU with at least 2 Cores (i7 or better recommended)
• Apple AU (AudioUnits), Steinberg VST 2.4, VST 3 or Avid AAX Native compatible host software, processing audio as 32 bit float

Windows

• Windows 10 or newer 
• Intel CPU with at least 2 Cores; i7 or better recommended
• Steinberg VST 2.4, VST 3 or Avid AAX compatible 64-bit host software, processing audio as 32 bit float

Important Notes:

• An iLok account or iLok 2/3-based activation is required in order to register this product
• An internet connection is required for software activation

Copy Protection

Zynaptiq products use the latest PACE copy protection, which allows you to place your activation on your machine or on an iLok 2* (not included). You will need a free iLok.com account to use our software, even for the demos - but you do not necessarily need the iLok 2 dongle if your machine has internet access (activation of a system without internet connectivity requires an iLok 2 device). All required software is installed along with our plugins, but we generally recommend downloading the latest versions directly from iLok.com.

Please Note: The older, first-generation iLok is not supported!

CPU Load

While they are highly optimized, Zynaptiq plugins use a LOT of CPU due to the complex nature of the magic they perform. Please use the free trial to evaluate whether your system has sufficient resources to utilize the software effectively!

Zynaptiq recommends setting your playback buffer size to at least 512 or ideally 1024 samples for optimum performance. 

As Zynaptiq plugins sport unique features not found in any other software, Zynaptiq highly recommends reading the User Manuals to ensure that you get the most out of them!
