pure:unmask

pure:unmask effortlessly tidies up a mix by preventing clashes in the frequency spectrum between two tracks. The plug-in creates room for a prioritized track that should always stay in the limelight by dynamically lowering the volume of competing frequencies in a background track. The plug-in 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 AI analysis and spectral processing to accurately create clarity between the two channels without introducing any audio problems.

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.

Achieve Pro-grade Results Without Any Fuss

pure:unmask makes short work of one of mixing’s most vital components – finding space within one track for another – with minimal setup. All you have to do is load pure:unmask on the channel that needs to make space, route a sidechain input from the prioritized channel and then select a profile that fits the sidechain signal.

Clear As A Bell, Quick As A Flash

AI-powered processing and spectral unmasking are the driving forces behind pure:unmask. Together, these technologies are able to perfectly combine two competing elements of a mix without any pumping artifacts.

Respecting Your Sonic Vision

The processing can be refined via four controls. Unmasking is the large central knob that lets you increase or decrease the overall effect. Resolution allows you to define the width of the spectral processing bands at work. The Speed parameter lets you either shorten or lengthen attack and release times; effectively tailoring the unmasking effect to slower, harmonic contexts (piano vs guitar) or to faster, rhythmic contexts (kick vs bass). You can even restrict the unmasking process to within a given low-frequency and high-frequency range using the Range control.
