Sonible pure:unmask

What pure:unmask Is For

pure:unmask is a mixing plug-in designed to create space between two audio sources that interfere with each other in the frequency spectrum. It acts precisely where traditional equalization can become lengthy and approximate: vocals versus instruments, kick versus bass, guitars versus keyboards, or dialogues versus music. By analyzing the priority track via sidechain, pure:unmask helps the processed track reposition itself to gain clarity, intelligibility, and balance, while preserving the sonic character of your production.

Main Features

Spectral Unmasking for More Readable Mixes

Thanks to spectral unmasking, pure:unmask targets overlapping areas between two tracks and attenuates them in a controlled manner. The goal is not to "break" the sound but to limit spectral interference so that each element finds its place. The result: a clearer sense of separation without having to multiply automations or dynamic equalizers.

AI-Assisted Processing and Sidechain-Dedicated Profiles

pure:unmask's AI-powered engine simplifies settings by automating much of the setup. You load the plug-in on the track that needs to make space, send the priority track to the sidechain input, then select a profile adapted to the sidechain signal. This "creator-friendly" logic allows you to quickly achieve a cleaner mix while maintaining a musical approach that is easy to reproduce from project to project.

Control of the Action Zone and Behavior Adaptation

To stay flexible, pure:unmask offers settings focused on efficiency: control of unmasking and the processing range, with resolution and speed adaptation. You can adjust the responsiveness and precision of the effect depending on the content (percussive, sustain, vocals, instrument bus) and style (pop, rock, electro, podcast, film music).

Seamless Integration into Your DAW

In practice, pure:unmask easily inserts into a modern mixing chain: before or after compression, complementing corrective EQ, or as a quick solution when two elements compete for the foreground. The processing is designed to avoid pumping artifacts and preserve natural dynamics, making it a relevant tool for both music mixing and spoken content.
