What sonible prime:vocal is

sonible prime:vocal is vocal processing software for cleaning recordings and shaping their sound. Its AI-based tools reduce background noise and room reverberation, with cleanup controls aimed at sibilants, plosives, buzzing, mechanical noise, and reflections in the recording. Further controls address dynamics, average loudness, and spectral balance.

The app runs on Windows and macOS as a standalone program for loading, processing, and exporting recordings. ARA plug-ins for VST3 and AU are available in Beta, with guides for Studio One, Cubase, Reaper, and Logic Pro. ARA analysis covers the full audio clip, including sections cropped in a DAW; parts that have not been analyzed are unavailable for playback until processed.

The listed requirements are Windows 10 (64 bit) or macOS 11 or later, 16 GB RAM or more, OpenGL 3.2 or later, and an Intel Core i5 or Apple Silicon CPU. Supported sample rates span 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz. Activation can use the computer, an iLok USB dongle, or iLok cloud authorization. Internet is needed during the trial and initial activation, but not after activation succeeds.
