What sonible pure:unmask is

sonible pure:unmask is a DAW plug-in that uses spectral unmasking to reduce frequency interference between two audio tracks. The workflow places it on the track that needs room, routes the prioritized track to its sidechain input, and uses a matching profile. AI-powered processing works with sidechain-specific profiles. Controls adjust the amount of unmasking, spectral resolution, processing speed, and the frequency range affected. sonible says its processing can combine competing mix elements without pumping artifacts. The plug-in runs on macOS and Windows. Mac formats are VST, VST3, AU, and AAX; Windows formats are VST, VST3, and AAX. Supported sample rates range from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz. Minimum requirements include macOS 10.14 or Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i5 or Apple Silicon CPU, and OpenGL 3.2 or later. Authorization can be machine-based or through iLok. A fully functional 30-day demo is available after registration. The listed single plug-in license costs 1900.00 EUR once, with a 40% EDU discount for students and lecturers.
