What sonible pure:unmask is
sonible pure:unmask is a DAW plugin that uses spectral unmasking to reduce frequency interference between two audio tracks. The workflow puts the plugin on the track that needs space, routes the prioritized track to its sidechain input, and selects a matching profile. AI processing works with sidechain-specific profiles, while controls let users adjust unmasking amount, spectral resolution, processing speed, and the frequency range affected. sonible says the processing can combine competing mix elements without pumping artifacts. The plugin 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 is machine-based or through iLok. A fully functional 30-day demo is available after registration.
