Pure:unmask by sonible is an effects dynamics processor that makes room for a prioritized track by lowering the volume of the channels around it, driven by an AI-powered spectral unmasking process.

What pure:unmask does
Masking happens when a track sits in the same frequency area as a more important track and gets buried. pure:unmask is loaded on the channel that needs to make space, and its sidechain input is routed from the prioritized channel. Once the routing is connected, the plugin analyzes both signals and uses a combination of AI analysis and spectral processing to create room for the prioritized track, so that it stays in the limelight while the sculpted background sits behind it.
Four controls shape the result: a large central Unmasking knob that increases or decreases the overall effect, a Resolution control that defines the width of the spectral processing bands, a Speed parameter that shortens or lengthens the attack and release times to tailor the unmasking effect, and a Range control that restricts the unmasking process to a given low-frequency or high-frequency range. The developer also describes automatic parametrization and AI-powered processing characteristic profiles. pure:unmask is available as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, and a trial version is offered.
Key features
- Automatic parametrization. The developer describes automatic parametrization that aims at high-quality results without manual tuning of the spectral processing.
- Unmasking control. A large central knob increases or decreases the overall effect of the unmasking process on the background channel.
- Resolution. The Resolution control defines the width of the spectral processing bands that are at work during unmasking.
- Speed. The Speed parameter shortens or lengthens the attack and release times, which tailors how quickly the unmasking effect responds.
- Range. The Range control restricts the unmasking process to a chosen low-frequency or high-frequency range.
- Sidechain routing. The sidechain input takes the signal from the prioritized channel, and the plugin lowers the volume of the sculpted background channel accordingly.
Compatibility
Pure:unmask runs as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows 10 and macOS 10.13, with native Apple Silicon support listed. It needs 4 GB of RAM and loads in Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Nuendo, FL Studio, Reaper and Studio One.
