What learn:unmask does
The plugin analyzes the spectrum of a source signal and a background signal and applies spectral ducking where the two overlap, so vocals, leads, piano, kick or bass can sit clearly in the mix without the background track being compromised. A real-time spectrogram shows which frequency regions are being reduced, and a frequency bounds control sets the range where the processing is allowed to act. The plugin is offered as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native support for Apple Silicon listed and a minimum of macOS 10.13 or Windows 10, and it needs 4 GB of RAM.
Key features
- AI-guided spectral ducking. An AI model detects masking between the two signals and applies reduction only in the frequency regions where one sound covers the other.
- Real-time spectrogram feedback. A spectrogram displays the signal as it is processed, so the effect of each change can be followed on screen.
- Frequency bounds precision control. The lower and upper limits of the processed range can be set precisely, keeping the ducking inside the band that matters.
Compatibility
Available formats are VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, and the macOS and Windows builds are the ones most often seen as VST3 crack and AAX crack releases.
Who it is for
Mix engineers and producers who need to make room for a vocal, lead or kick against a dense background track, and who want to see the masking as well as hear it.
