It then creates a Transfer Function shape to undo it. These really help you understand how the ‘unfiltering’ process works.Ī Learn section analyses the incoming audio to estimate what filtering has been applied to the original signal. The main graphical display shows a few different pieces of information: input signal, output signal and transfer function, all shown via a spectral shape to indicate what is going on as you work. These remain easy to adjust while taking up less GUI space than traditional sliders. So whether you’ve got a sub-par piece of dialogue, a poorly mic’ed signal with comb filtering or audio that’s less than ideal due to being ripped from the internet, UNFILTER could be the tool to help get you a more full-bodied sound.įilter Fun Like UNVEIL, the bread-and-butter controls of UNFILTER are in the Process section, depicted by iconic Zynaptiq trackball-style faders. The sound source may also be a sample, meaning you’re definitely stuck with what you’ve got. Of course, it’s always better to get it right at source and when possible re-record the signal, but this isn’t always an option for a variety of reasons: the performance may have been a one-off, or so good that you can’t possible recapture the vibe. Mix and Match Many of us will have tried to make a bad recording sound good or match one recorded mic signal with another when necessary through broad or narrow additive or subtractive EQ work. This was another task we all thought couldn’t be done until Zynaptiq proved us wrong, and although UNFILTER may not sound as revolutionary as the previous two releases, it does offer new ways to approach audio processing. Although Celemony’s efforts are fantastic, Zynaptiq hasn’t stopped there – we’ve already reviewed the company’s UNVEIL plug-in, which enables you to remove or reduce the amount of reverb in a pre-mixed file.
