Product Overview: Zynaptiq UNVEIL
Introduction
Zynaptiq UNVEIL is a cutting-edge, real-time audio processing plug-in designed to address the challenges of managing reverb and signal focus within audio recordings. Utilizing advanced artificial intelligence and Zynaptiq’s proprietary MAP (Mixed-Signal Audio Processing) technology, UNVEIL offers a robust solution for audio engineers, film mixers, music producers, and sound designers.
Key Features
- De-Reverberation and Signal Focusing: UNVEIL allows users to attenuate or boost reverb components within mixed signals of any channel count, including mono sources. This capability extends to modifying the characteristics of the reverb itself, providing precise control over the audio environment.
- Perceptive Modeling: The plug-in employs pattern recognition and perceptive modeling to identify and separate foreground and background signal components. This enables users to bring key features of a recording into focus or move them to the background by attenuating or boosting perceptually less important signal components.
- Versatile Applications: UNVEIL is highly versatile, catering to various needs across different industries. It can be used to:
- Remove reverb from dialog and location sound in film and television.
- Enhance or reduce reverb in musical recordings, including turning vintage drum loops rich in reverb into dry recordings, and vice versa.
- Remove ambience from sub-optimally captured sounds in Foley work.
- Reduce or boost “mud” or “grit” in music mixes to bring out details or create space for additional signals.
- Facilitate creative sound design and dynamic sound states in game audio.
- Up-Mixing Capabilities: UNVEIL can also be used for stereo-to-quad up-mixing by separating the reverb from the direct signal and using these complementary signals for rear and front channels.
- Real-Time Processing: The plug-in operates in real-time, making it suitable for live music recordings and other applications where immediate results are necessary.
System Requirements and Compatibility
- Operating Systems: UNVEIL is compatible with macOS 10.15 or higher and Windows 10 or higher.
- Hardware: It requires a CPU with at least 2 cores (Intel i7 or higher recommended) and supports both Apple Silicon and Intel CPUs.
- Formats: Available as Mac AU (AudioUnits) plug-in, with VST and AAX support for both Mac and Windows platforms.
Activation and Licensing
- UNVEIL requires registration with Zynaptiq and iLok to activate the license. An internet connection is necessary for authorization and activation. The copy protection mechanism allows for two machine activations at any time, with the ability to de-activate and re-activate machines as needed.
Conclusion
In summary, Zynaptiq UNVEIL is a powerful tool that leverages advanced AI technology to provide unparalleled control over reverb and signal focus, making it an indispensable asset for professionals in the audio industry.
