UNFILTER

UNFILTER is a real-time plug-in that removes filtering effects such as comb filtering resonance or excessive equalization – effectively linearizing the frequency response of a signal automatically. UNFILTER can also apply a detected filter response to another signal or export it to disk as an impulse response and can even perform mastering grade adaptive free-form and graphic equalization. Whether youre in music production film post game audio broadcast sound design forensics or engineering – UNFILTER makes time-consuming and often impossible tasks as effortless as adjusting one control.The UNFILTER features at a glance: Automatically detect and remove resonances equalization roll-offs and the effects of comb filtering from musical location dialog and surveillance recordings.Apply the measured filter response to other signals to place them in the same “acoustic world”.Export the measured filter response to or import it from a linear- or minimum-phase impulse response file (WAV).Mastering grade adaptive free-form and graphic equalization.Extremely steep 96dB/octave shelving high-pass filter.Output limiter for unsupervised use in batch processing applications.Highly time-efficient workflow and UIFor an overview of the use cases for UNFILTER in sound for picture music production/mastering sound design broadcast or forensics please have a look at the UNFILTER applications page.Set It StraightUNFILTER automatically detects resonances EQ or filter effects – essentially any frequency response anomalies that arent part of the original signal. You can then remove these by simply adjusting one control leaving the rest of the signal virtually untouched. As a result previously problematic or unusable recordings can be made to sound good and good recordings to sound great. In real-time and with minimal effort Zynaptiq-style.Make It SoYou can also apply the measured filter response from one recording to another – placing the two in the same acoustic “world”. Or you can create room-tone to fill editing gaps by applying a measured filter response to noise. You can of course also store filter responses to disk as linear- or minimum-phase impulse response files building a library of “colors” to have at your disposal any time. Whether you need to make ADR blend with production dialog get one guitar snippet to sound like part of another or create new sounds UNFILTER makes this task fast and easy.More EqualUNFILTER is also an EQ. Three mastering grade EQs and an excellent high-pass filter actually. For one its (un-)filtering engine can function as an adaptive program equalizer that continuously adjusts itself while the audio is playing. This helps maintain a balanced spectrum when working with audio that changes over time for example when streaming mixed music in broadcast applications. Secondly UNFILTER sports a free-form EQ with various curve interpolation modes from super-gentle slopes through narrow notches to brickwall steps. Thirdly we added a streamlined 7-band graphic EQ for good measure. And finally there’s a super-steep 96dB per octave shelving high-pass filter that removes low frequency rumble so efficiently you’ll forget that there was ever anything down there.Rocket ScienceHow does UNFILTER do all that? Technically it performs a real-time blind de-convolution a cutting-edge technology rarely found even in the most advanced of research institutes. Fortunately we dont do lab coats.This technology allows UNFILTER to take a close look at your audio estimate what happened to its frequency response and then create a filter that will undo the process. Sounds like rocket science? Thats because it is. But all the technology in the world doesnt matter if its difficult to operate or doesnt sound good. Well UNFILTER is a breeze to use and doesnt just sound good…it sounds amazing.LightspeedThe UNFILTER UI is so fast and easy to use that corrective EQ can often be done within seconds by adjusting just one of our super-slick trackball sliders. And for advanced customization every single function and control has been engineered with painstaking attention to detail – finely-tuned for optimal workflow and results. Whichever control you move the right setting is never far away. UNFILTER is not only a life-saver it is also a time-saver par excellance.
