In general, the tonal quality of UNFILTER is its second charm, alongside its ability to fabricate large chunks of missing frequency information. We tried it on all manner of sub-par dialogue and instrument recordings and achieved full-bodied tones without noticeable side effects until pushed to extremes. Even the higher-end character of the kick, snare and hi-hat were accurately emulated, which is an incredible feat.

We filtered this ourselves so we knew what the original should sound like.ДЄfter some experimenting with the Learn function to ensure it dynamically followed the drum parts in real time, we achieved a very close approximation of the full break before filtering. Once installed, we jumped in at the deep end and tried the most extreme unfiltering you can think of: a low-pass-filtered breakbeat with no higher-mid information, just thuds from the kick, snare and hi-hat. This is key to focusing on where new information needs to be added to restore heavily filtered sounds.

Alternatively, it can be used as a bias control to direct the focus of the Transfer Function. This is also quite easy to grasp thanks to the graphical display feedback as the Transfer Function changes shape in front of your eyes.ДЄ click-and-shape EQ curve sits over this display which can be used in the regular manner to re-balance the frequency content of the original sound. It then creates a Transfer Function shape to undo it. These really help you understand how the вЂunfilteringвЂ™ process works.ДЄ 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. Like UNVEIL, the bread-and-butter controls of UNFILTER are in the Process section, depicted by iconic Zynaptiq trackball-style faders. So whether youвЂ™ve got a sub-par piece of dialogue, a poorly micвЂ™ed signal with comb filtering or audio thatвЂ™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. The sound source may also be a sample, meaning youвЂ™re definitely stuck with what youвЂ™ve got. Of course, itвЂ™s always better to get it right at source and when possible re-record the signal, but this isnвЂ™t always an option for a variety of reasons: the performance may have been a one-off, or so good that you canвЂ™t possible recapture the vibe. 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 couldnвЂ™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 CelemonyвЂ™s efforts are fantastic, Zynaptiq hasnвЂ™t stopped there вЂ“ weвЂ™ve already reviewed the companyвЂ™s UNVEIL plug-in, which enables you to remove or reduce the amount of reverb in a pre-mixed file.
