ApulSoft ApUnmask v1.0.8

Software Overview

---

ApUnmask applies concepts from lossy audio compression to creative sound processing. Audio codecs use psychoacoustic analysis to determine which signal components can be removed without being easily perceived. ApUnmask uses related detection techniques to isolate those normally masked components and make them available for further processing.
The extracted delta signal can be monitored independently, adjusted with a resolution control, and shaped through the integrated graphical equalizer. This provides a workflow for identifying subtle frequency content and selectively enhancing it within a mix or individual track.
A typical workflow starts by inserting ApUnmask on the master or target track, adjusting the master gain until the delta signal reaches a useful level, and activating delta listening to examine the detected content. The resolution control and EQ curve can then be adjusted before returning to the full signal and evaluating the processed result.
Key Features

---

• Uses psychoacoustic audio compression analysis to identify normally masked signal components.
• Amplifies extracted delta content and blends it into the original audio.
• Provides linear-phase equalization for shaping the extracted signal.
• Uses graphical frequency-response editing with a Bezier-smoothed curve without overshoot.
• Includes a delta listen function for monitoring content identified by the compression analysis.
• Provides a resolution control for exploring different extracted signal components.
• Introduces 3128 samples of latency at 44.1 kHz.
• Supports unlimited undo and redo for processing actions.
• Supports AudioUnits, AAX, VST, and VST3 plugin formats.
• Runs on 64-bit macOS, Windows, and Linux systems.
• Includes system-wide preset management with import and export capabilities.
• Uses a human-readable XML preset format that can be shared across supported platforms and hosts.
• Provides bright and dark interface schemes as well as user-defined color schemes.

Why Choose ApulSoft ApUnmask

---

ApUnmask is intended for audio engineers, producers, and musicians who want to explore subtle signal content that is normally masked by louder elements. It can be inserted on a master track for broader processing or applied to an individual instrument when additional detail or excitation is desired.
Its dedicated delta monitoring and frequency-shaping controls make it possible to examine the extracted material before incorporating it into the final signal. Preset management and support for multiple plugin formats also allow the processor to fit into different digital audio workstation environments.

64-bit macOS, Windows, or Linux
Frequently Asked Questions

---

What does ApulSoft ApUnmask do?

---

ApUnmask extracts audio components that are identified as psychoacoustically masked and allows them to be amplified and shaped before being added back to the music.
Can ApUnmask be used for mastering?

---

Yes. The plugin can be inserted on a master track to process masked components across a complete mix. It can also be used on individual instrument tracks.
What is the delta listen function?

---

Delta listen allows users to monitor the extracted signal components independently. These are the parts identified by the compression-based detection process as content that would normally be removed by the Opus codec.
Which plugin formats does ApUnmask support?

---

ApUnmask supports AudioUnits, AAX, VST, and VST3 formats on 64-bit macOS, Windows, and Linux systems.
Does ApUnmask include preset management?

---

Yes. The plugin provides system-wide preset management with import and export support. Presets use a human-readable XML format designed for compatibility across supported platforms and hosts.
