心声学音频处理插件ApulSoft ApUnmask 1.0.8

apulSoft apUnmask 是一款独特的心声学音频处理插件，主要用于放大并提取音频中被其他较大声音在时间和频率上掩蔽（Masked）的隐藏细节。

• 反掩蔽技术：该插件利用类似 Opus 等高质量音频压缩编解码器中的心理声学检测算法，找出原本会被人耳忽略的微弱音频成分。

• 频率塑造：提取出的隐藏信号会通过一个带有贝塞尔（Bessel）平滑频率响应的线性相位图形均衡器，实现精准的频率雕刻与修饰。

• 声音效果：它能够将这些被“解救”出来的细节重新添加入音乐中，带来一种超现实的清晰听感，让听众听到更多音乐层面的细节。

apulSoft apUnmask is an audio plugin to amplify components of the audio that are psychoacoustically masked by other components.

To achieve this, apUnmask uses parts of the detector algorithm of the opus high-quality audio compression codec. Signal components that would get removed by compression are extracted. These can normally not be heard as they are masked by louder components in time and frequency. apUnmask enables amplifying and sculpting the masked content and adding it to the music.

To shape the frequencies of the extracted signal, it is fed through a linear phase graphical equalizer. It features a bezier curve smoothed frequency response without overshoot.

The result is a form of hyperrealistic audio. The process helps the listener to hear more aspects of the music at the same time. apUnmask can be used as a mastering effect or as an intelligent exciter for single instruments.

Improving Sound Using Audio Compression
Normally, lossy audio compression just removes things. Decades of research have lead to clever algorithms to detect what can be taken away without the listener noticing – all to save on data size. With apUnmask, you can use this research power to your benefit, extracting and amplifying those signals to help the listener’s ears hear more.

Suggested Workflow

Insert apUnmask on the master track or an individual track to be enhanced.
Adjust the master gain until a reasonable amount of delta signal is visible.
Toggle the delta listen button to hear the “ghostly” sound what would be removed by the opus codec. This is what normally lives in the shadows of your music.
Experiment with the resolution knob to find the most interesting components.
Tweak the eq curve to extract and boost the good stuff.
Turn off delta listen and enjoy the result.

System Requirements: Windows 10 or newer running on an x64 CPU with AVX.
