Boost and attenuation
Zynaptiq's Unmix::Drums is a unique world-first audio plugin that features the isolation and attenuation of a drum signal relative to everything else in the mix in real-time. By utilising advanced source signal separation Unmix::Drums is highly capable of de-mixing, unmixing, sound extraction and sound isolation to provide frequency-dependent drum level control that ranges from up to +18dbB of boost to virtually complete removal. Ultimately, Unmix::Drums works so that you can attenuate your drum signal through a huge range of levels with a workflow as simple as adjusting the "Drum Level" and "Threshold" parameters; from "headphone bleed" levels or pushed distinctly to the front of the mix.
Impact shaping
Whether Unmix::Drums is applied to a full mix or directly onto a drum bus it can shape and enhance the impact of a drum signal in a unique way. Adjusting the "Drum Level" frequency dependently in the "Curves" view lets you shape the impact and punch of the drum signal like never before through a method Zynpatiq call "Impact Equalisation". Impact equalisation offers distinct and compelling signal qualities without the need for a compressor or transient processor, even if they are within a full mix, so you can tweak in real-time without fear of pushing your CPU too far.
Boost modes
Unmix::Drums comes complete with two distinct boost modes, "Smooth" and "Punchy". The "Smooth" boost is designed for natural-sounding medium boost situations to produce a dry and organic sound, as well as pre-processing for drum extraction applications. On the other hand, "Punchy" produces a snappy, tight sound. Both modes are capable of boosting drum reverb with unique and distinct effects, "Smooth" focusing on early reflections while "Punchy" is adapted for long reverb tails.
Sub-bass (re)synthesiser
Zynaptiq has packaged Unmix::Drums with the world's first and only sample accurate sub-bass (re)synthesiser. Simply raising the "Bass Synth" slider provides a progressively punchy and clean low-frequency energy to your mix or drums without level instabilities, false triggers or phase cancellation. This re(synthesiser) can offer subtle extensions to the frequency range but is equally capable of pushing your mix through vigorous and impactful levels of sub-bass boosts.
Workflow
Unmix::Drums is complete with a number of robust workflow features that optimise both attenuation and sonic sculpting. An intuitive three-way graphical user interface design ensures you see only the parameters you need to see when and if you need them. Each layer reveals a number of progressively more precise and specific parameters with frequency-dependent control such as level compensation, M/S processing, a hard-knee limiter, "kill-switch" style drum level macro buttons and a comprehensive selection of carefully hand-crafted factory presets.
