Zynaptiq Unchirp Codec Artifact Removal Plug-In

Codec Artifact Removal & Transient Retrieval

UNCHIRP is a plug-in for removing the most obnoxious artifacts associated with lossy audio encoding and other FFT based processes, such as spectral de-noising. Reduce musical noise, suppress high-frequency chirping (also known as underwater sound, warbling or the tweeters), fix transient smearing, and restore lost high frequencies – UNCHIRP does it all in one go. If you need to salvage poorly encoded music, speech that has gone through a low bit rate uplink, material that has been de-noised too strongly, or footage recorded with consumer mobile devices – or if you simply want to add contour and vibrancy to already great sounding recordings – UNCHIRP is your (only) friend.

Two Is More Than One

Unsharp identifies the birdies and applies proprietary processing to make them disappear. It offers two different, simultaneously available algorithms to achieve this, Musical Noise Reduction and Dechirping, each featuring its own technological approach, unique sonic properties and its own breakpoint curve editor for frequency dependent processing. At Zynaptiq, we like over-delivering.

Snap

Like our award-winning de-reverberator UNVEIL, UNCHIRP allows bypassing transients for natural sounding results even with extreme settings. But we didn't stop there – we've added frequency dependency to the bypass threshold, and frequency dependent transient attenuation/boost. The new Transient Synthesis can replace transients compromised by FFT processing such as lossy encoding, or by excessive dynamics processing. Finally, the Sync function synchronizes processing to the signal's transients, adding overall clarity and coherence. These algorithms work equally well for fixing problem material as well as for augmenting already great sounding recordings, adding impact, detail, and contour. It's like pulling a curtain aside. Try it, you'll love it.

The Shining

And then, there's Treble Boost, which deals with the fact that low bit rate encoded audio may show a ""dead band"" in the treble range - there's simply a hard-limit to what any given bit rate can capture in terms of frequency. Regular EQ won't help because there's nothing to boost. The Treble Boost circuit offers two ways to recover some of that treble : a psycho-acoustically optimized Enhancer – equalization that is tailored in such a way that it implies frequency content in the dead band to the listener – and an Exciter, which synthesizes new harmonics to ""fill the gap"". These sound so good that you may end up turning to these for your treble processing in general – even with already great sounding signals – to add shine and vibrancy to your audio.

Supraluminal

As time is the most scarce of resources, at Zynaptiq we're obsessed with saving it for you. UNCHIRP sports a variety of workflow features to help you get results faster than light. There's an output limiter to allow for unsupervised batch-processing without overs, an I/O difference function to quickly hear what exactly you're removing, frequency dependent processing for all key parameters using breakpoint curves with snap-to-zero and copy/paste functionality, and our present manager that writes presets that you can then use across all platforms and formats.
