2. sonible Plugin Lineup (On-Sale and More)
First, here is the lineup, grouped into three families: the “smart:” series, the “pure:” series, and “Others” (EQ, metering, vocal processing, and so on).
smart: Series
AI analyzes the signal and automatically suggests the optimal settings for each track. With visualization and fine control, it is sonible’s core line that lets you dial things in.
smart:comp 3 — Spectro-Dynamic Compressor
smart:comp 3 is the latest version of sonible’s AI-based intelligent compressor. It goes a step beyond chasing numbers and settings, and is designed to let you compress in line with your “musical intent.”
Using AI analysis, it reads the input signal and maps out the full range of musically useful compression settings based on the characteristics of the audio material. This greatly reduces the trial-and-error of searching for the right value, enabling more intuitive dynamics control.
Its proprietary Spectral Compression / Spectral Ducking technology applies extra compression or ducking only where needed. Because it distributes gain reduction at high resolution per frequency band, it achieves compression that keeps transparency, balance and a natural tone.
Key features (official):
- Compression Matrix: smoothly transition between compression characters
- Compression Scope: visualize the effective compression range
- Group Mode: edit up to 7 tracks together from a single window
- Zero-latency Mode (for live and recording) / linear-phase mode (for mixing and post)
- Style (Clean / Smooth / Aggressive) plus an adjustable Custom style
smart:reverb 2 — Content-Aware Reverb
smart:reverb 2 is a next-generation reverb plugin with AI-powered content awareness. It analyzes the input signal and builds a tailor-made reverb response that fits naturally into the spectral and temporal context of the sound, delivering consistent spatial design without masking or muddiness.
A standout is its cross-channel processing via “Group Mode.” You can place multiple tracks naturally and clearly from a single instance, and tidy up overlapping frequencies. Perception-based Size / Width / Distance parameters let you intuitively control “distance,” “width” and “clarity,” and the Reverb Matrix (Room / Hall / Spring / Plate) lets you freely blend four typical reverb styles.
Key features (official):
- AI-driven content-aware reverb generation
- Manage depth staging with cross-channel processing
- Reverb Matrix: blend Room / Hall / Spring / Plate
- Perception-based Size / Width / Distance controls
- Batch depth placement across multiple tracks via Group Mode
smart:limit — Content-Aware Limiter
smart:limit is a limiter that offers automatic parameter setup in just a few seconds, plus extensive loudness & dynamics monitoring. It analyzes the signal and presents limiting parameters that let your mix breathe within seconds. Its intelligent processing preserves track detail and delivers transparent, uncompromising limiting.
Because comprehensive loudness/dynamics monitoring is built in, you don’t need a separate metering plugin. It displays Loudness (LUFS), Loudness Range (LU), Dynamics (dB), True Peak (dBTP) and Gain Reduction (dB) at a glance. With Instant Impact Prediction, changing a parameter reflects the result immediately without re-measuring.
To help you meet streaming-delivery standards, an interactive Quality Check provides hints. It also supports genre-based profiles and uploading reference tracks.
Key features (official):
- AI-based automatic parameter setup completed in seconds
- Built-in extensive loudness and dynamics monitoring
- Interactive Quality Check hints
- Instant Impact Prediction (no need to restart measurement)
- Sound shaping: Style / Saturation / Balance / Bass Control
smart:gate — Content-Aware Gate
smart:gate automatically detects the presence of your chosen target source and lets you focus on that source while gating. Unlike conventional gates, it doesn’t open and close based on the level of the entire input signal, but reacts only to signal components belonging to the target.
This makes it far more stable than traditional gates, and you can use it even when background signals exceed the level of the target source. Simply select a target source such as vocals, electric guitar or piano from a dropdown, and gating becomes easy. It works reliably even when competing instruments are louder than the signal you want to keep.
It also includes plenty of fine-tuning features, such as a 3-band suppression network that weights gating across the entire frequency spectrum, and a Level bias that is effective for transient sources. Since gating and ducking are closely related, you can switch the gate plugin into a ducking mode. You can also turn off the content-aware AI and use it as a conventional gate.
Key features (official):
- Content-aware gate with intelligent source detection
- Choose from a wide range of instrument and sound profiles
- Weighting via a 3-band suppression network
- Level bias (effective for transients) / Ducking mode
- Can be used as a conventional gate with AI turned off
smart:deess — Content-Aware De-Esser
While other de-essers simply turn the volume down, smart:deess creates a deeper, more naturally balanced sound. Using a fully trained neural network, it identifies the precise start and end points of phonemes without setting a threshold. Because spectral processing lets it handle the entire phoneme, it differs greatly from conventional de-essers.
When you load the plugin, it creates a “voiceprint” of the input audio signal and begins balancing any sibilants and plosives present. It identifies specific phonemes such as S, Z, Sh, Ch, T and P in real time, determining the exact start and end of each. Because each phoneme is recognized and processed independently, the final result sounds more natural.
With Color (soft / balanced / sharp) you can adjust the character of the sibilance, and you can even breathe new life into dull, lisping sibilance.
Key features (official):
- Phoneme detection plus spectral de-essing via a neural network
- De-essing and plosive handling in a single plugin
- Identifies each phoneme’s start and end without setting a threshold
- Independent processing of S / Z / Sh / Ch / T / P per phoneme
- Color control (soft / balanced / sharp)
smart:EQ 4 — Intelligent Equalizer
smart:EQ 4 is an intelligent EQ that analyzes your audio material, uses AI to correct spectral problems, and equalizes to achieve tonal balance. It works across channels and uses automatic spectral mixing to control multiple tracks hierarchically. Unlike conventional EQs that exclude the mix context from processing, smart:EQ 4 takes a holistic approach.
To optimize your workflow, you can remote-control multiple instances from a single plugin window, keeping the full picture in mind while mixing. The core smart:filter offers three modes: “Track (balance the channel),” “Group (masking reduction only)” and “Track and Group (both),” and lets you hierarchically control up to 10 tracks by drag and drop. On the sound stage you can set the priority of each element (foreground / middle / background).
It also features dynamic EQ, Auto Gain, comprehensive Mid/Side processing and an analyzer.
Key features (official):
- Automatic tonal-balance correction via smart:filter
- Spectral unmasking with cross-channel processing (up to 10 tracks)
- Three smart:filter modes (Track / Group / Track and Group)
- Dynamic EQ, Auto Gain, Mid/Side processing and analyzer
- Remote-control identical instances within a group from another instance
smart:EQ live — Zero-Latency EQ for Live
smart:EQ live is an equalizer plugin that continuously analyzes the audio signal and optimizes it in real time. Thanks to a latency-free smart:engine, it handles any live audio situation and achieves an optimally balanced sound within seconds. It works as an additional safety net that takes the hassle out of mixing.
A high-precision adaptive filter analyzes the audio signal, interprets it musically, and corrects spectral imbalances in real time. In addition to standard profiles that optimize the algorithm for each sound source, you can also create your own profiles. It includes settings designed for live use, such as “Adaption speed,” which determines how quickly smart:filter reacts to changes in tonal balance, and “Threshold,” which limits the decibel range considered during analysis.
Key features (official):
- Real-time correction via a latency-free smart:engine
- Standard profiles per sound source plus user profiles
- Adaption speed (reaction speed) setting
- Threshold (decibel range to analyze) setting
pure: Series
It condenses the AI processing of the smart: series into “one-knob / one-button”–level simplicity. A lightweight line for creators who want high-quality results quickly.
pure:limit — AI-Powered Limiter (for Creators)
pure:limit is an AI-powered limiter that lets you tame peaks, shape dynamics and find the optimal level for your mix with a single button. Automatic parameter setup delivers high-quality results quickly.
Whatever the type of audio material — soulful vocals, bass-heavy samples, distorted guitars, podcast voices — getting “the right amount of limiting” is essential for great sound on any speaker system. With a wide range of genre-based profiles, instant playback, a Style selector (Soft / neutral / hard) and an inflate parameter for sound design, you can put the final polish on your mix while keeping a creative flow.
Key features (official):
- Automatic parameter setup for high-quality results
- Intelligent processing and genre-based profiles
- Style selector (Soft / neutral / hard) and an inflate parameter
- One-button operation
pure:deess — AI-Powered De-Esser (for Creators)
pure:deess is an AI-powered de-esser plugin. Its strength is automatically detecting sibilance (sharp sounds such as s and sh) that occurs in vocal and narration recordings, and suppressing it with simple operation. Many conventional de-essers are complex to set up, but pure:deess can be adjusted intuitively with only three main controls — Suppression, Color and Shaping — making it usable by everyone from beginners to professionals.
This plugin draws on the analysis and processing technology of its higher-end sibling, smart:deess; a neural network analyzes the input signal and identifies the types of sibilance. It analyzes the sibilance in seconds to build a “voiceprint” profile, and calculates a target profile for each phoneme such as Z, Sh, Ch and T. Beyond simply suppressing sibilance, it corrects it appropriately while preserving clarity, so you can finish without losing the nuance of the original vocal.
Key features (official):
- Detection and processing via AI (neural network)
- Automatic parameter setup for a natural sound
- Adjust the amount of suppression with the Suppression dial
- Adjust texture with Color (Soft / Balanced / Sharp) and Shaping
- One-dial de-essing with a single dial
pure:unmask — AI-Powered Unmasking (for Creators)
pure:unmask is a plugin that easily tidies up your mix by preventing frequency-spectrum clashes between two tracks. By dynamically lowering the volume of the conflicting frequencies of a background track, it makes room for the priority track that should always be in the spotlight.
You place this plugin on the channel you want to make room on, and feed it a sidechain input from the track that should be unmasked and prioritized. Once the routing is connected, the plugin analyzes both signals and combines AI analysis with spectral processing to create clarity between the two channels with precision, without causing audio problems. Depending on the type of sidechain signal, it automatically focuses on the most relevant frequency bands.
Key features (official):
- Automatic parameter setup for high-quality results
- AI-powered processing and sidechain-specific profiles
- Spectral unmasking and range control
- Adaptive resolution and speed settings
- Can be set up with minimal effort
pure:comp — AI-Powered Compressor (for Creators)

With intelligent algorithms, a unique learning feature and input-specific profiles, it delivers professional signal shaping without artifacts or over-compression. A single compression parameter integrates threshold / ratio / attack / release, and Style (clean / mixed / dirty) lets you choose the character of the compression. The Clarity parameter applies spectral compression to dynamically smooth out tonal imbalances. From giving 808s more punch to removing mud from a kick, its appeal is the convenience of combining all the common compression parameters in one.
Key features (official):
- Automatic parameter setup for high-quality results
- Intelligent processing and input-specific profiles
- Style control (clean / mixed / dirty)

AI analysis corrects volume fluctuations of vocals, dialogue, instruments and more in real time. You can achieve a natural volume balance with minimal effort, streamlining the foundation of your mix. It also features a group function that treats multiple tracks as a single element, so you can control backing vocals, guitar layers, synth stacks and the like together from a single instance window. Each track is stabilized individually while the final output level is controlled together. It is a highly practical level-adjustment tool that stabilizes the sound without losing the material’s inherent dynamics.
Key features (official):
- AI analysis and processing (content-aware leveling)
- Automatic leveling / level riding for a natural sound
- A group function that aligns the levels of multiple tracks

proximity:EQ+ — EQ That Edits a Source’s Sense of Distance
proximity:EQ+ is an EQ plugin that lets you reposition the spatial placement of a sound source in post-production. Its standout is an “acoustic zoom” that can bring a sound closer or push it back to blend it in. With control over both direct and reverberant sound, you can recreate a room’s acoustics however you like — turning a hazy recording into a vivid one, pushing a singer further back, or giving a muffled bass the kick it needs.
It has an 8-band linear-phase EQ (with proximity functionality on 4 of the bands), and uses frequency-selective de-reverb to precisely separate direct and indirect sound. For film post-production, it also features automatic generation of an acoustic fade-out (an atmospheric ambience effect).
Key features (official):
