LANDR ReHance vs Zynaptiq UNVEIL

LANDR ReHance uses AI to analyze audio and remove unwanted artifacts such as background noise, clicks, pops, plosives, bleed and reverb. It is available in the LANDR Library online or as a plugin for a DAW, and LANDR says enhancement is unlimited in either format. Three intensity levels provide a choice of processing strength. The tool is described for podcasts, voice memos, field and home studio recordings, video audio and live recordings with instrument bleed. The plugin supports VST3, AU and AAX formats and works with major DAWs that support them. It requires macOS 10.15 or later or 64-bit Windows 10 or later, plus an Intel Core i5, AMD Ryzen 5 or Apple Silicon equivalent and 4 GB RAM. LANDR says the audio technology is powered by Insoundz. ReHance is not available in the LANDR App, though LANDR says it can be used in mobile browsers. A LANDR Studio subscription is required; the listed annual-plan price for a subscription including ReHance is $11.99 a month. A 3-day trial is offered for any Studio tier, and the subscription starts automatically unless cancelled before the trial ends.

Zynaptiq UNVEIL is a real-time de-mixing plug-in for adjusting reverb and other less perceptually important components in mixed audio. It can reduce or increase reverb, change its characteristics, and turn down components described as mud to bring recording details forward; those components can also be added back. The plug-in works with mono sources and channel counts up to the surround formats supported by the user's DAW. Zynaptiq says its processing uses proprietary, artificial-intelligence-based MAP technology. The 64-bit plug-in runs on macOS 10.15 or newer and Windows 10 or newer, with a two-core CPU minimum. A compatible 64-bit AU, VST, or AAX host processing audio as 32-bit float is also required. Formats differ by platform: macOS supports AU, AAX Native, VST 2.4, and VST 3; Windows supports AAX Native, VST 2.4, and VST 3. The license costs 269.00 USD once, and the latest version has a fully functional 30-day trial. Activation requires an iLok account and internet-connected computer, or a supported optional USB device.
