zplane Releases PEEL Spectral Isolator EQ

US Isolate, mute or process single instruments or vocal performances in audio recordings      18/12/20

zplane development has released PEEL, which they describe as a new spectral isolator EQ plugin that they say allows producers and musicians to get inside their audio recordings and isolate, mute or process single instruments or vocal performances from audio recordings.

zplane tells us that PEEL was inspired by the Focus EQ in their music learning software deCoda, a software tool that lets musicians learn new songs in no time. The Focus EQ helps musicians isolate the parts that they want to learn.

Tim Flohrer, CTO and co-owner at zplane, said, "deCoda users really liked the Focus EQ and we started thinking we could develop it further for music production too. The ability to solo, mute and process instruments and vocals from existing audio recordings opens up for countless creative possibilities and we can't wait to see what music producers will do with it."

Aside from isolating or muting sounds, zplane tells us that PEEL also has secondary outputs where the sound that's been taken out of the mix is routed. They say that this means producers can mute a vocal performance in a recording and route it to an audio track in their DAW for further processing: level, pan and effects without affecting the rest of the audio recording. Another example: isolate the snare from a drum loop and add reverb to the snare only.

PEEL is alsosaid to be  useful as a mix visualizer. Its spatial-frequency display will give a visual indication of many common problem areas in a mix.
