Three Series, One Goal: The Right Plug-in for Your Workflow

At sonible, we’ve developed three distinct plug-in series – smart, pure and learn – each designed to suit different users, workflows and creative goals. While all series use our award-winning AI-powered processing, they differ in terms of control depth and guidance. Here’s a detailed breakdown to help you understand the differences and choose what’s right for you.

Why does sonible offer three plug-in series?

Audio production is a diverse field – from beginners exploring their first mixes to seasoned pros working under tight deadlines. We’ve designed three plug-in lines to meet the specific needs of:

• pure: Fast-paced creatives who want intelligent results with minimal setup.
• learn: Beginners and learners who want to improve their mixing skills while getting great sound.
• smart: Experienced engineers who need advanced tools with complete flexibility.

Each series shares our AI-based analysis engine at its core but tailors the user experience accordingly.

What is the pure series?

The pure series is designed for speed and simplicity. It’s ideal for those who need great sound quickly – whether you’re editing a podcast or delivering daily content for social media. Just select a profile, hit Learn and adjust a few high-level controls.

• One-dial simplicity: Easy-to-use interface.
• Three styles to explore different sound characters.

If you want quick, polished results without diving into technical details, pure is your go-to.

Best for:
Content creators, streamers, podcasters or musicians who want fast, pro-grade results with minimal effort

pure:bundle includes:
pure:EQ, pure:comp, pure:limit, pure:verb, pure:unmask, pure:deess

What is the learn series?

The learn series was created for anyone looking to improve their mixing skills while achieving great-sounding results. Whether you’re a student, hobbyist or music educator, the learn plug-in series provides intelligent processing with real-time visual feedback, guidance and a clear, user-friendly interface.

• Assisted View & Advanced view – designed for education and practical use.
• Three styles to explore different sound characters.
• Hints and visualizations to better understand how the processing affects your signal.

If you’re asking “What does this EQ band do?” or “How much compression is too much?”, the learn:bundle is for you.

Best for:
Beginners, learners, educators and home producers who want to understand audio processing

learn:bundle includes:
learn:EQ, learn:comp, learn:limit, learn:reverb, learn:unmask

What is the smart series?

The smart series offers maximum flexibility and precision. It’s built for users who know what they’re doing but want an intelligent tool to save time and enhance decision-making. The plug-ins generate tailored settings using AI, but every parameter can be manually adjusted in detail.

• In-depth parameter control
• Interactive visualizations
• Group processing (in some plug-ins)
• Custom learning targets and reference tracks (in some plug-ins)
• Mid/side, frequency-selective processing and more…

If you’re looking for AI-assisted tools with deep customization options, the smart series is your professional choice.

Best for:
Experienced audio professionals, engineers and producers.

smart:bundle includes:
smart:EQ 4, smart:comp 2, smart:limit, smart:reverb 2, smart:gate, smart:deess

Which plug-in series should I choose?

• You want quick, great sound with minimal setup:
  ➡ Use the pure series.
• You’re learning to mix and want clear explanations and visual feedback:
  ➡ Go with the learn series.
• You know what you’re doing and want deep control with smart starting points:
  ➡ Choose the smart series.

Can I mix and match?

Absolutely! Many users combine plug-ins from different series depending on the task. For example:

• Use learn:EQ to better understand tone shaping, then switch to smart:EQ 4 once you feel confident.
• Use pure:limit for quick demo production and smart:limit for mastering.
• Use pure:verb to quickly add space and smart:reverb 2 when you want a tailor-made reverb for more complex arrangements.
