Pure Amber is a spectral-shaping and resonance-control plugin for Windows made by Plea Tech, usually priced at $9.99, but is now available for free for a limited time.
You can now download it for free using the promo code “VI-CONTROL” for a limited time.
I’m not sure how long the promo code will remain active, so grab it while you can.
Pure Amber is available as a VST3 plugin for Windows.
Pure Amber is Plea Tech’s answer to resonance suppressors that leave you with a clean but lifeless mix.
The key to most things in music is balance, and sometimes, technically fixing a problem can suck the soul out of your music, and it’s about finding that sweet spot.
My initial thought on Pure Amber is that it looks like an incredibly well-put-together plugin.
On appearance, it doesn’t look like a $9.99 plugin; the interface looks great.
The first thing that stands out is the spectrum display, where you can see exactly what’s going on, and even draw custom suppression curves. Alternatively, you can choose from twelve available curve shapes.
The core controls are nice and clear:
- Dosage – master intensity
- Sensitivity/Resolution – these controls fine-tune what the plugin reacts to
- Safe Vitals – determines how deep any single frequency can be cut
- The Biopsy – delta mode (hear what the plugin is removing)
I like that all of the above controls, besides Dosage, are there to help maintain musical results, no matter how hard you push the intensity.
Pure Amber’s Mid/Side mode also helps you preserve the good stuff. In Mid/Side mode, the plugin splits your audio into eight bands of allpass decorrelation, tackling harshness while preserving your mono bass.
One of the features that interests me most is the Min/Pase/Variation Mode that the developer describes as “bringing life back to digital.”
In the mode, the plugin adds subtle movement to frequency bins that are being suppressed. This movement could be an ideal way to maintain a seemingly organic sound when you have to make very aggressive cuts.
I’m interested to hear how Windows users get on with that feature.
I’m also interested in hearing what you make of the Auto Pilot mode with a multi-pass learning engine; let me know how well it works for speedy results.
With everything working as it should, it seems to me like Pure Amber would be a good buy for $9.99, so grabbing it for free should be a no-brainer.
