Sonible builds AI-powered audio plugins — smart:EQ, smart:comp and more — that listen to your audio and set processing automatically.
Sonible’s smart plugins analyze the input signal and propose parameter settings as a starting point, turning hours of knob-twiddling into a click. The line covers EQ, compression, reverb, de-essing and limiting, each with a learning mode that profiles the material. Engineers keep full manual control after the AI suggests a state. The plugins run in all major DAWs and are popular with musicians and post-production professionals alike.
Sonible plugins are sold individually and in bundles as perpetual licenses with free updates within major versions.
Music producers, mix engineers and audio post professionals who want AI speed with professional-grade sound quality.
Sonible offers a free entry plugin (smart:EQ free) and trials; full versions are paid licenses.
No. Sonible ships as audio plugins rather than API services.
Sonible’s AI suggests rather than locks, which is why professional engineers adopt it where fully automatic mastering tools feel limiting.
Mix engineers load smart:EQ on a vocal chain and accept the analyzed starting point before fine-tuning by ear. Producers use smart:comp to transparently control dynamics across a mix bus. Post teams clean dialogue with learned profiles. Students learn mixing fundamentals by comparing AI-suggested settings with their own.
AI suggestions are starting points, not finished mixes, and plugin licenses are per-plugin purchases. Engineers with established chains may adopt selectively. FabFilter, iZotope and Waves offer competing AI-assisted processing.
Sonible plugins install into standard VST, AU and AAX hosts, working inside existing DAW sessions without workflow disruption. Licensing activates per machine, with trials available for evaluation. Learning modes run on audio within the session, and suggested settings can be saved as presets across projects. There is no cloud deployment — processing happens locally, which suits offline studio work. Ongoing use involves updating plugins within version releases and building preset libraries per genre or project.
Sonible’s smart plugins strike the best balance between AI assistance and engineer control, which is why professionals adopt them. They accelerate mixing without dictating taste. Beginners gain excellent starting points; experts gain time. The per-plugin pricing adds up but matches the quality.
