de-artifact is Intrect's real-time cleanup for the residue generative models and lossy codecs leave behind. An HPSS split sends harmonic and percussive layers through ArtifactUNet. The masks drive spectral subtraction. You get separate reduction for each layer, eight factory presets, a residual monitor, and a four-band emphasis EQ that is inverse-filtered on the way out so the listener tone stays put.
The licence is $149 intro, $179 list, direct from Intrect. The 14-day trial is the full plugin. After that, a short silence lands every 60 seconds until you activate. Latency is 305 ms on macOS and 435 ms on Windows at 44.1 kHz, reported to the host. There is no AAX build and no Linux version yet.
Use it on a Suno, Udio, Stable Audio, MusicGen, or Riffusion mix, on a separated vocal, or on a low-bitrate encode. Use SpectraLayers 13 or RX 11 when you need to edit the spectrum by hand. Use ReStem 2 when the job is splitting drums, not cleaning them. The longer breakdown is the de-artifact first look.
