What ANIMATE Does ANIMATE consolidates four enhancement processors into a single plugin: IGNITE (harmonic distortion), GROW (stereo widening), PUNCH (transient enhancement), and EXPAND (upward expansion). Each mode includes frequency targeting so processing is applied only to the bands you choose. Four Modes IGNITE — Dynamic harmonic distortion for adding richness and perceived weight. GROW — Frequency-specific stereo widening using a psychoacoustic precedence approach. PUNCH — Transient enhancement for bringing rhythmic elements forward. EXPAND — Upward expansion that lifts signals above the threshold, useful for restoring dynamics.
