A new plug-in from Newfangled Audio that offers a fresh, intuitive approach to dynamics control. Articulate uses advanced envelope detection to split incoming audio into four core components: Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release. With a workflow as familiar as a 4-band EQ, users can quickly shape transients, enhance tone, and fine-tune space in a mix. Each stage of the envelope can be adjusted independently with simple faders, makingit easy to add Smack, Punch, Body, or Air to any sound. Whether you're enhancingclarity, improving impact, or managing sustain, Articulate offers a fast and focused path to precise dynamic shaping. Producer and musician Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, NIN, St. Vincent) praisedArticulate, saying: “I’ve found my favorite tool for designing transients and envelopes. It gives you more control, a great sonic character, and an intuitive interface. Highly recommended.” The built-in Separation control adjusts how the envelope responds, allowing users tochoose between smooth, transparent shaping or more focused, aggressive transientcontrol. A studio-grade peak limiter, developed by the team behind the ElevateMastering Limiter, protects against clipping while preserving headroom and dynamicrange—even during intense processing. Features:• 50 presets with full-featured preset librarian• Easy independent envelope shaping (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release)• Simple sidechain detection for ducking and dynamic separation• Precise Separation control for natural or aggressive shaping• Solo & mute per envelope stage• Built-in peak limiter preserves headroom and prevents clipping• Customizable UI with three color palettes
