Newfangled Punctuate - Auditory Transient Shaper. Elevate your mixes to new heights with Punctuate, the revolutionary multi-band transient shaper based on human auditory perception. Unmatched Precision and Control: 26 Critical Bands: Punctuate breaks your audio down into 26 frequency bands that align perfectly with the way humans hear. This allows you to target specific instruments and sonic elements for meticulous transient shaping. Intuitive Interface: Achieve complex results with remarkable ease. Punctuate offers just four controls that provide comprehensive control over transient emphasis or suppression for all 26 bands simultaneously. Tailored Transients: Traditional vs. Revolutionary: Unlike conventional transient shapers that affect the entire signal, Punctuate's band-based approach allows you to sculpt the attack of individual instruments, busses, or your entire mix without unwanted side effects. Unparalleled Power: Raise or lower the overall drum level in a mix. Emphasize the kick drum without altering the bass. Extract hi-hats from the snare microphone bleed. Independently control the crack and body of the snare. Bring acoustic guitars and pianos to the forefront or push them back in the mix. Revitalize lifeless or overly compressed mixes. Scientific Foundation: Mel Scale Technology: Punctuate leverages the Mel Scale, a model of human hearing, to ensure all frequency bands are perceived as evenly spaced. This translates to natural-sounding results. Linear Phase FIR Filters: Experience exceptional audio fidelity with Punctuate's linear phase FIR filters. These filters provide an accurate representation of your processing on the screen, unlike traditional IIR filters used in many graphic EQs. Triangular Filters: Punctuate utilizes triangular filters, closely resembling the critical bands of the human ear. This ensures natural-sounding transient shaping without introducing artifacts. Advanced Features for Demanding Workflows: Adaptive Transient: Fine-tune the interplay between bands using the Adaptive Transient control. This allows you to maintain independent control for maximum precision or couple them for smoother processing. Transient Length and Adaptive Controls: Refine the duration of the transient impact with dedicated controls for transient length and its adaptive behavior. Detailed Visual Feedback: Gain valuable insights into your processing with the scrolling meter display, which showcases the transient modulation within each band. Parallel Processing: Explore creative possibilities with the Mix control, allowing you to blend the processed signal with the original for subtle or drastic changes. Mastering-Grade Quality: Benefit from the same top-tier input and output sections found in all Elevate plugins, ensuring pristine audio quality. Solo and Band Reconfiguration: Dive deeper into sound design by soloing and rearranging individual bands for unique sonic sculpting. Tech Specs: Mac: OS X Windows: Windows Plugin Formats: VST-2, VST-3, AU, AAX Punctuate empowers you to: Achieve unparalleled control over the attack and sustain of your instruments. Breathe new life into your mixes with precise transient shaping. Deliver natural-sounding results that resonate with your listeners. Experience a streamlined workflow with an intuitive and powerful interface.
