Articulate
More Than a Transient Shaper
Dynamics Made Easy
Take control of your mix with Articulate, the next generation envelope shaper that makes fixing dynamics as simple as using an EQ. More than a transient shaper, Articulate separates your audio into four bands: Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release. By dialing in the desired level on the corresponding fader, you can instantly add Smack, Punch, Body, and Air to your tracks.
Sound Examples
- Lock in your drums with precise envelope shaping. Tighten transients, trim decay, and keep your kick and snare punchy without spilling over.
- Articulate’s Sidechain mode reshapes envelopes using an external input. Tighten bass with a kick, clean reverb tails, and add groove without losing dynamics.
- Add snap and control to your synth plucks. Tweak decay and release for tight, rhythmic placement and clear space in the mix without relying on heavy EQ.
- Let the crunch hit just right. Fine-tune attack, decay, and release to bring messy or soft drums into focus without killing the vibe.
- Stop wrestling with your drum bus. Smooth harsh tails, control bleed, and sharpen transients while preserving dynamics. Every hit lands with precision.
- Shape room tone, soften harsh transients, and control string noise for an acoustic sound that’s intimate, polished, and full of character.
Four Sliders, Infinite Control
Tailor Your Signal
Fine-tune Articulate’s envelope response: Slide towards “Smooth” for natural, transparent shaping, or shift to “Focused” for precise control.
Studio-Grade Peak Protection
From the team behind the acclaimed Elevate Mastering Limiter, Articulate features a built-in peak limiter that effortlessly prevents unwanted clipping while preserving your dynamics.
Mix Integration
Articulate lets you shape your envelope based on the original audio or external sidechain signals. Resolve mix clashes, or make space in a crowded mix by ducking elements.
