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.

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.

Detect with Precision

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.

Tailor Your Signal

Fine-tune Articulate’s envelope response: Slide towards “Smooth” for natural, transparent shaping, or shift to “Focused” for precise, aggressive transient control.
