PUNCH
Intelligent Dynamics Contouring
Add organic, musical punch and contour to your sounds, tracks, stems or mixes with a mastering-grade, intelligent impact inductor PUNCH. Built on an expertise in source separation, signal statistics, frequency domain processing, and filter design, PUNCH adds anything from airy snap to beefy long attack compressor overshoot impact to smooth dynamics contouring to your audio easily, quickly, and with zynaptiq quality.
PUNCH works equally well for individual sounds and complex material like mixed music, even if excessive dynamics processing was applied that would leave traditional transient shapers nothing to go on, and applies its processing to all sound components separately, with up to more than a hundred bands of exquisitely engineered filtering. Throw in two alternative algorithms, a transparent sounding output clipper, support for up to 16 channels for immersive workflows, and our trademark workflow, and you're all set for punchy, present and transparent sound in seconds!
Features
- Add punch to your audio, with adjustable release time ranging from very short snaptransients via medium length impact attacks right up to smooth dynamics expansion, for individual sounds or full mixes.
- Add airy presence, mid-range twang, meaty ooomph, give your sounds more contour, or reduce over-compression effects on mixes...and anything in-between.

Copy Protection
This software uses the latest PACE copy protection, which allows you to place your activation on your machine or on an iLok 2* (or newer; not included). You will need a free iLok.com account to use our software, even for the the demos - but you do not necessarily need the iLok 2 dongle, if your machine has internet access (activation of a system without internet connectivity requires an iLok 2 device). All required software is installed along with our plugins, but we generally recommend downloading the latest versions directly from iLok.com.
