"ANIMATE can make delicate instruments more expressive and it can turn drum elements into savage pumping machines. A sound designer will love ANIMATE, and it belongs in many mixing engineer’s arsenal. Simply put, this kicks ass."Audio Plugin Guy. Passionate about Plugins.

"ANIMATE adds colour and depth to tracks in really expressive and musical ways whereas other plug-ins of this type can often touch the sound too much. ANIMATE, if used sparingly, lifts and energise tracks in a mix in ways that I have not experienced before."Pro Tools Expert . Home of the Expert blogs. Pro Tools Expert, Logic Pro Expert and Studio One Expert. The best tips, tricks, tutorials and news on the web.
ANIMATE helps you inject life into your mixes in a precise, versatile and colourful way. With four different movement modes, each with individual frequency assignments and mid/side functionality, you’ll get your music jumping out of the speakers precisely how you want.
Each individual module of the ANIMATE multi-effect plugin is also available as a separate product.
Expand mode allows you to dial in a pristinely clean sounding upward expansion. This increases the volume of signals over the threshold, giving your audio more dynamic range in a transparent way.
Punch mode enhances the transients of your audio to help them bite through the mix. Whether you want to subtly accentuate the high-frequency transients in the mid-channel of your master or bring out serious smack on an individual channel, Punch can handle the task.
Ignite mode allows you to dial in rich harmonic distortion in a dynamic way based on the input signal. Ignite can increase the perceived loudness, power and presence of a channel without the pumping effects of a compressor.
Grow mode lets you increase the width of the selected frequencies using a psychoacoustic precedence effect. Grow can be applied in a dynamic way meaning only the signal surpassing the threshold is widened. This along with the frequency selection gives you a new realm of movement to inject into your music.

Product Reviews
Mastering The Mix ANIMATE review by Audio Plugin Guy
Four Modules Once again a plugin creator takes it on themselves to rename common things. Expand is, I guess, expand, exaggerating the differences...
