Audio technology innovators Eventide have announced the release of Articulate, "a new plug-in from Newfangled Audio that offers a fresh, intuitive approach to dynamics control. Articulate uses advanced envelope detection to split incoming audio into four core components: Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release. With a workflow as familiar as a 4-band EQ, users can quickly shape transients, enhance tone, and fine-tune space in a mix."
"Each stage of the envelope can be adjusted independently with simple faders, making it easy to add Smack, Punch, Body, or Air to any sound," they say. "Whether you're enhancing clarity, improving impact, or managing sustain, Articulate offers a fast and focused path to precise dynamic shaping.
Producer and musician Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, NIN, St. Vincent) praised Articulate, saying: “I’ve found my favorite tool for designing transients and envelopes. It gives you more control, a great sonic character, and an intuitive interface. Highly recommended.”
