Intelligent Dynamics Contouring

Add organic, musical punch and definition to your sounds, tracks, stems, and mixes with PUNCH, a mastering-grade intelligent impact inductor. Built on expertise in source separation, signal statistics, frequency domain processing, and filter design, PUNCH adds everything from airy snap to powerful, long-attack compressor overshoot impact to smooth dynamics contouring to your audio—easily and quickly, with Zynaptiq quality.

PUNCH works equally well on individual sounds and complex material like mixed music, even when excessive dynamics processing is applied, rendering traditional transient shapers useless. It applies processing to every sound component independently using up to 100 bands of expertly engineered filtering. Add two alternative algorithms, a transparent output clipper, support for up to 16 channels for an immersive workflow, and our trademark workflow, and you'll achieve punchy, presentable, and transparent sound in seconds.

Features

Add audio punch to individual sounds or full mixes with adjustable release times, from very short snap transients to medium-length impact attacks and smooth dynamic extension.

Add airy presence, mid-range resonance, and meaty punch, contour your sound, or reduce the effects of over-compression in your mix—and everything in between. Intelligent, advanced, statistically-based CRYSTAL and SMOOTH processing algorithms with reconstruction based on 10 or 100+ ultra-clean, minimum-phase bands, respectively.

Easily perform frequency-dependent processing using the BIAS function and visual hover menu.

Transparent sound, oversampling, or multi-band output clipper.

Zero-latency processing.

Supports up to 16 channels for immersive workflows.

Optional 64-bit processing.

Fully vectorized GUI with up to 200% zoom.

System Requirements

Supports channel counts from mono to 16 for immersive workflows.

Compatible with all common sampling rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz, depending on available CPU resources.

Runs as 64-bit AAX Native, AU, or VST 3.

Supports macOS 10.15.x and later on Intel and Apple Silicon processors.

Supports Windows 10 and later. This software uses PACE copy protection, so a free iLok.com account is required.

Activate on your computer's hard drive or an iLok 2 or later USB dongle.

Single-user/seat license.

Allows dual activation for convenience.

Copy Protection

This software uses the latest PACE copy protection, allowing activation to be stored on your machine or an iLok 2* (or later version, not included). You'll need a free iLok.com account to use the software, even the demo version, but you don't necessarily need an iLok 2 dongle if your machine has internet access (an iLok 2 device is required for activation on systems without internet access). All required software is installed with the plug-in, but we generally recommend downloading the latest version directly from iLok.com.

Until 29th October.
