Punctuate: Multi-Band Transient Shaper by Newfangled Audio Free Download

Punctuate works on transients band by band rather than across the full spectrum. Newfangled Audio describes the processing as auditory modeling, meaning its changes are designed to sound natural even when pushed hard.

The plugin's intelligent adaptive algorithms govern all 26 transient shapers through just four controls. That keeps the interface simple while still giving broad, multi-band influence over the dynamics of the signal.

Integrated metering shows what the algorithm is doing at any moment, which helps you judge how much emphasis or suppression is being applied.

Punctuate can be used on one channel or on a whole mix bus, depending on how you route it in your session. The four main controls cover the broad adjustments, while the metering gives visual feedback on the processing.

For more detailed work, a Filter Bank page lets you modify the band filters and solo each channel. This is optional, so you can keep to the simple four-control workflow or dig into the band-level settings when you need precision.
