Eventide Audio is offering a 50% discount on Newfangled Audio’s auditory transient shaper plugin. A multi-band transient modulator based on the critical bands in the human ear, the intelligent algorithms of Punctuate allows users to control the transient emphasis or suppression of all 26 critical bands with just 4 controls. This makes for an incredibly powerful, but very easy to use, transient modulator.
Transient shapers are used by top mix engineers to either crank up or soften the transients of instruments, emphasizing either the attack or sustain. However, traditional transient shapers work on the whole signal at once, modulating the whole frequency range when the transient snap is only happening in one band.
Punctuate uses a model of the human ear to run a set of transient shapers across the whole spectrum of human hearing. This allows you to tailor the attack of a whole range of instruments, busses, and whole mixes without messing with the entire frequency range. The result is unparalleled transient shaping power-focused where you need it, and not where you don’t.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX), Punctuate is priced $49 USD at the Eventide store and from Plugin Boutique until September 2nd, 2025 (regular $99 USD).
