Articulate is 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. Whether you're enhancing clarity, improving impact, or managing sustain, Articulate offers a fast and focused path to precise dynamic shaping.
The built-in Separation control adjusts how the envelope responds, allowing users to choose between smooth, transparent shaping or more focused, aggressive transient control. A studio-grade peak limiter, developed by the team behind the Elevate Mastering Limiter, protects against clipping while preserving headroom and dynamic range—even during intense processing.
