Newfangled Audio Articulate Envelope Shaper Plug-in - Electronic Delivery

Take control of your mix with Newfangled Audio Articulate, the next generation envelope shaper that makes fixing dynamics as simple as using an EQ. More than a transient shaper, Articulate separates your audio into four bands: Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release. By dialing in the desired level on the corresponding fader, you can instantly add Smack, Punch, Body, and Air to any source.

SCULPT YOUR DYNAMICS

Articulate divides the envelope of any sound into four powerful segments: Attack (Smack), Decay (Punch), Sustain (Body), and Release (Air). Giving you direct control to enhance transients, boost presence, or subtly control sustain—dial in clarity, punch, and precision exactly how you want.

SIDECHAIN BETTER

Articulate’s versatile input detector lets you shape your envelope based on the original audio or sidechain signals. Sidechain detection is perfect for making space in crowded mixes—duck synths, bass, or effects precisely when your kick or vocal hits.

SMOOTH OR FOCUSED

Adjust the Separation control to fine-tune Articulate’s envelope response. Slide towards Smooth for natural, transparent shaping, or shift to Focused for precise, aggressive transient control—ideal for impactful drums, sharp plucks, or tight vocals.

MASTERING-GRADE PEAK CONTROL

From the people who brought you the acclaimed Elevate Mastering Limiter, Articulate’s built-in peak limiter effortlessly prevents unwanted clipping and preserves headroom, giving your transients room to breathe—even at extreme settings.
