The result is unparalleled transient shaping power-focused where you need it, and not where you don’t. This allows you to tailor the attack of a whole range of instruments, busses, and whole mixes without messing with the entire frequency range. Punctuate uses a model of the human ear to run a set of transient shapers across the whole spectrum of human hearing. 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.

Transient shapers are used by top mix engineers to either crank up or soften the transients of instruments, emphasizing either the attack or sustain. This makes for an incredibly powerful, but very easy to use, transient modulator. Punctuate’s intelligent algorithms allow you to control the transient emphasis or suppression of all 26 critical bands with just 4 controls. Based on the Transient Emphasis section of the award-winning Elevate Mastering Limiter, Punctuate is a multi-band transient modulator based on the critical bands in the human ear.
