PUNCH

Add organic, musical punch and contour to your sounds, tracks, stems or mixes with our mastering-grade, intelligent impact inductor PUNCH. Built on our expertise in source separation, signal statistics, frequency-domain processing and filter design, PUNCH adds everything from airy snap to powerful long-attack compressor overshoot impact to smooth dynamics contouring of your audio easily, quickly and with zynaptiq quality.

PUNCH works equally well for individual sounds and complex material as it does for mixed music, even if excessive dynamics processing has been applied that would leave traditional transient shapers with nothing to work with, and applies its processing to all audio components separately, with up to more than one hundred bands of exquisitely engineered filtering. Add two alternative algorithms, a transparently sounding output clipper, support for up to 16 channels for immersive workflows, and our trademark workflow, and you're ready for punchy, present and transparent sound in seconds!

Specifications

PUNCH supports channel counts from mono to 16 for immersive workflows, and all common sampling rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz, depending on available CPU resources. PUNCH runs as 64-bit AAX Native, AU, and VST 3. The plug-in supports macOS 10.15.x or newer, on Intel & Apple Silicon processors, and Windows 10 or newer. PUNCH uses PACE copy protection, requiring a free ilok.com account, and can be activated to the hard drive of your computer or an iLok 2 or newer USB dongle. PUNCH is single user/seat licensed, but allows dual activations for convenience.
