Newfangled Audio Articulate

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.

Producer and musician Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, NIN, St. Vincent) praised
Articulate, saying: “I’ve found my favorite tool for designing transients and envelopes. It gives you more control, a great sonic character, and an intuitive interface. Highly recommended.”

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.

Features:
• 50 presets with full-featured preset librarian
• Easy independent envelope shaping (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release)
• Simple sidechain detection for ducking and dynamic separation
• Precise Separation control for natural or aggressive shaping
• Solo & mute per envelope stage
• Built-in peak limiter preserves headroom and prevents clipping
• Customizable UI with three color palettes
