Customise dynamics with ease
Punch makes shaping audio dynamics straightforward. Adjustable release times allow you to create sharp, snappy transients or smooth, natural-sounding dynamics. It’s a versatile tool suitable for fine-tuning individual sounds or rebalancing the dynamics of complete mixes with precision and control.
Enhance sound with contour and depth
Capable of delivering airy presence, defined mid-range, or rich low-end, Punch offers versatile shaping for your tracks. It gives you the flexibility to refine your sound, reducing over-compression effects or adding life to flat audio. You can dial in anything from subtle tonal adjustments to impactful transformations, keeping your workflow efficient and results transparent.
Intelligent processing for flawless audio
The CRYSTAL and SMOOTH algorithms form the heart of Punch’s processing power. CRYSTAL uses 10 frequency bands for crisp, clean results, while SMOOTH employs over 100 bands for detailed, phase-coherent shaping. Even complex, heavily processed audio benefits from Punch’s ability to separate and refine each component for outstanding clarity and presence.
Professional workflow-ready
Punch is optimised for modern audio workflows, with support for up to 16 channels—ideal for immersive projects. Its near-zero latency ensures seamless performance in real-time settings, while the transparent output clipper provides polished results. Plus, its vectorised GUI, with zoom up to 200%, ensures you stay in control, even during intricate edits or long sessions.
