DIAL IN PUNCH AND DYNAMIC WIDTH
ANIMATE helps you bring energy and impact to your mix with four powerful modes for precision enhancement, ensuring your music connects with listeners.
Complete your sound with dedicated controls for PUNCH (transient enhancement), IGNITE (harmonic distortion), EXPAND (upward dynamics), and GROW (psychoacoustic widening). Target specific frequencies and use mid/side options to revitalize your sound exactly where it’s needed.
This essential mixing tool for dynamic control and track revitalization is yours for only $19 (regularly $66) for a limited time.

We've all been there: your mix is technically sound, but it just doesn't have the energy or character to grab the listener's attention. Adding dynamics and harmonic excitement is often the missing step, but traditional compressors and saturators can be imprecise or introduce unwanted pumping.
ANIMATE by Mastering The Mix is a multi-purpose mixing and mastering plugin designed to revitalise your music with precision. It gives you four powerful modes to enhance punch, add warmth, and widen your sound dynamically all in one place, and without phase distortion or transient smearing.
ANIMATE offers four dynamic modes, each allowing custom frequency targeting and Mid/Side processing, giving you surgical control over where and how energy is injected into your mix:
PUNCH Mode: Enhance the transients of your audio to help them bite through the mix. Use it to subtly sharpen high-frequency transients in a master or add serious smack to individual drums.
IGNITE Mode: Dial in rich harmonic distortion in a dynamic way based on the input signal. Ignite increases the perceived loudness, power, and presence of a track without the unwanted pumping effects of a compressor.
EXPAND Mode: Achieve a pristinely clean upward expansion. This transparently increases the volume of signals over the threshold, adding more dynamic range and excitement to your audio.
GROW Mode: Increase the width of selected frequencies using a psychoacoustic precedence effect. Grow can be applied dynamically, meaning only signals surpassing the threshold are widened, injecting subtle or dramatic movement into your music.
ANIMATE is a favorite among professional engineers for its transparency and musicality, even during the mastering stage. It utilizes innovative phase-reducing all-pass filters to dramatically minimize phase distortion, ensuring your transients remain intact and your music retains its impact.
If you want your music to stop sounding dull and start connecting with listeners, ANIMATE is an essential addition to your mixing and mastering chain. It provides the energy and impact needed to compete in today's demanding streaming market.
