Techivation releases M-Puncher 2

Techivation has announced the release of M-Puncher 2, the latest addition to their M-series of plug-ins. This new transient shaper is designed to provide precise control over track's attacks and sustain, enhancing impact without increasing peak levels. M-Puncher 2 incorporates features such as tonal shaping for attacks, frequency-dependent targeting, and intelligent setting suggestions to streamline the mixing process.

A key development in M-Puncher 2 is its capacity to deliver enhanced punch whilst maintaining original peak levels. Users seeking the traditional attack amplification effect can utilise the "Peak Boost" parameter for controlled peak increase. The plug-in also introduces a "Thump-Presence" slider, offering refined tonal control over transients by allowing adjustments to low-end weight or high-end brilliance without affecting the overall tonal balance.

M-Puncher 2 integrates an intelligent Mix Assistant powered by machine learning. Mix Assistant analyses the audio and proposes initial settings to optimise the user's workflow. The updated interface includes a waveform visualiser, providing clear visual feedback on the plug-in's operations. Techivation says these additions position M-Puncher 2 as a comprehensive tool for advanced dynamics manipulation.
