Description
The Sonnox Oxford Envolution is a dynamic envelope shaper designed for precise, creative control over transients in your audio mix. This powerful tool allows you to independently shape the attack and sustain characteristics of sounds, bringing life, depth, and clarity to drums, guitars, vocals, and more. With its intuitive interface, Envolution provides full-spectrum frequency control, making it versatile for a wide range of audio production applications. Whether you’re boosting punch in percussive elements or subtly enhancing the presence of an instrument, Envolution’s tailored frequency shaping empowers you to create high-impact mixes effortlessly.
Ideal for both beginners and seasoned professionals, Envolution’s adaptive control system allows you to target specific frequency ranges without compromising the integrity of the overall sound. It’s compatible with leading DAWs, ensuring seamless integration into any studio setup. Designed with Sonnox’s industry-leading DSP technology, Envolution minimizes CPU load while delivering pristine audio quality. Perfect for music producers, audio engineers, and sound designers, this plugin is an essential tool for refining dynamics and achieving a polished, professional mix in any project.
Limitless Envelope Shaping Possibilities
Where traditional envelope shapers offer limited refinement, Envolution empowers you with the creative freedom to fine-tune every aspect of your sound’s envelope, from attack to sustain, across different frequency bands. With precision controls and Envolution’s Warmth feature, you can add cohesion, glue, and punch to your transients, all without the risk of overloading. Whether you want bold, dynamic impact or subtle refinements, Envolution puts total creative power in your hands.
Another excellent and genuinely useful tool from Sonnox that has applications across a range of percussive and plucked or struck sounds. Sound On Sound Magazine
Key Features
-
Frequency-Dependent Shaping
Fully control individual frequency ranges within the envelope to create unique textures and sonic signatures. Boost the punch of a kick drum without adding excess low-end weight, tighten up the lower frequencies of a snare for added clarity, or easily manage toms’ resonance. Envolution’s frequency-dependent controls allow for precise sculpting, ensuring every frequency fits perfectly within your mix.
-
Harmonic Saturation
Envolution’s Warmth feature adds harmonic richness and depth to both transient and sustained sections, bringing a subtle analogue character to your sound. Whether you’re looking to breathe life into flat, digital tracks or smooth out harsh transients, Envolution helps you add dimension, texture, and musicality to every element of your mix.
Subtle, aggressive or anything in between… all sounding brilliant. Pro Tools Expert
Oxford Envolution Reviews
-
"I've been combing through recordings tracked years ago, using Envolution to fix everything in my life that I've done wrong; murky pianos, lifeless room mics, bass amps (whoa!), and of course, the damn kick drum. I love Envolution. Not only a great fixing tool, but also an extremely creative one too."
TapeOp Magazine -
