Sonnox Oxford Envolution – Frequency-Dependent Envelope Shaper (Native, Download)

The Sonnox Oxford Envolution is a plug-in that goes beyond traditional envelope shaping by providing comprehensive control over the transient and sustain portions of an audio signal. Attack, hold and release can be independently adjusted, with the transient and sustain processing applied optionally in the frequency domain.

There are two modes for selecting which frequencies to process. A broader tilt mode and a more focused parametric-style mode both achieve their purposes without splitting the signal into separate bands, allowing them to be both freely used in parallel routing configurations, without creating phase-cancellation problems.

The plug-in can be inserted on a track, bus, or master output to add presence or distance to drums, piano, guitar and any other percussive content. Additionally, the software can be used to dampen excessive ambience or conversely allow the ambience to bloom. A difference button helps zero in on a particular effect, or the result can be used as an effect in and of itself.
