ANIMATE Black Friday pricing is 50% off, $39.50, with the deal ending Nov 9, 2026, on Mastering The Mix's four-mode multi-effect plugin.
ANIMATE is a multi-effect plugin built to put movement into a mix. The maker describes it as precise, versatile and colourful.
It has four movement modes. Each mode gets its own frequency assignment and mid/side functionality, so you decide which part of the spectrum moves and whether it happens in the mid or the sides.
Each module of the ANIMATE plugin is also sold as a separate product.
Expand raises the level of anything over the threshold. That gives the audio more dynamic range, and the maker says it does so in a transparent way.
Punch enhances transients so they cut through. You can use it lightly on the high-frequency transients in the mid channel of a master, or push it harder for serious smack on a single channel.
Ignite adds rich harmonic distortion that responds to the input signal. ANIMATE is billed as a way to make a channel sound louder, stronger and more upfront while avoiding the squashed, breathing artifacts typical of compression.
Grow widens only the frequencies you select. It can also work dynamically, so only the signal that passes the threshold gets wider.
That pairing of threshold and frequency selection is what the maker means by a new realm of movement. A bass-heavy bus can stay put in the centre while the upper mids open up.
Because every mode has its own frequency assignment and mid/side control, you can stack different moves on different parts of the signal. Expand the lows, add Punch to the top end of the mid channel, and let Grow work on the sides.
The ANIMATE plugin sits on a single track, a bus or the master, and the maker's own examples cover both a subtle touch on a master and heavy work on an individual channel.
Yes. The ANIMATE Black Friday deal takes 50% off Mastering The Mix's multi-effect plugin, bringing it to $39.50. The offer ends Nov 9, 2026.
ANIMATE has four movement modes: Expand, Punch, Ignite and Grow. Each one has its own frequency assignment and mid/side functionality, so you can aim every effect at a specific part of the spectrum.
Yes. If you only need one mode from ANIMATE, the developer sells its modules on their own, so buying the full multi-effect plugin isn't required.
Ignite adds rich harmonic distortion that reacts dynamically to the input signal. The maker says it can increase a channel's perceived loudness, power and presence without the pumping effect a compressor can bring.
