It couldn’t be any simpler

There are plenty of production tricks you can pull to add punch to your mixes, but Audio Assault has come up with a way for you to circumnavigate all of them and simply dial it in using a single knob.

The Punch is plugin that’s free until 10 July, after which it’ll cost $10. You can use it on individual tracks or your master bus; just set an amount from between zero and 100 percent.

The Punch is available for PC and Mac in VST/AU/RTAS/AAX formats and can be downloaded from the Audio Assault website.
