Key Features
Sonnox Oxford Envolution (Native) is a frequency-dependent envelope shaper with independent control over transients and sustain sections. Taking transient processing to the next level, Envolution goes much further than offering simple control over the transient and sustain levels. Presented in a simple and intuitive interface with a graphic representation of your envelope shaping, Envolution enables you to target specific frequency ranges for both the transient and sustain portion of your signal, using either Tilt or Focus curves to adjust the frequency shaping.
Virtually any audio track with a defined attack and sustain envelope can be processed to perfection, making Envolution the ideal choice for music production and post-production. Insert on instrument busses to add global boosts to low-frequency transients for added sustain and bloom or surgically suppress the high-frequency transients of a single instrument.
A studio powerhouse, Oxford Envolution ascends to the apex of production tools with a wide range of features to suit any occasion. Listen to your envelope in isolation using the Difference control and add harmonic saturation to tame dynamic peaks after heavy transient boosting with the Warmth control. You'll quickly see why this is trusted by industry professionals in virtually every session.

What sets Envolution apart from other envelope shapers is the spectral shaping capabilities. Targetting specific frequencies to alter the curve and response of the transient and sustain offers a tremendous level of versatility that opens up a wide tonal palette for music production and post-production.
Using the frequency control, you can independently process the effect of the transient and sustain parameters in targetted frequency ranges. Featuring two types of curves, you can select Focus filtering which offers a single parametric band or a Tilt filter which offers a high or low-frequency bias across the entire spectrum. Ideal for suppressing resonant frequencies, Focus mode lets you dynamically reduce the transient of a specific frequency ring within a snare drum recording to achieve a more natural sustain than a typical gate or transient shaper could achieve. Tilt mode defaults to a slope of 6dB/octave but can be varied to a much higher degree. Perfect for crafting gentle changes across the full frequency range, the Tilt mode is ideal when working with full instrument mixes such as a drum bus to help add punch and sustain in the low-end whilst minimising the effect of cymbals.
Typically transient shapers/envelope shapers will be used exclusively for music producers, engineers and musicians for percussion or drum tracks. Envolution goes far beyond the basics that are possible with other transient shapers with the ability to process just about any sound source with a defined attack and sustain envelope. Perfectly suited to post-production as it is to traditional music production, Envolution can be used to reshape sound design elements from a film score or soundtrack. When used in its most basic function to alter the envelope, you can add tension and suspense to background ambience by reducing sustain to create rhythmical, pulsing textures. Exploring the full potential of Envolution, you can set instruments or sounds back within the mix, creating distance between the listener and the sound source by shaping high-frequency transients, removing the immediacy of the sound.
Outside of post-production, the Oxford Envolution performs flawlessly on most instrumentation found in a common music production mix. The flexibility of the frequency-dependent shaping will quickly lead Envolution to become your go-to when looking to add punch and sustain to drums or to remove unwanted ambience and decay to rhythmic tracks. Suppress the ring of a poorly-tuned snare drum, focus on the lower fundamental of your bass drum to add low-end punch, tighten up synthesizer stabs for a more pulsing and rhythmic tone or add sustain to piano performances for a greater sense of ambience. It's all possible with Envolution.
Supplied with a wide variety of presets for several different mixing applications, you can use these as an excellent platform to customise your audio or simply to discover the sonic possibilities of Envolution.
When boosting the transient attack of an audio track such as drums or percussion, the peak dynamic level will often be driven into digital clipping if pushed quite hard. To alleviate this problem, Oxford Envolution includes the Warmth control that applies a harmonic saturation-type process to subdue the peak levels of the accented transients. Introducing the Warmth control will absorb the peak signal while retaining the impression of more dynamic range and adding a subtle distortion character, making it ideal for drum shells and percussion tracks. When used in conjunction with the Mix control, you can blend in the warmth control in parallel with the rest of your transient shaping to maintain some dry signal for a more natural character.
