Maximum Envelope-sculpting Power
When it comes to sculpting transients and sustain, the Noiseworks Shaper Bundle provides you with a powerful toolkit that’s guaranteed to streamline and elevate every aspect of your production process. For starters, Enshape simplifies compression by eliminating the need for threshold dialing, instead shaping dynamics through intuitive Attack and Release parameters that tame transients or enhance sustain. Beyond that, TranSplit offers high-resolution transient shaping that separates Punch and Body components for intuitive blending, with exacting control over Sensitivity, Trigger, and Length. Together, these two plug-ins form a powerful, end-to-end solution for engineers seeking maximum envelope-shaping power.

Noiseworks Enshape
Achieving uniform compression across a vocal track can be challenging — especially if you’re working with an especially dynamic performer. Enter Noiseworks Enshape. This plug-in has become a crucial part of our mixing workflow here at Sweetwater, enabling us to compress and shape vocal tracks, even unusually erratic ones, without having to dial in a hard-to-pin-down threshold parameter. Enshape is a breeze to use — simply deploy it as the first compressor in your vocal chain, and it will deliver smooth dynamics control effectively and consistently. It operates using four key parameters — Attack and Release for both the Input Envelope and Target Envelope — which determine how the original signal is captured and how its dynamics are adjusted. Want to reduce transients? Use longer Attack settings. Aiming for enhanced sustain? Try longer Release settings. Either way, Enshape makes nailing the sound you hear in your head an incredibly straightforward affair. Dynamic vocal shaping with Enshape — it’s what your vocal tracks are missing.
Noiseworks TranSplit
Whether you want to add punch to drums or lengthen the decay of your cymbals, Sweetwater recommends a top-caliber transient-shaping plug-in, such as Noiseworks TranSplit. With this state-of-the-art plug-in, you’ll gain fine-tuned control over the attack and sustain of your signal. TranSplit samples dynamics in high resolution and then separates them into Punch and Body components that you can then blend using a single intuitive slider. Additionally, you get Sensitivity, Length, and Trigger controls, enabling you to modify how precisely the transients are detected, adjust the fade‑out of transient material, and focus processing toward specific frequency areas, such as kicks or crashes. Engineers searching for a fast, simple, and highly flexible punch-and-body balancer will find that TranSplit ticks all the right boxes.
