Let’s examine how Animate can help you spice up your mixes.
Get your mix moving with Animate
Animate is a multi-purpose mixing plugin by Mastering The Mix. The plugin features four modules (Expand, Ignite, Punch, Grow) designed to add more energy, character, and movement to the processed audio signal.
This specialty modulation plugin is probably unlike any other tool in your mixing arsenal. It uses a combination of harmonic distortion, all-pass filtering, transient shaping, and upward expansion to enhance your audio while maintaining its musicality.
Whereas most similar audio enhancement plugins are simple one-knob affairs, Animate lets you fine-tune the intensity and response of each algorithm. This is particularly useful when you’re applying Animate to an already good-sounding mix that only needs a touch of polish to sound great.
I tested Animate on several projects I’m currently working on, including a bass-heavy cinematic soundtrack, an indie rock instrumental, and several cinematic sound effects I’m preparing for the next Flame Sound release.
What I loved about Animate is how it adds punch and presence to the signal without sounding unpleasant or overprocessed. Even when pushed hard, the sound remains natural and musical.
When mixing, we often search for a secret ingredient to enhance the sound of a track or the entire mix. Saturation, multi-band compression, and EQ are the obvious choices, but Animate offers a fresh alternative that sounds fantastic while being easy to use.
The interface is another one of Animate’s strong points. It’s intuitive and cleanly designed, with a straightforward control layout that you’ll figure out without reading the manual.
You can set the overall intensity of all four modules with a single slider control. After that, you can fine-tune the processing with the Knee, Ratio, and Attack/Release controls. You can also choose between Mono, Stereo, and Mid/Side processing.
Animate stands out from similar sound enhancement plugins thanks to its customizable dynamic and frequency-based response. It lets you precisely enhance or distort the loudest segments of a signal within a specific frequency range, providing an array of creative options for mixing and sound design.

Launch Schedule 🚀
Current status: 5,400 free licenses given away. We will release the remaining 20,000 licenses at 7pm GMT on February 24th.
Here’s the full launch schedule:
23rd Feb: 12pm GMT (CODE: BPB-ANIMATE-FS43)- 24th Feb: 7pm GMT (we are live!)
Message from Tomislav (please read): The giveaway generated a lot more interest than we expected, and the daily batches of 1,800 licenses were gone literally in a few minutes after launch. I apologize to all of you who came to get a free license and were left empty-handed. I know it sucks, but we had to limit it this way to prevent server overload.
We obtained additional server resources to give away all remaining licenses at 7pm on February 24th and hopefully let everyone get a free copy of Animate.
Also, Mastering The Mix is thrilled with the excitement around this deal. The 1,800 daily free licenses were being redeemed in the first 5 minutes, leading to many disappointed producers and BPB readers. So, Mastering The Mix has kindly given us 20,000 more licenses for ANIMATE (the original plan was to give away 10,500 licenses).
Once again, thank you for your patience, and my apologies to those who previously couldn’t redeem the code.
I’m sorry this giveaway didn’t run as smoothly as we expected. It’s not for the lack of trying; the demand was simply much higher than we anticipated.
I hope we will be able to fix this on February 24th.
Thank you for reading BPB! ❤️
The remaining 20,000 licenses will be given away at 7pm GMT on February 24th, 2023.
