Since its introduction, Couture has been praised for its superb and precise sound. Couture gives you control over your dynamics, and particularly attacks. Laser-sharp. Couture’s 2-bands, half-spectral, RMS, program-dependent detector is the engine behind superior transient shaping.

Couture is very versatile:

• Make individual drum tracks a lot more dynamic and punchy
• Remove the “click” out of a kick drum sample
• Give life to inane lead synths and basses
• Make a whole bus more or less dynamic in a single click
• Give glue to a mix with light compression and saturation
• Use a subtle saturation that preserve dynamics
• Add attack then SMASH it with saturation all-in-one

Couture original point is to be independent from volume (including distortion). No gain staging required! Leading to less chance of ruining your mix later.

Couture comes with both Transient and Saturation sections to make related decisions at the same time.
