Punch is an AAX audio plugin for Avid Pro Tools developed by Antares, designed for transient shaping and enhancement in audio mixing and mastering workflows. The plugin allows engineers and producers to boost or reduce the punch and impact of drums, percussion, bass, and other transient-rich sounds using intuitive controls for bias, smoothing, and spectral shaping. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPunch ships as a Universal Binary that includes both Intel and Apple Silicon native code. A native build has been confirmed in our community. To get the native version, download the latest installer from Antares (or Zynaptiq, the distributor) and re-run the plugin installer on your Mac — the Universal Binary will automatically install both architectures, and Pro Tools will select the native arm64 build on M-series Macs. Your iLok account will recognise your existing license during activation. If you originally installed Punch as part of an early-access AU version on Mac, note that versions 1.1.0 and newer include a migration helper to preserve session compatibility when moving from v1.0.0 projects — consult the migration guide on the download page if you have older sessions.
