by Audio Assault (Mac, Windows) My favorite freeware transient shaper plugin at the moment is Transient by Sleepy-Time Records (pictured below). It is a fantastic tool with a clean and simple user interface, featuring all of the controls needed for highly detailed tweaking of transients. Highly recommended! Another great one is Transient by Audio Assault, also recommended by our reader bmovie in the comments section below. Mac users will appreciate the fact that Audio Assault’s effect is also available as an AU plugin. Transient by Sleepy-Time DSP.
BitterSweet v3 by Flux has been around for quite a while (although it was recently updated to v3) and it is yet another great choice for a free transient shaper plugin. It was obviously designed with extreme ease of use in mind and lets the user control the transients using a single knob. Finally, dominion by digitalfishphones is a very old plugin (32-bit only), but still a really good tool if you can get it working in your DAW. Its developer is currently working for U-He, which is saying quite a lot about the quality of his DSP code. We should also mention the legendary Transient Monster virtual effect by Stillwell. The evaluation copy is fully functional and completely free to download from the developer’s website, but keep in mind that the full licence will cost you $49.
Finally, for those unfamiliar with how transient shapers actually work, here’s a nice video tutorial by ourmixtape. The rule of thumb is to keep your settings subtle and listen to the processed track in context of the full mix. Rules are there to be broken though, so always feel free to experiment and use the rules only as a guideline.
Back pocket punch and length I think we've all been at a place during a mix where the drums just need some smack that you just can't seem to dial in with a compressor. Enter the Transient Designer. Beyond drums, this swiss army knife tool has applications across the mixing spectrum.
The sustain knob is indispensable for delicate piano sounds in need of elongation and fluidity. I also love using it before a tape simulation, like the Studer A800 on a drum submix. By increasing the attack going into the tape machine, you can combat some of the transient softening associated with tape while still maintaining the warmth and saturation. You don't know this yet. But you need this plug. On everything Its probably quite easy to overlook this little gem of a plug. I know I did.
When you first arrive in UAD-land and are blinded by all the Neves and Manleys, the Studers and the Plates. And more Eqs than you can shake several sticks.
But whats this little unassuming silver delight, buried in the special processing pile? A transient designer you say? The antidote to compression? Master of punch? Tamer of slap?
Giver of control. Use sparingly on everything. I need this plug on a daily basis. There are times I've even wondered what it would do when inserted across my wife and kids? Attack set to - 5 The single most useful bread and butter plug that I never knew I needed. Best value per parameter This plugin must have the most uses per parameter of any plugin I own.
It can fix bad sounds, enhance good sounds, reduce ambience, give instruments more body, make instruments fit better in the mix (in many ways) and so much more. The Transient Designer has on multiple occasions fixed a problem with either a bad recording or a good recording of a bad instrument where other ways of processing just couldn't fix it. The only slight downside to the Transient Designer is that it doesn't always handle attacks the way I expect it to, but that might be due to unrealistic expectations. First off, a transient modulator is something you REALLY should have when you're mixing music, particularly to clean up the atmosphere of each drum sound, as transient modulators will allow you to add/remove snappiness from tracks to make all elements fit better in the mix - such as making a snare more snappy, while softening the attack of the hihats to make them sit further back in the mix. However, the available solutions on the market are not equally good; in fact they're VERY far from equals.
A thorough evaluation of Schaak Transient Shaper, Logic Enveloper, Cubase Envelope Shaper, Voxengo TransGainer, Sonnox TransMod (which ONLY lets you modify the ATTACK of a sound, but is very nice for that) and the SPL Transient Designer - a list which reads as the 'who's who' of transient modulators on the market - revealed that the latter UAD SPL Transient Designer was the ONLY one that produced a CONSISTENTLY CLEAN SOUND, free from artifacts or unpleasing distortion, whereas ALL the other ones that supported sustain produced crackling and muddyness. The SPL Transient Designer is consistently smooth as butter, and only uses two easy knobs: Attack and Sustain. Boost or cut either, and it does the job in an extremely clean and musical way, by having extremely accurate envelope followers 'ride' the gain knob for you, therefore affecting the attack and release in a very smooth way. There's NO other tool that even comes near the sound quality of the UAD SPL TD, period. I haven't even tried it on instruments YET. As i am a musician, and a sound designer / editor.
I just used it on my last edit, for an episode of the tv series 'copper'. In which there was a bare knuckle boxing match, and horse and carriage shoot out. I can't tell you how easy it was to use this plug to QUICKLY design sounds.
And yes, i asked our lead mixer about the SPL. Which he also uses to suck out ambience on dialog. I just immediately started using it and loving it. Very simple, very effective. Looking forward to using this and the IBP on drums!!!!! Paul shikata http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0793424/.
Private pixelmon servers list. Virtual servers are scalable virtual servers that are purchased with dedicated cores and memory allocations.
This Analog Code® plug-in is based upon the original analog Transient Designer from SPL which established the revolutionary concept for level-independent dynamic processing. Only two controls allow to completely reshape the attack and sustain characteristics of a sound: Attack can be amplified or attenuated by up to 15dB while sustain can be amplified or attenuated by up to 24 dB. Working with the Transient Designer is very simple, however, the possibilities for studio and live application are seemingly endless. Main Features: - SPL-modeled plug-in version of the original analog Transient Designer - Increase or decrease the impact of percussive sources - Reduces or increases room sound or preexisting reverb on virtually any source - Great gate substitute, minimizes mic bleed in seconds - An essential mix tool endorsed by the world’s finest professional engineers.
In the late '90s, SPL revolutionized the recording and live sound industries with their introduction of the Transient Designer. Birthing a sea change in dynamics processing, the analog Transient Designer and its plugin counterpart both use SPL's Differential Envelope Technology to produce level-independent dynamics processing. Unlike compressors, Transient Designer can transparently shape the attack and sustain characteristics of sounds no matter their level—jet engine-loud or whisper-quiet, constant or fluctuating—and without the need to fiddle with threshold, attack and release controls. In fact, Transient Designer uses only two primary controls—Attack and Sustain—to process dynamics.
In mere seconds, you can increase or decrease the attack portion of a sound up to 15 dB and simultaneously amplify or attenuate its sustain up to 24 dB. Make trap drums slam harder. Tame a ringing snare drum. Reduce excessive cymbal bleed into tom mics. Increase sustain on soaring guitar solos. Enhance crunchy pick strikes on electric guitar vamps. Make legato rhythm tracks pulse.
Reshape reverb envelopes for non-linear response. All with the twist of just two knobs. Now, with the release of the next-generation Transient Designer Plus, this venerated industry staple has become even more powerful. The new plugin has all the straightforward ease-of-use and speed of the original but adds potent new features that expand its uses exponentially. More Powerful and Versatile In Transient Designer Plus, the Output Gain control is placed before a new soft-clip limiter in the audio path. Say goodbye to lowering the fader for your track every time you boost the Attack or Sustain knob—the built-in limiter prevents digital clipping with all but the most extreme settings.
But the limiter is also your ticket to pumping out bigger, more colorful and aggressive-sounding tracks. Crank the Attack and Output Gain controls on kick and snare drums with the limiter switched in, and your drums will sound louder, punchier and fuller with subtle distortion on peaks.
A 10-segment LED-style ladder meter shows at a glance how much gain reduction the limiter is applying to the signal. Parallel processing has also never been easier or faster with Transient Designer Plus, because the routing is all set up for you behind the scenes and controlled by one knob, the new Parallel Mix control. Get ready for full-bodied, in-your-face guitar tracks! Dial in over-the-top Sustain, then lower the Parallel Mix control to blend the supersize sound with the guitar's dry sound. It's the best of both worlds: bigger-than-life tone, but with detail, dynamic range and phase coherency flawlessly preserved. Transient Designer Plus also adds powerful sidechain facilities that allow surgical, pinpoint processing that the original plugin and analog hardware could only dream of. On a submix for drums, switch in the internal sidechain's narrow bandpass filter and raise its center frequency to trigger enhanced attack on snare drum hits while leaving the kick drum virtually untouched.
Setup is incredibly easy: A Sidechain Solo function lets you hear the filtered sidechain signal as you sweep the center frequency, homing in on your desired trigger in seconds. Another extremely powerful feature in Transient Designer Plus is the new external sidechain input, which you can use to create ultra-tight grooves.

Make kick drum hits trigger decreased sustain on a bass guitar track to firm up a loose rhythm section and make it pulse. Or make a staccato guitar track attack harder whenever Latin percussion instruments enter the mix. Your rhythm tracks will sound better than ever before. New Undo and Redo functions—up to 32 steps for each—let you recover control setups you accidentally altered.
Automate separate A, B, C and D plugin setups for verse, chorus, bridge and outro of your song to make every second of your mix sound perfect. Along with the new soft-clip limiter, Parallel Mix control and internal and external sidechain functions, these professional features make the Transient Designer Plus the most versatile, musical, potent and easy-to-use Transient Designer yet. SPL hardware products can be found in the world’s most renowned facilities, and have become a staple for audio professionals ranging from home studio owners to top mastering engineers.
