New features in SONAR 8.5

TS-64 Transient Shaper plug-in

The TS-64 Transient Shaper plug-in provides powerful control over the dynamics of audio tracks and

mixes.

In a musical context, the term transient refers to a sudden increase in sound output that occurs for a

short period of time. For example, the attack portion of a drum hit is a transient.

Unlike a typical compressor, TS-64 Transient Shaper lets you shape the audio signal’s attack phase

independently of the decay/sustain phase.

TS-64 Transient Shaper is primarily designed for drums and percussion, but can also be useful on

other percussive sounds, such as guitar and electric piano.

TS-64 Transient Shaper features include:

• Powerful envelope/transient-detection.

• Linear-phase filtering.

• Gain-shaping.

• Shape the transients independently of the tail or ambience.

• Automatable parameters.

• Smooth, zipperless output.
