TS-64 Transient Shaper (Producer and Studio only)
Figure 418. TS-64 Transient Shaper
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.
