Transient Designer Analog Code
®
Plug-in
Applications
Overview
The Transient Designer™ RTAS/AU/VST plug-in can be used with
any host application that supports VST (i. e. Cubase, Nuendo, Wav-
eLab, ...), AU (Apple Logic), or RTAS (Digidesign ProTools).
You can manipulate the attack and sustain characteristics of a
signal regardless of level in the most intuitive and simple way. Usu-
ally equalizers are used to separate instruments in a mix – the tonal
aspect of the signal is considered, but not the temporal aspect.
The Transient Designer now opens this next dimension in signal
processing. By manipulating the attack and sustain curves of a
sound event, the mix can be made to sound more transparent.
Instruments can be mixed at lower levels while still maintaining
their positions in the mix—but occupying less space.
The following examples are given as suggestions and examples.
The described procedures with specific instruments can of course
be transferred to others which are not mentioned here.
