The real question, of course, is how it fares in comparison to the original hardware version. Although it was introduced over 12 years ago now, the SPL Transient Designer was revolutionary in concept: a level-independent dynamic processor that allowed you to adjust the attack and sustain portions of an audio signal. Add smack and bite to drums, loops, synth hits and all percussive sounds by designing the level, shape and duration of their transients’ attack and sustain – from surgical tweaks to savage effects. The first attack, initial hit or onset of a sound is known as its ‘transient.’ By controlling the exact level, shape and d. Oct 11, 2010  Skip trial 1 month free.

In this edition of our free VST plugins roundup, let’s take a look at the best free transient shaper VST and AU plugins for compatible digital audio workstations on Windows and Mac.

If you’re looking for a high-quality freeware transient shaper to add to your arsenal, you came to the right place. But for those unfamiliar with this particular type of mixing tool, here’s a short introduction. A transient shaper is a dynamics processor used for adjusting the attack and the decay of the processed audio signal without affecting the rest of it. A transient shaper detects the “transient” portion of a sound and allows the user to make it sound louder or softer. This effect is often used on drums (for making snares and kick drums sound more punchy, for example), as well as bass guitars, percussion, and other types of audio material which could benefit from transient processing.

Free Transient Shaper Vst

Quality transient shapers were hard to find in the freeware domain until not so long ago. However, we have access to a great selection of freeware transient shaper plugins nowadays. Our favorite ones are listed below. If you’d like to suggest another plugin that should be included in this article, please feel free to leave a comment. Thank you!

BitterSweet v3 by Flux (MacOS, Windows)

BitterSweet v3 has been around for quite a while (although it was recently updated to v3) and still remains of the best choices for a free transient shaper plugin. It was obviously designed with extreme ease of use in mind, allowing the user to control the transients using a single knob. Turning the main control knob towards the left (Sweet) will tame the transients whereas turning it to the right (Bitter) will make the transients more prominent. If you enjoy a quick and efficient workflow, you will instantly fall in love with BitterSweet v3.

There’s more to Flux’s freeware transient shaper than that, though. The plugin features three different transient processing modes (Fast, Medium, and Slow) which make it capable of handling different types of audio material. Sylenth1 2.2 vst free download. The fastest setting works best on drums and percussion, whereas the slower settings are more suitable for processing bass guitars, synthesizers, and similar instruments. The transient detection period can be adjusted by the user as well. It is also possible to link the output gain control to the main transient shaping control, ensuring that the processed signal retains its loudness.

Pros
+ Simple and intuitive user interface
+ Efficient workflow

Couture Free Edition by Auburn Sounds (MacOS, Windows)

Couture Free Edition is a superb freeware transient shaper developed by Auburn Sounds. It is based on the full version of Couture (49 EUR) which adds a saturation module to the core feature set. That said, the Free Edition isn’t limited in any other way, so don’t expect to see any nag screens or similar annoyances.

The transient shaper section of Couture features adjustable transient speed and optional clipping of the output signal. The transient adjustment knob comes with a scaling switch (x1, x2, and x3) which is useful for making both super precise and broad volume changes, depending on the user’s needs. The plugin features three transient detection modes (Flat, Human, and Sybil) and a bass amount knob. Also included are real-time waveform displays for both the input and output signals.

Pros
+ Precise transient control with x3 scaling
+ Real-time waveform display
Cons
– The saturation module only available in paid version

Transient by Sleepy-Time DSP (Windows)

Transient by Sleepy-Time Records is a freeware transient shaping tool with a somewhat advanced control scheme. It features all of the control parameters required for highly detailed tweaking of the transients. In addition to the standard attack and sustain volume settings, the plugin also allows for envelope timing adjustments, transient monitoring, and offers an adjustable transient detection range. A pair of filters (high-pass and low-pass) is also included for setting the frequency range of the processed signal.

On the negative side, Transient will only work on Windows, so MacOS users are out of luck in this case. Both 32-bit and 64-bit digital audio workstations on Windows are supported, though. In summary, if you’re a Windows user looking for a more advanced freeware transient shaper, you should definitely give Transient a try.

+ Advanced controls for experienced users
+ Great control layout
Cons
– Only works on Windows

Honorable Mentions

In this section, we will mention a couple of freeware transient shapers which are a bit too old to be listed in the main part of the list. They do, however, still sound very good and are a great fit for users with older computers (especially 32-bit Windows machines).

  • One of our all-time favorites, dominion by digitalfishphones is a very old plugin (32-bit only), but still a really good tool if you can get it to work in your DAW. Its developer is currently a team member at U-He, which is saying quite a lot about the quality of his DSP code.
  • We should also mention the legendary Transient Monster transient shaper by Stillwell. The evaluation copy is fully functional and completely free to download from the developer’s website. However, keep in mind that the full license will cost you $49.

Paid Transient Shapers

  • Transient Shaper ($89) by Softube is a dual-band transient processing plugin capable of focusing on a specific frequency range. This is useful if you want to, say, make a snare sound more “snappy” without touching its low-frequency content. The plugin also features a distortion module which saturates the signal before it hits the output.
  • TS-1 Transient Shaper ($45) by Audiority is an affordable multi-mode transient shaper with multiple shaping algorithms. It is optimized for adding warmth and punch to acoustic and electronic drums while preserving the dynamics.
  • DS-10 Drum Shaper ($49.95) by XLN Audio is a transient shaper designed specifically for processing drums. It features multiple processing modes, depending on whether the user is looking for a more natural or a more dramatic sounding result.
