Transient Shaper Plugin

Using The Transient

Bring the initial strike of a drum forward, soften a sharp percussion hit or change how much body follows it. The Transient focuses on the envelope rather than an EQ balance.

A starting point

Adjust Attack while listening to the beginning of each hit, then set Sustain for the remaining body. Match the output and check that quieter hits still feel natural.
