A closer
look

Bus TRANSIENT gives you clear, direct control over the punch and sustain of your sound with a streamlined interface that makes the process effortless.

Overview

Bus TRANSIENT

1

Input

Check the input level and adjust the sensitivity to fine-tune the transient detection. At lower settings, only the loudest peaks are affected, while higher settings will capture more subtle dynamic details.

2

Visualizer

See your changes in real time with clear feedback on transient and body shaping. This allows you to immediately understand how your shaping is being applied to the waveform.

3

Transient and Body

Independently control the gain and timing of the attack and sustain portions of your sound. This is where you can add punch, reduce room noise, and sculpt the overall dynamic contour.

4

Tone

Brighten, darken, or thicken transients and the body with dedicated tone controls. Add a touch of air to an attack or warm up the sustain of an instrument.

5

Bands

Work in full-band mode for quick, broad adjustments, or split the spectrum into three bands for detailed, frequency-specific control over your dynamics.

6

Output

Finalize your sound with mix, clipping, and output level management. Use the built-in clipper to control peaks and add character, and blend with the dry signal for parallel processing.

Dual-stage
shaping

From the initial impact to the decaying tail, the Transient and Body modules work in tandem to give you complete control over the dynamic response of your audio signal.

Transient

The Transient stage lets you shape the very beginning of a sound.

Increase the slope angle to make drums more pronounced, or decrease it to soften harsh attacks and push elements back in the mix.

The time control lets you define the length of the attack, from a short, sharp click to a broader, punchier overall effect.

Body

The Body stage controls the sustain or resonance of the sound.

Reduce the gain to tighten up roomy drum breaks and tame excessive ringing, or boost it to add weight and extend the decay of instruments.

The time control defines how quickly the body shaping takes effect, allowing for everything from tight gating to smooth, natural-sounding fades.

Each sound, sculpted

Bus TRANSIENT gives you surgical control over the attack and body of any audio source. Whether you're working with drums, your mix bus, or bass, it's an essential tool for adding definition and life to your tracks.

Articulate your rhythms

Instantly tighten a loop by boosting transient gain while reducing the body. Go further with multi-band control: add weight to your kick by boosting the low-band, and tame harsh hi-hats by reducing high-band transients, for a perfectly balanced and dynamic groove.

Bus cohesion and polish

Add that final 5% to your master using subtle Tone adjustments to brighten or darken the mix. For transitions, get creative by reducing body gain and increasing the body time to create a breathing, sidechain-like pump that adds energy and movement.

A focused low end

Give your bass presence and power by driving the transient and body gains. Use the clipper to introduce soft harmonic distortion and warmth, creating a bass that hits harder and cuts through the mix without overpowering other elements.
