Description
Optimized Transient Processing
Transperc shines through its streamlined approach to transient shaping, designed to bring out the best in percussive elements. The plugin’s wet signal chain begins with an optional filter section (low-pass or high-pass), allowing users to focus on specific frequency bands for more targeted processing. This is followed by attack and sustain controls, complete with adjustable detection speed to align with the dynamics of any audio material.
The output section enhances its usability with separate controls for blending the dry and wet signals, overall gain adjustment, and an optional hard clipper to add extra punch. This robust setup ensures Transperc can seamlessly integrate into any mix, whether enhancing individual drum hits or reshaping more complex audio textures.
Key Features:
- Standard transient shaper controls for Attack and Sustain: Provides comprehensive management over transient dynamics, enhancing the clarity and impact of audio.
- Optional filter section for targeted processing: Features adjustable low-pass and high-pass filters, allowing precise frequency range adjustments during transient shaping.
- Separate Wet and Dry signal controls: Facilitates independent balancing of processed and unprocessed signals for fine-tuned output.
- Overall Gain control +/- 12 dB: Offers flexible gain staging without requiring external plugins.
- Optional Hard Clipper for added impact: Adds character by limiting peaks, giving transients a sharper, more defined edge.
