More feature-rich plugins will add multiband capability or surgical FFT-based manipulation. I’ve had great success adding bite and punch to synth parts and truly any transient-based sample can benefit from this sort of processing.įundamentally, these effects operate by giving the user separate control over the attack and decay portions of a transient. And there is no need to limit their use to percussion parts.
Transient Designer plugins are really fun! They can instantly transform a dull and lifeless drum or percussion part into something that really pops, creating a dynamic and living part that can give you that cutting edge you’ve been looking for.
