Focus on what matters. Transient Shaper is your one-stop shop for sculpting and manipulating sound with incredible flexibility. This zero-latency plugin goes beyond basic shaping, letting you target specific frequency ranges within your audio using the unique "Focus" feature.
Three Processing Sections, Endless Possibilities:
Transient Shaper offers three dedicated sections for independent control:
- 
Attack: Fine-tune the initial transient of your sound, perfect for tightening drums or boosting the punch of bass hits.
- 
Sustain: Shape the body of your sound, ideal for elevating the presence of instruments and vocals or gluing separate elements together.
- 
Focus: Isolating specific frequency ranges with the "Focus" sliders allows for highly precise adjustments to your sound shaping.
Layer with Confidence:
Focus-based processing makes layering percussion and instruments a breeze, ensuring each element sits perfectly within the mix.
Dive Deeper with Extra Controls:
- 
Warmth Knob: Add subtle saturation to transients for extra punch and character.
- 
Time Knob: Adjust the length of the processed transient or sustain for even more nuanced control.
- 
Listen Button: Isolate the transient or sustain for independent monitoring and seamless blending.
The Power of Virtual Mix Rack:
Transient Shaper seamlessly integrates with the Virtual Mix Rack (VMR), our award-winning collection of digital mixing modules and classic analog hardware recreations. Build your dream mix rack without breaking the bank and access a wealth of pristine sonic tools.

Features
- 
Transient - Adjusts gain of detected transients. Detection is level-independent.
- 
Warmth - Dials in ear-pleasing harmonic distortion. ‘Warmth’ is independent of Transient Gain, so saturation is applied before the transient is boosted or cut.
- 
Focus - Narrows the frequency range being processed. Also impacts the sidechain signal being used for detection.
- 
Sustain - Adjusts the gain of detected sustain part, normally the tail of your sound.
- 
Time - Adjusts the length of the detected transient or tail of your sound.
- 
Listen - Routes specific signal path to the output: Transient, Sustain or Out.
- 
Stereo Link - When "On", a mono signal is used for sidechain detection.
- 
Mix - Blends between dry and wet signals.
- 
Makeup Gain - Boosts peaks of processed signal to match original level
- 
Safety Clip - Hard-clips the output to 0 dB FS to maintain effective gain staging at the expense of a clipping effect.
