Next on our list is Sonic Anomaly's Transpire plugin. This is another free transient shaper VST plugin that's really good at keeping the modification of your transients as clear and transparent as possible.
Flux Bittersweet is by far the easiest transient designer to use on this list, it has the prettiest UI, and the workflow makes sense. When testing Bittersweet, it was absolutely awesome at giving snares extra pop while keeping them clean.
It also has some extra options that the other transient designers on this list don't. With Flux Bittersweet, you get 3 different modes to choose from. These aren't transient detection modes like with Couture though, they are multiband.
Another great transient designer plugin, comes from Sleepy-Time records, and is called Transient. This is a bit further down the list because it's only available on Windows unfortunately.
When taking a look inside the rack, it's made up of some simple compression, saturation and gain controls. Which is what transient designers are, but there is a key difference between a transient shaper and compressor.
Essentially it's compression, but there are some key differences between a transient shaper and a compressor. And these differences make the need for a transient designer more urgent.

Enjoy Ableton users! If you ever overlooked it because of the multitude of knobs all packed in a small interface, Drum Buss is a nice free option to work on transients. This plugin is quite aggressive and I suggest starting from presets to get a grasp on what each parameter is doing.
With the news of a brand new transient designer plugin from Waves is seems like transient control is the latest fad for plugin developers! There have been a few interesting releases recently so lets take a look at them as well as some of the classics.
The original Waves transient designer. You get two versions, a wideband and a multiband. The multiband is useful in that it lets you specify the frequency range that the plugin enhances, so if you just want to pick up the high clicks of a drum bus, this is the tool to grab.
My good buddy Dave Pensado is always way ahead of most of us in so many areas of mixing, and one area in particular is his use of transient designer plugins. In the video below, Dave shows us how a transient designer plugin can actually increase or decrease depth in a mix.
Of course, depth is something that we always strive for, but mostly achieve by using effects like delay and reverb. Using a transient designer for this purpose is something that I never would have thought of, but it really does work on track elements that have a lot of transients to begin with. 2ff7e9595c
