I still use Transient Monster more often than the others, but I use this kind of processors on acoustic drums exclusively to emphasise the attack and shape the release. I need very aggressive drums. Transgainer is also a great tool. I've used MMultibandTransient a lot, especilly to give life and movement to triggered snares / kicks using the modulators. A very flexible one, I'm selling it as I have some redundancy. The Cubase one is great also, as is Schaak. BitterSweet works nice on some sources, but I've found it to be unstable and mess with my setup, so I eventually erased it. Cheers

Beast and Beauty . One of the finest Transient Enhancers ever concieved in software form, meant to be as good as SPL Transient designer in every way. Some have it that SPL coded it but thats the thing. No one knows where they came from and where you can even get them from. They were released as Pay what you want some time ago and no one has ever claimed to be the developer. URS was even named as having coded them due to the Buss compressor and console EQ in the Bundle. So If any one knows anything about this???

Ive been using Transilate from Cryosonic, its really smooth on drums but they seem to have included some kind of natural reverb in with it or something. It works good on drums though and thats what I tend to use it for. Try the demo first if you are interested and use it on a good range of sound sources.

I would think twice before suggesting Crysonic

I was waiting for that, I know all about it. I bought the crysonic everything bundle in 2009 and now most of the stuff has been scrapped. No support, no nothing. But, some of the FX are pretty good, The C1 compressor and spectraNXT
were worth the money I paid for the bundle, I think it was 75% off the entire collection. The first versions are better than the newer one they have made.
I got the transilate on offer after contacting them and its been alright but I shall not expect any help from them. I soon learned to live with it. The plugins I first bought have all my license written in to the file so there is no form of protection other than my name on the FX, so I only have to load them into my vst folder. They have a new Copy protection now so I wont be buying any more. Yup, sure thing, Crysonic are the best software company in the world

Unfortunately for them, some of the products are quite good and thats the big let down about the whole thing. Completely agree with what you said.

I agree some of their stuff is pretty good, I also had the CryEverything bundle and liked it. For the price paid it was well worth, but I went 64bit and don't expect x64 versions anytime soon

Michael Gruhn (MGA/Loser) makes a free Transient Designer that rarely gets mentioned: http://loser.asseca.com/

The same developer also created a couple of Transient designers for Cockos ReaJS plugin, another product that goes largely unnoticed! It's part of the ReaPlugs suite.

ReaJS Is a scripting plugin that allows you to create your own effects and comes with tons of examples including many by well known people (Stillwell/Schwa for example) as well as many more in the JS and ReaScript forum. Many of Stillwell/Schwa's payware VSTs were initially created/prototyped in ReaJS and you can find some scripts developed by them that never became fully fledged VSTs as well (you know you want to try things with names like "thunderkick", "Fairlychildish" and "Huge Booty"!

).

This is the ONLY Transient Designer I ever use, and have been using it for a couple of years. Have tested all others that have come my way and none have come close to this one in my opinion. And free too, unbelievable!

If you love that one you should try ReaJS and check the other transient toys by the same dev: Transhape, TransientController and TransientKiller.

Well guys, Waves Transient Designer is back on sale, its $49!!

My demos expired. I remember it did the job but somehow I wasn't impressed. Trouble is taste changes over time as you get more experience with mixing anyway.

Recommended for $49?

Just bought G-sonique transient designer for 10 euro in summer sale, though I have no download links yet and they said it would be there immediately if I used Paypal which I did, that was 2 hours ago so Im not very happy about it.

^ $43 @ Wavesuniverse

Very tempting.

Voxengo also has a sale on, I didn't realise his transgainer had an M/S mode. Interesting stuff. But I will need to do much more demoing.

I really did like Still well transient monster. I dunno. Its hard to remember the waves plug-in but I think it did a good job.

Any tips how to run TransX demo? It does not come up in the License manager at all.
