Anyone use NI Transient Master?

[wald]

Yes I use it too much. Works good if you smash drums into a tape emulation then reshape the transients / release a bit with transient master or something else, even more tape, more tape, more compression, more tape again, more transient, more tape, even more tape, bounce to some real tape, back into the box for some more tape emulation, some more compression, some more transient designers, some bit reduction, some distortion, some more tape and transient, then about 10 chains of transient designers and saturators, then brickwall it to 0.5 DB dynamic range.

Layer with some white noise high passed with a linear phase EQ for some pre-ringing.

More transient master.

Some more tape emulation.

More white noise with a high shelf between 2 and 3.5 khz at the maximum boost possible for that EQ. In a chain of about 10 instances of that EQ.

Then some more transient master.

Then clip that and bitch about the inter-sample peaks.

Maybe brickwall that to 0.01 db dynamic range and call it a day.

At least it sounds analog now.

i use the tool integrated on battery 4, which i assume is the same transient master engine... so, for me it's useful especially on the attack, for the sustain i'm better with a compressor, but it solves the problem with attack. very useful on that.

Yes, I think it is the same or a very similiar transient shaper.

I agree that I find it more useful for dealing with transient attacks. 99% of the time, I use it to knock some front off, and maybe to suppress a flabby tail. In fact, I generally use it 'subtractively'

Other options for me would be the Eareckon one, or the new Softube one, which is dual band. I often split out a low and mid/high band in the DAW and affect each channel differently, so that would save me having to set that up. Knowing Softube though, it's too expensive

Of all the reasons to get Komplete, the inclusion of Transient Master in it should be one of the least. If you want just Transient Master, just get that. If you want a boatload of Synth options and Reaktor, Kontakt and a good number of Kontakt libraries...that's when you should get Komplete. (add in a number of other great effects if you're considering Komplete Ultimate)

I might have overstated that a bit, its hardly gonna be the deciding factor. Really I want the cinematic stuff but like i said i can't afford Ultimate right now.

I have Komplete 9 standard, and you still get a whole lotta bang for the buck without Ultimate.

I am still wondering whether to upgrade to Komplete 10 and see this is included.

How does it compare to Voxengo's TransGainer?

. . . but now I'm using NI Transient Master exclusevely.
