best current transient shapers/designers of all kind ?

atomic transient https://www.molecularbytes.com/mbcms/in ... ctransient

I am surprised at the lack of interest in this very powerful processor.

I have Atomic Transient but usually find it tricky to work with. Most of the time I can get better results cooking up something with an envelope follower into a comparator to trigger another envelope generator in Bitwig Grid, and that modular approach makes more sense to me.

Oxford Envolution is still the best IMO.

Same here.

understand, Atomic Transient takes a bit of learning but is an absolute gem once you get used to it. And you have a good alternative. I also have the basic transient plugins like from Softube and just never use them now.

I quite like Audio Assault's offerings.
Transient and Multi Transient.

To me the standard gate section of the console one 4k strip does everything I need in that regard and I have it on each track of my project anyway.

i use
Voxengo Transgainer for broadband,
Softube Transient Designer for splitband,
OekSound spiff for spectral

...still one question left here : what are the good of the sophisticated multiband transient shaper like spiff or punctuate

As far as I could experience it's getting excessively subtle nuances that becomes only noticeable inside a mix when for instance, some short transient are enhanced from a track and pass through the mask effect, but the difference between on and off would not be noticeable when listening in solo mode !!!!!

I haven't used them, but I wonder if they're good for cleanup?

Sometimes I get an unpleasant sort of buzz around the 5K-10K range -- I think it's from clipping something in my Eurorack setup but of course I don't notice it until I've already recorded a take. I've found if I can blunt the attack within that band it sounds less distracting. I've been using other methods, but maybe that's something a multiband transient shaper could handle?

The Softube one is decent, I like the multiband function.

Transreckon from eareckon

Still my favourite after all those years.. With the Listen (Sens, Length) function you can precisely
determine the attack length and exclude any spill (f.e.HiHat) on a snare mic from being effected by an attack boost.

Got this one for free, its imho better than all SPL, Softube and Elysia offerings:

EDIT: I see alot of ppl already suggesting this Khs Transient Designer. It replace my Softube TD and SPL versions recently and I didnt knew how good this kilohearts stuff actually is. There are some real gems in there.

This looks interesting, audio examples sound good. No demo though?

WA's Imprint is very light and has low latency.

2.10 is resizable.

I like SPL's and Waves , smack attack is pretty decent.
