Transient Shaper

About

Transient Shaper is a dynamics plugin by Softube. It adds or reduces punch and sustain on any sound, controlling the attack and decay of a track. It can affect the whole frequency spectrum, only the high frequencies, or only the low frequencies. The crossover frequency is user selectable, and the Punch behavior can be set to Fast or Slow.

What it sounds like

Sustain and Punch can be applied to the treble or bass portion of a sound separately, leaving the rest untouched. Adding Punch with its frequency slider set to Hi adds high frequency transients, while turning the Punch knob down gives a darker, more rounded sound.
