SPL Transient Designer 4
Best precise transient control for professional audio mixing and mastering.
This processor offers a unique way to shape sound dynamics independent of signal level. By manipulating attack and sustain directly, it allows for precise control over the character of percussive and melodic sources, effectively changing the perceived distance or damping of a sound after it has been recorded.
