Transient Master

TRANSIENT MASTER is great on any instrument with intrinsic attack. If a guitar track has too much pick sound, apply TRANSIENT MASTER and reduce the Attack. To liven things up, raise the Attack — the additional bite at the onset of each note adds presence.

Use 'Sustain' to correct room sound on recordings. For a guitar track with muddy reverb, apply TRANSIENT MASTER and lower the Sustain to choke the reverb. Add subtle Attack, and your guitar is now crisp, lively, and sitting at the front of your mix.

TRANSIENT MASTER can even put life back into pre-processed, over-compressed tracks. When nothing else works, TRANSIENT MASTER can provide an instant mix-fix at the turn of a dial.

Transients are non-tonal material at the onset of a sound. The Attack control emphasizes or de-emphasizes transients, making a sound more or less lively without affecting the overall level. The Sustain control cuts or lengthens the sustain part of a sound.

TRANSIENT MASTER effectively re-shapes the envelope, affecting the sound at its source. Engineers agree that this 're-shaping' delivers particularly natural and musical results — and it's quick and easy to get there, thanks to the simple, three-knob design. Try TRANSIENT MASTER, and you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.
