Or, maybe you recorded vocals at home in your bedroom or bathroom or some room without proper acoustic treatment, and you are getting too much of that вЂњboxyвЂќ room tone in your vocal tracks. Nothing else works quite the same, and itвЂ™s a very useful tool when needed. You can also use the sustain knob to dial in more sustain to your guitar tone as well. Works wonders for acoustic, electric, and even bass guitars if you want to DE-emphasize the attack. The TD can help add some of that back.ДЄnother great use of the TD is to smooth out things like guitar sounds where they used a pick and it had too much of that pick attack sound. The other rare occasion that I might add a bit more attack to drums is when I may have heavily compressed the drums to achieve a certain effect for a song, but that compression killed some of the attack transients of the drums.

I usually will roll off all the low end of that punch track so I donвЂ™t get any weird phase issues with the low end from the вЂњnormalвЂќ drum tracks, and because IвЂ™m only looking for a bit more вЂњbiteвЂќ out of this track, not a full range sound. Then, IвЂ™ll ride that track with automation and only bring it in subtly during the dense section of the mix to add a bit more attack to the drums so they cut through more. On that FX track IвЂ™ll put the TD, and sometimes even add a small amount of distortion, and then use effects sends to route only the kick, snare, and toms to the вЂњdrum punchвЂќ effects buss. My technique is to set up an effects track that I like to call вЂњdrum punchвЂќ. However, there are cases where a mix is really dense in some sections, with a huge wall of guitars, and you want the drums to cut through a bit more, but without necessarily making them a whole lot louder. IвЂ™m fortunate enough that I get to work with really great drummers and great sounding kits, so itвЂ™s not that often that I need to add more attack. But, sometimes youвЂ™ll get tracks someone else recorded with old drum heads, or a player that plays too soft, and you may need to add some attack for that. In general, with digital recording, enough of the transients are preserved that I rarely need to add more attack with the TD. I made a little instructional video on the mixing of one of the drum tracks from a London Bridge Recording session, showing how I really tightened up that drum kit sound for the song:ДЄnother technique I use quite often is to add more attack to drums during dense sections of mixes. But, itвЂ™s perfect for tightening up a drum kit or removing some of the room sound from just about any type of track. It works wonders! Not so good on held out sustained notes as it will also kill some of that, so you need to be careful with it. Just grab that sustain knob and turn it down to remove as much of the room sound as you want without affecting the punchy attack portion of the signal. TD to the rescue!! IвЂ™ve used the TD to tighten up drum recordings as well as a 5 piece horn section that we did at London Bridge. However, the main tracking room is HUGE! This can cause some issues if you are looking for a tight and вЂњdryвЂќ sound as you canвЂ™t avoid picking up that huge room sound in anything that you record with microphones. ItвЂ™s an incredible studio with a lot of history.

IвЂ™ve done a few recordings at the famous London Bridge Studio here in the greater Seattle area. Here are some of the ways I have used this wonderful device: Sure, you say, but what would you use it for? ItвЂ™s NOT a compressor, expander, or gate, but allows you to make signals punchier, or remove/reduce sustain or room sound, or add more sustain or room sound to your tracks. So, unlike compressors, expanders, and gates, which act on the level of the signal passing through them, the TDвЂ™s settings affect the attack and sustain portions of the signal at any volume/dynamic level. The Transient Designer (TD) allows you to adjust the attack and sustain portions of an audio signal, regardless of the dynamic level. Waves and other companies also make their own similar plugins that are not officially licensed by SPL, and that operate and behave slightly differently, but are doing the same type of thing. We never had these at the big studio I used to work at, and now I wonder how we got along without them! These days I have the Universal Audio UAD plugin version, as well as SPLвЂ™s own native plugin version. But, itвЂ™s one of those tools that I canвЂ™t live without! The SPL Transient Designer is a cool piece of hardware, that has also been ported over to multiple plugin versions, that does something that most other dynamic processors canвЂ™t do. Here is something that not too many people talk about any more, and thus many beginners might not know about. The вЂњSecret WeaponвЂќ behind many great recording and mixes!
