ATKTransientShaper

by Matthieu Brucher
Best for Best for mixers and beatmakers who want deeper transient surgery than a basic attack/sustain knob, especially on single drum hits, percussion, bass, and picked instruments where tuning RMS, attack, release, threshold, slope, and dry/wet can tighten the front edge, soften spikes, or swell sustain without building a larger dynamics chain.
