22. Introduction

TransientControl is a plug-in for digital audio workstations which provides a unique dynamic shaping tool.

Figure 22.1: TransientControl's User Interface

TransientControl looks at two components of audio:

• Transient: The audio's “attack”. This is the pick of a guitar or bass, hit of a snare drum, etc.
• Sustain: This is the part of the audio around the transient.

TransientControl uses envelope detectors to separate what is transient and what is sustain. Once these elements
are separated, TransientControl can manipulate them to boost or cut the desired section of audio.
