SPL® Transient Designer
-
Effortlessly reshape the attack and
sustain of any source.
Revered as a “secret weapon” mix tool by some of the world’s finest engineers, the SPL Transient Designer plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces allows you to shape sustain and attack of your sources. This allows for total transparent control over important elements of your mix, such as snare drums, overhead and room mics, piano, and more.
Now You Can:
Soften or slam percussion for maximum dynamic impact
Transparently shorten or increase sustain on drum overheads
Reduce or increase room mic ambience
Easily minimize mic bleed on important sources
UA Artist Tips & Tricks
Featuring Dave Isaac
Simple Features — Huge Control
With just three simple controls, Sustain, Attack, and Output Level, the SPL Transient Designer plug-in gives you a powerful fixative tool, as well as a creative one. Shorten or lengthen the “thwack” and decay of percussive signals such as kick drum, snare, and toms. Or, you can easily remove unwanted mic bleed, or expand the room sound of overheads. The result? Total control of individual drums and the dynamic impact of your mix.
Useful on any Instrument
The SPL Transient Designer plug-in is indispensable for a variety of instruments. You can enhance a piano’s delicacy by reducing a noisy attack, or add length to ringing chords. On acoustic guitar, you can accentuate or reduce the picking sound, depending on the part. The SPL Transient Designer also gives you control over the environment of a source. For example, easily reduce the amount of reverb on a choir, or take unwanted ambience out of dialog.
“The UAD SPL Transient Designer adds an energy that will bring out the life in your audio every time!”
– David Isaac (Marcus Miller, Luther Vandross, Eric Clapton)
“I use the SPL Transient Designer on almost every one of my drums. You want your transients to shine through and ‘wow’ — this plug-in does it like no other.”
– Armin Van Buuren
“The SPL Transient Designer plug-in is the perfect tool for crafting snare samples that can really make or break a groove.”
– Just Blaze (Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West)レビュー

Its THE SPL Transient Designer
With quite a few UA plugins being developed by Brainworx I cant imagine im alone in having always thought this was just an older version of their SPL TD. This is FAR from the truth. No phase flip needed the differences between the two are shocking. The UA version is much more natural especially in the low end whilst the native sounds muffled and thin. Up until now Ive held on to my hardware SPL TD as it really outshines the plugins with full range material but this thing nails what the others cant. Thanks for helping me free up some rack space!

Tried on friend's recommendation and I love it. Controlling the attack/sustain of cymbals, drums, pianos to adjust them in a mix without altering their level or tonal. I had no idea how many problems this would be the only solution for! It's not an exciting plug-in - until until it saves your mix.

Oh snap!
Had a couple of go-to transient designers, but this just blew them out of the water. Bought it about five minutes into the demo.
S. Shaw
Very handy
Easy in concept, easy to DSP usage. To me it sounds much smoother than the Plugin Alliance version especially when driven hard.
C. White
Different drums
This plugin is awesome for me. It basically widens the number of drums that I have at my disposal for recording drum tracks that are tailored to each song.
