When turned to Front, the Sharpen knob acts more like the Sustain knob on a regular Transient Shaper. When turned to Front, the Sharpen knob acts like the Attack knob on a regular Transient Shaper. Speed: time scale of captured transients.

Sharpen: add or remove dynamics in one click, how “sharp” the signal is.

In general terms, a compressor is somewhat longer to tune and its parameters change volume: attack, release, ratio, threshold… they change output gain while you tune them.Įssentially, the Transient section of Couture has only 3 parameters and they have semantic meaning: Our vision is that transient control could perhaps be something satisfying. This avoids some gain-staging dependencies in your signal chain, that may backfire later in the mixing stage. When using Couture you keep the freedom to change input gain afterwards. We extended the Saturation stage to be volume-independent, too Transient Shaping is traditionally volume-independent. For example for a drum track you can increase dynamics and smash it later with distortion. Some transients prefer saturation, others prefer dynamics.Ĭouture comes with both Transient and Saturation sections to make related decisions at the same time. There is often some overlap in usage cases between saturation and dynamics.

Deess the very start of notes for vocals.

Use a subtle saturation that preserve dynamics.

Give glue to a mix with light compression and saturation.

Make a whole bus more or less dynamic in a single click.

Remove the “click” out of a kick drum sample.

Make individual drum tracks a lot more dynamic and punchy.

Couture’s 2-bands, half-spectral, RMS, program-dependent detector finds each and every transient. Keep the freedom to change input gain when needed. Get a usable result, now.įully Volume-independent. Couture gives you control over your dynamics, and particularly attacks.
