This time I will use it as a master effect.

To conclude, let’s hear how the full drum loop with all of the drum elements sounds without the Transient Shaper and after that with it. I believe that you can hear a considerable difference after increasing the attack and slightly decreasing the release. Let’s now hear how the kick and snare drum sound without and with the effect.

Moreover, the Transient Shaper effect is located inside the ‘Effects’ tab all the way to the right, and it’s named ‘TM’.

Firstly, let us try applying it on the kick drum and snare drum.īy navigating down from the sample cells section, you will find the ‘Effects’ tab. In my opinion, it’s a great thing to have the possibility to treat individual samples in the drum kit as well as to use it as a master effect within Battery 4. Here is how the full, unprocessed drum loop sounds. After loading the chosen samples into cells, I have made a drum kit (Drum & Bass in this case) and some basic rhythm. After opening a new instance of SoundBridge, I have added a new MIDI channel where I have placed Battery 4 by Native Instruments. Let me try to give you a closer look at one of Transient Shaper’s tools I find particularly useful. On the other hand, by shortening the decay (attack) of the drum loop that was processed with too much reverb, it can become much cleaner and sit way better in the mix. Building your own kits used to involve a lot of faff but now Battery 4 contains kit piece names that are further sub-categorised (acoustic, analog, electronic) so that you can audition via Batterys own browser to drag and drop hits into the cells you want them to fit. The ability to sharpen or soften the sound, as well as to control the length or shorten the decay, has proven very useful for giving each sound just the right size and position in the overall mix. For instance, using it on a drum loop that is too tight and lifeless by increasing the release parameter, you can make it sound more vibrant and fatter in an instant. Create chains, re-order effects, and sidechain with drag-and-drop ease on four busses and the master channel. Apply them to cells, groups of cells or to the master outs. This tool possesses two main controls: attack and decay. BATTERY 4 delivers powerful on-board effects SOLID EQ, SOLID BUS COMP, TRANSIENT MASTER, tape saturation, LoFi, and a powerful convolution reverb. What is more, I would like to highlight one of these tools called Transient Shaper. Personally, I feel that Transient Shaper plugins are providing a way to shape the amplitude response of a signal in a better and in most cases ‘cleaner’ way than traditional compressors do.
This is because we have numerous useful tools ranging from compressors and harmonic enhancers to special equalizing techniques. These days, it seems that there are many ways to dynamically and tonally process your drum sounds.
