Voxengo TransGainer

I used Transgainer on vocals whose transients (heard mostly on constanants and attacks) were so strong, I thought I needed to re-record the track.  T gainer saved the track and my voice!  Excellent plugin!!!

"GET UN EFFECT LIKE BRINGING THE MICROPHONE CLOSER TO THE SOURCE"

I have really tried many transient shaper plugins to bring forward a closely recorded sound more transparently than an eq or compressor and to keep the background noise under control which means improving the Signal/Noise ratio.

Apart from Eventide Physion which has a separate place (and requires high latency) I must admit that TransGainer is truly exceptional once you understand how to adapt the detector to your purpose, "Transient detector threshold" and PRECISE_B algorithm in particular.

With a reference converter RME ADI-2 PRO FS it is interesting to note that as the resolution increases, artifacts decrease, especially if you want to use low Detector Threshold.  Oversampling is not as useful as a real higher resolution especially from 384kHz and you can also use 768kHz for an almost analog experience.

More than that I think that you have to switch to Elysia Nvelope hardware that has some interesting features that I would like to be inherited by TransGainer in future editions!

As a reference of my tests:

Alg = PRECISE B

Det Delay = 10.0 (min)

Det Thresh = 12.0 (high sample rate resolutions) / 18.0 (low sample rate resolutions)

X.Attack = 200 (max)

X.Decay = 40.0 (min)

X.Gain = 4.0

Out Gain = 0.0

Congratulations indeed for a plugin very underestimated by reviewers and forums.

Using fl studio as DAW, I have never had a problem with any of your plugins.  Stable, functional, easy to use and the sound quality/ cpu load is excellent.  These plugins have become my first choice in most applications.  Thank you for many years of enjoyment.
