Voxengo TransGainer

"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.

Hello Voxengo!

Just wanted to chime in and say how much I'm enjoying your products.  I'm using LF Max, Transgainer, and your MS plug.  I'm a sound designer for feature films and video games, and I simply cannot believe the value and quality of your software.  It's unreal!

It would be much harder to do a good job without your stuff.  Big beefy sounds!

Thanks again,

Stuart Provine

Your products are amazing!

From your incredibly useful free-plugs to the very cheap and fantastic sounding payplugs.

I am recommending your company to anyone who'll listen, so please keep up the good work!

All the best,

Colin
