shane_dup2 Posted March 27, 2001 Share Posted March 27, 2001 I was wondering what your experiences of SPL's Transient Designer are and if you have one, what you use it for. I'm intrigued by these boxes - they seem to be unique. Mostly interested in playing with programmed drum sounds but what about others. shane By the way - Good, intelligent forum this one!

Jan Folkson Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 When I worked with Dave Reitzas he was using one, it seemed pretty great. I haven't gotten around to getting one for myself, but I plan to. I'm sure Dave will chime in. - Jan - Jan Folkson http://www.janfolkson.com "How do you know when it's music and not just a bunch of noise" - Dennis the Menace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphajerk Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 i've been looking at them too. the new tc electronics triple-c has that capability too if you need to stay all digital. i think it would be badass on drums. live or sampled. alphajerk FATcompilation "if god is truly just, i tremble for the fate of my country" -thomas jefferson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Olsson. Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 I've got one stereo TC TripleC. It's very useful for a lot of tasks including transient design. I also like that it has 1 knob/button for each function and that you can save your settings. What's missing is that you can not use it as 2 separate mono compressors and it lacks dedicated sidechain inputs. As it is now you can only get sidechain-ability if use it in mono mode and use the free input for sidechain. Still I think that the TC TripleC is a great addition to any studio and you get a lot of bang for the buck. I don't use any midi-editors/librarians for my outboard gear yet, but the TC TripleC can be used like that too I suppose. I also like the stuff that SPL makes. They are well built, powerful, easy to use and musically sounding IMHO. The one thing I hate though is that their knobs dont have an indicator-line close to the panel - only on top of the knobs. This makes it very difficult to take notes and recall settings exactly. SPL have released some really innovative and useful analog products. SPL's range of digital gizmos also look very intresting. BTW, OT question: has anybody used the SPL Goldmike micpre? Opinions? /Mats This message has been edited by mats.olsson@rockfile.se on 03-28-2001 at 06:27 AM http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it?

JES Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 Hi All, Anybody know of any companies working on a software version of transient design? I'd love to have a native plugin that did that. --JES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane_dup2 Posted March 29, 2001 Author Share Posted March 29, 2001 I've been thinking the same thing -someone should get their act together and make a software version of the TD or the Triple C. BTW, have any of you guys used either of these processors to stretch out open hi-hat samples - by that I mean add loads of sustain to get that RnB hi-hat sound. shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, have not tried that yet. Will try it on an existing recording, when time permits... /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

Anderton Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 >>I was wondering what your experiences of SPL's Transient Designer are << I was able to try it out through headphones at the Frankfurt show, and was very impressed by what it can do. It's not something I really need desperately right now, but if I had the disposable bucks, I'd go for one.
