The SPL De-Verb Plus Microplug delivers part of the same magical envelope shaping provided by the original Transient Designer hardware, replicating the attenuation provided by. A detent at zero on the attack and release would be helpful, as would fully detented output knobs for matching stereo pairs. SPL 100 Bundle (Mac) SPL 100: Attacker, De-Essers, De-Verb, DrumXChanger, EQ Ranger Plus, Free Ranger, Mo-Verb, Passeq, Transient Designer Plus, TwinTube, Vitalizer. I did however, bemoan the lack of detented knobs.

The knobs feel solid and the bypass switch is firm and has a satisfying click. This is a trick that should be used subtly however, as too much can cause your plosives to get out of hand-but just a bit can be a great help. I also gave the TDx a shot on vocals, particularly on some very fast raps, which can be a notoriously unintelligible sound source (sometimes to the benefit of the less lyrically gifted!)Īdding a hint of attack did wonders here, not only lending a bit of percussive life and movement to the sound, but also some clarity to the lyrics. Sonically, the TDx is clean and transparent, preserving the quality of whatever passes through it, affecting the dynamics and nothing more. I was able to dial in nice, round R&B tones by turning down the attack and increasing the sustain, and found that the opposite treatment can really enhance the slaps and pops of funk bass. The TDx really shone on bass tracks as well. This enabled me to get a ton of impact from the kit while still controlling the dynamics.

I was lucky to get a pair of units for review, so I tried them on my drum buss ahead of the buss compressor. The addition of the Mix knob is great for inline parallel processing, but I’ve found the Output trim is even more handy, allowing me to add as much attack or sustain as I like without worry of clipping the converters of my hybrid mix rig.

On kick drum, it can really bring out the “smack” of the beater, or extend the decay of an 808 without simply squashing the track. It is great on snare, whether you’re using it to increase the “crack” of the attack, or to shorten the decay if it is dominating the mix.
