Compressor
Ableton
Control dynamic range with surgical precision using Peak, RMS, or Expand modes—plus lookahead detection for transparent, musical compression.
Transient Shaper is a dynamics processor that lets you customize the attack character of sounds by providing direct control over transient and sustain sections—more intuitive than traditional compression for tweaking punch, snappiness, and articulation on drums and other percussive or synth sources.
Add Transient Shaper to your Plugin Library to get personalized recommendations and never forget you own it.
