Waves Smack Attack Plugin (Full Crack)
Leigha Keplinger
I've been having the same problem with a few waves plugins. Specifically, Vocal Synth 2 and Nectar 3 by Izotope have not been opening. The plug ins that cause problems crash my whole logic session. it's very annoying. I hope Apple fixes this soon as I've got deadlines...
Basically you can make sounds more snappy, plucky or punchy by increasing the attack on the transient shaper plugin. But you can also increase the sustain, length, depth and room tone by increasing the sustain part on the transient designer.
Here we have an interesting one. What makes this plugin stand out for its price point is the option to affect the whole spectrum or only the highs or lows. The same can be said for the Fast/Slow toggle for the attack, which makes the transient design more nuanced.
Fundamentally, these effects operate by giving the user separate control over the attack and decay portions of a transient. More feature-rich plugins will add multiband capability or surgical FFT-based manipulation.

Transient shaper plugins let you control the attack and sustain of your sounds without messing with the overall volume. You can use a transient designer to add punch, remove mic bleed or reverb, enhance the impact of any given sound, and so much more!
The entirety of the plugin is divided into two sections: the Transient section, which is for the attack, and the Sustain section. You can mix and analyze them independently, giving you loads of control. And to make things even better, there's a warmth knob, mixing knob, and basic limiter within the plugin, meaning you can cut down on your post-processing time and get things sounding like they should right off the bat.
Beyond the expected parameters, the attack and sustain knobs each come with their own sensitivity settings. So, if you wanna make one part more prominent than the other, it's a breeze. Plus, you can select from a few premade transient shapes as a guide. The plugin truly acts as a shortcut to getting killer results in little time, perfect for anyone that's new to transient shaping and wants to explore its capabilities.
Plus, you've got your standard attack and sustain controls that can be as subtle and transparent or as bold and wild as you need them to be. Finding the perfect balance for your mix has never been easier. I love the API-style interface too, as it stands out quite a bit from the other transient shaper plugins on this list.
PUNCH is part of Mastering the Mix's ANIMATE pack, though you can grab it all on its own at a super affordable price. This plugin is all about boosting transients, which makes it killer for adding serious strength and energy to your drum sounds or anything that needs a punchy attack.
The interface, as with all of the developer's plugins, is very inviting, offering slightly curved level indicators that add a fun touch to the transient shaping process. But let's talk about the controls. Overall, the plugin is pretty basic, focusing on just three main dials: attack, release, and sensitivity. Each one of these parameters is visual, so no numbers to deal with. This could be a bummer if you want to get specific with your parameters, but I've found that the visual aspect is kind of fun. Also, it's worth noting that the attack and sustain share the same band, and while that gives you a more natural sound, it might limit your overall control.
In the center of the plugin, you'll find this visualizer that shows you exactly how your original sound is being tweaked. Everything is controlled by only four knobs: attack, sustain, speed, and pump. Sounds simple enough, right?
