XLN Audio DS-10 Drum Shaper Transient Shaper for Drums [download]

XLN Audio has 10 years of experience in software development for drum recording. All of this expertise has been distilled down into the powerful yet simple to use DS-10 Drum Shaper. DS-10 is the first plugin in XLN's Addictive FX line that lets you easily dial in just the right amount of punch in your drum mixes.

DS-10 Drum Shaper has three modes of operation: Kick, Snare, Bus. These modes are tuned under-the-hood to help you get outstanding drum mixes with a fast clutter-free interface. XLN has taken care of the technical details so you can create sublime drum mixes with controlled, punchy transients.

Say goodbye to grainy unnatural sounding transients with their newly developed Natural algorithm which provides artifact-free shaping, even when pushing your sound into more extreme territories. To give you more options, XLN also includes the beloved Classic algorithm from their flagship Addictive Drums 2 also a Smooth algorithm with an extra-long release time for parallel compression-like results. With three fantastic algorithms at your fingertips, you will have everything you need to make your drums shine.

MOJO is the secret weapon for adding flavor and color to your drums. This unique technology uses tuned transient shaping to achieve EQ compression-like results in situations where traditional EQs compressors would have limited benefit. This opens up a world of exciting sound design possibilities ranging from minimal polishing to extreme mangling. How does MOJO work? Whereas a typical EQ affects all sounds equally on a track, MOJO lets you shape transients only in specific frequency bands of your track while leaving other frequencies bands non-transients unaffected. This lets you do things like increase decrease high-frequency on a drum mix, add remove midrange body from your snare drum, control the low-end tightness of a kick drum. The transient shaping MOJO components of the DS-10 are independent of each other. This means MOJO can be used along with DS-10™s transient processor all on its own.
