In this free video tutorial, you will learn how to harness the powerful controls in Softube's Transient Shaper plug-in to alter the presence of picked & strummed acoustic instruments. Transient shaper plug-ins are commonly regarded as drum and percussion mixing tools, however, transient shaper/designer plug-ins work just as well on acoustic instruments such as acoustic guitars.

Watch the video to see how Pro Tools Expert Deputy Editor Dan Cooper uses the Transient Shaper plug-in to subtly shape the character of acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro and fiddle tracks. The combination of these instruments in the example blue glass mix compete ever so slightly, a solution was needed to help create separation amongst the instrumentation.

The Transient Shaper plug-in by Softube is available both as AAX native and AAX DSP for Pro Tools HDX systems.
