Wavesfactory has announced Quantum, an audio transient shaper plug-in that allows different processing to be applied independently to the attack and sustain part of a signal.
A transient shaper is an audio processor that can increase or reduce the transients or tonal parts of a signal. Quantum automatically detects and classifies the transients of a signal, separating the sound in attack and sustain paths, and add effects from a library of 16 onboard effects (Chorus, Compressor, Convolution, Delay, Enhancer, EQ, Flanger, Limiter, Lo-Fi, Phaser, Pitch Shifter, Reverb, Saturation, Stereo Tools. Tremolo, Vibrato) to each path separately, before joining them back together.
‘Quantum uses a state-of-the-art transient shaper at its core,’ the company says. ‘We use that technology to automatically detect transients. By doing so, we get artifact-less, more natural results than other methods that can sound digital and full of artifacts.
‘Quantum is not a one-trick-pony, it’s quite the opposite. Think about it like a toolbox. It’s a comprehensive set of tools that let you control, mangle, manipulate and completely transform your tracks.’
Key features:
- Smart transient detection.
- 16 built in effects;.
- Two-band Spectre included.
- Resizable GUI.
- Retina ready.
- Built for the latest Apple M1 chip, and also Intel.
There is no use of iLok, challenge response needed for registering Quantum, simply the application of a serial number provided at the time of the purchase.
System requirements: macOS and Windows. 64-bit only. AAX, Audio Units, VST and VST3.
