2. Flux BitterSweet v3
Windows, Mac OS X BitterSweet from Flux is a free transient shaper plugin. It works well for adding more ‘punch’ to your drums, especially your kicks, snares and toms. The extra punch comes when you turn the dial to the ‘bitter’ setting. https://centricheavenly728.weebly.com/download-r2r-ableton-keygen.html. You can soften the punch of a sound when you turn the dial towards the ‘sweet’ setting. It is available as a 32-bit and 64-bit plugin. Features:
Output Gain, controlling the gain at the end of the processing.
Bypass routes the incoming signal direct to the output for a true smooth transition between processed and clean signal.
Three different transient processing modes:
Main, using a regular stereo signal scheme for the processing.
Center, processing the Mid channel only, very efficient for snare and kick drums.
Stereo, processing the Side channel only, very efficient for panned rhythmic/transient instruments.
