What it is
Oxford TransMod HD/HDX is a transient modulator plugin from Sonnox that reshapes the attack and sustain of a sound independent of its overall level, rather than just turning the volume down like a compressor. It can bring a soggy drum kit to life or make a bass line punch through a mix, and its Overdrive stage layers in harmonic saturation for extra character when pushed.
Who it's for
Mixing engineers and producers working with drums, bass, and acoustic sources who want precise, musical control over transients without reshaping the source's tone.
Key features
- Ratio, Gain, Threshold, and Deadband controls set exactly how much transient modulation gets applied
- Rise Time, Recovery, and Overshoot parameters shape the timing of the effect down to the millisecond
- An Overdrive mode adds harmonic saturation and lets peaks run up to 6dB over digital maximum without hard clipping
- Runs in AAX Native, Audio Units, VST2, and VST3 with iLok USB or Cloud authorization, and each license includes 2 activations
