Helpful... I don't have a DS10 but I used a Bittersweet transient and compression from Fab Filter..much much better

[@TheBawss90]

Alright that's it. I'm buying it🤑

We can get the same process by tweaking the volume curve of the sample in the addictive drums edit section right? basically shaping a short version of it.

Hi, you can use the volume curve to get a similar effect in Addictive Drums 2 that is correct, however it won't boost the signal as the DS-10 Drum Shaper does.

@@xlnaudio but the compression and distortion will

[@xlnaudio]

@@wakeforldmusic You have all the tools you need inside Addictive Drums 2 to get great sounding drums and shape the mix the way you want. DS-10 Drum Shaper comes with unique algorithms, fine tuned for use on snare, kick and/or a full drum mix. It might be possible for you to achieve similar transient shaping results within the AD2 engine, but not as fast or effortlessly - and definitely not as easy to stack and change on the fly.
In DS-10, if you want your drums huge, it’s a 1 second maneuver, and is easy to dial back. And if you need your drums dry and smacking instead, that’s just another twist of a knob away. It all comes down to smooth workflow really.

@@xlnaudio that is true

Also, let's not forget there is a basic version of a transient shaper included in AD2, in addition to editing the envelopes of each kit piece.

Is Sustain the same as Release?

[@notprosperBEATS]

aint this like an spl transient designer?

[@capgpro100]

Yep, yep.
