Must-have Transient Control
Transients can make or break a track, and while they’re often seen as a con, the Spiff plug-in from Oeksound takes a neutral approach that lets you cut or boost transients with remarkable precision. Spiff was first built for removing mouth clicks from vocals, but producers quickly recognized it was a top-tier plug-in for guitar, bass, synths, vocals, drums, and more. Spiff lets you do things like soften or enhance pick attack on guitar or bass, reduce click artifacts on synthesizer, or even offset drum track room sound by boosting transients. If you’re looking for your audio kitchen’s next secret ingredient, then Spiff from Sweetwater is the way to go!

Keep it spiffy
Typical transient processors rely on harsh compressors and envelope shapers, but not Spiff. Spiff uses spectral analysis and dynamic filters. The result is seamless, more automated workflows that bloom with natural musicality. Spiff also manages transient editing without any crossovers, which means there’s no risk of pesky crossover artifacts like what you’d get with a comparable multiband plug-in. You can use Spiff subtly, like for enhancing audio on a podcast or voiceover, but you can easily push it to extremes when you want to squeeze unconventional sounds out of instruments, tracks, and microphones for more variety.
Loved by the pros
Of course, you can take our word for it, but a variety of genre-spanning producers also use Spiff on their tracks! James F. Reynolds (BTS, Calvin Harris) says, “Spiff is a brilliantly intuitive transient design tool that I use in every mix I do.” Joe Barresi (Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, Volbeat, Tool) says, “From removing clicks in a sustained keyboard sound to getting rid of leakage on drum tracks, [Spiff] worked flawlessly.” And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Titans of audio involved in everything from film scores to rap to video game design are turning to the practical, real plug-in that is Spiff.
