Waves Smack Attack Transient Shaping Plug-in
Waves Smack Attack Transient Shaping Plug-in Reviews
Ever wonder how professional engineers achieve drum mixes with that coveted smack and bite? Everyone has their modus operandi, but many rely on transient-shaping as their number one secret weapon. And that's just what Waves Smack Attack does. Optimized for drums, Smack Attack fine-tunes each instrument's level, shape, and duration. Use this plug-in on individual tracks, or slap it on your drum bus to maximize the entire kit. Either way, it results in kicks that punch and snares that crack. Armed with a Sensitivity control for selective transient shaping, a Wet/Dry mix control for parallel processing, and more, the level of control afforded by Smack Attack is astounding.

Great Plugin! Not Compatible with early OSX
I had the privilege of using this plugin on a friend's project. I applied it to bongos and percussive drums and it really brought out the transients nicely without any harsh artifacts. I checked and looked up the plugin specs. Everything looked good so I decided to buy it for myself. Unfortunately the plugin was not downloading correctly and was not being recognized by my software, even after doing a sync. Apparently it's not compatible with any OSX later than 10.10. This information was not listed when I checked, I wasn't aware of this until contacted a Waves Rep over the phone... They offered me a refund but I'm still kind of disappointed that I can't use this awesome plugin.
