A quick tweak of the decay and kindly asking the decay lf/hf detection to look at high- frequency information and I finally had a snare to be proud of. The epiphany came when working on a snare, and I wanted to bring out some more sustain. I found that as soon as I started to get to grips with the advanced decay and decay lf/hf controls, this transient shaper came to life. You are inclined to go straight for the depth and ‘eq-styled’ controls, but that will only get you so far. It isn’t until you start diving into the decay settings that things get interesting. Oh, boy, that’s Spiffing!Įarlier I mentioned the decay parameters, and this is where things get tweaky. As with most plug-ins, a quick glimpse over the manual is advised. There is also an advance section the ability to a/b along with a presets menu and the hallowed resize option. Essential parameters to also note are the ability to process the stereo mode (left/right or mid/side information), a stereo link feature ranging from 0-100%, and a balance feature allowing more or less processing based off the choice from the stereo mode. A mix and trim section-a handy bypass and delta button, the latter allows you only to hear the processed material (beneficial when pinpointing a particular problem to work on). Other features include the all-important cut or boost modes, which affect how the plug processes the transient information. With controls to adjust sensitivity, decay, sharpness, and decay lf/hf, the latter which I will go into more detail.
Using five EQ-styled bands, two of which are low and high pass styles and the other three that are more parametric, you can quickly manipulate your desired instrument to have more or less transient information. Think of it as a multi-band transient shaper allowing you to boost or attenuate the desired information using a clean and straightforward GUI. Spiff’s “intelligent processing” is used to analyze the incoming signal and adapt the processing to only the relevant transient information you choose. None of them offers the flexibility that Spiff plugin has. Now there are a lot of transient processing plug-ins on the market. In short, Spiff is a transient control plug-in, but it is so much more. Their goals are simple as stated on their website, “instead of crowding the marketplace with more of the same basic tools everyone has access to inside their DAW, we search for new solutions to time-consuming problems.” I love them already!! A clear, concise vision to bring new tools to the market place.
oeksound is a relatively new plug-in company from Helsinki, Finland, founded in 2016 by Olli Keskinen. Having used oeksound Soothe and the updated Soothe2, it didn’t take much for me to have a gander at Spiff plugin when asked.
