Transient Master is a dynamics processor audio plugin by Native Instruments, available as Audio Unit (AU), VST, and AAX formats. It is designed to reshape the attack and sustain characteristics of audio, making it an essential tool for mixing drums, percussion, guitars, and other instruments with intrinsic transients. The plugin features three main controls—Attack, Sustain, and Gain—that allow precise positioning of sounds in the mix without relying on volume adjustments alone. It is widely used by music producers, mixing engineers, and studios to fix problematic recordings, enhance punch and definition, and bring clarity to dense mixes. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
