Hey guys, I'm trying to understand when to use a Transient designer. Since they have no threshold settings, what exactly are they doing? Say you put one on a snare and reduce -3db. Does the TD know to only effect the transient of the snare by 3db? Does it release as soon as the attack has passed?
Also, can't you setup a compressor to do that exact same thing? So is a TD just a quicker/simpler compressor?
Just trying to figure out why one would ever use a TD since it seems to do the same as a compressor yet has less control.
