Joey Sturgis Tones Transify
The Transify plug-in (Available in AAX64, AU, RTAS, VST) is a multi-band transient modifier that allows separate adjustment of the attack and sustain components of complex sound using four, overlapping frequency bands. The four bands are Bass, Low Mid, Mid, and Treble. In addition, each band has a Cut-Off control that sets the amount of that band's processing effect on the adjacent section(s). Besides the individual section bypass buttons, there is a Clip button that seems to put that section just "a little over the top" in an aggressive way.

In Pro Tools HDX 12.4, I found Transify just the tool when trying to get more punch out of a stereo drum loop--I had no separate drum tracks to work with, just the loop.

I was able to increase the attack of the low and high frequencies of the kit at the same time to create a "taller" overall drum sound.

I obtained more of the room's sound and overhead "air" out of the loop by increasing the Sustain control in the Treble section. Oppositely using the Bass section, I increased the attack of the kick drum somewhat and also, using the Low Mid section, increased the attack of the snare frequencies but did not applied as much Sustain. The Low Mid's Cut-Off control was maxed to the right to minimize any of its processing on the Bass section.

With separate Input and Output faders and a polarity flip for the output path (in case you're using it as a parallel processor), Transify is a wonderful and simple mixing tool. I look forward to more from Joey's JST; it sells for $65 and you can download it from: joeysturgistones.com/products/transify
