Sonnox Transmod AAX is out

[Neil Pickles]

States on Sonnox Facebook it's for Native and DSP unable to find the installer on Sonnox though so maybe Facebook is a bit premature.

Still good news next up is dynamics apparently.

I had a problem initially with the HDX version not being there but I emailed Sonnox and they fixed my link within 12 hours.

It seems to work OK 16 instances at 24 44100 per DSP like EQ with filters.

I've had zero issues so far with their AAX DSP EQ and INflator all works no bugs to report, great job.

They also said the rest of the Elite Bundle should be done by early 2013, so hopefully they are picking up the pace now.

Great PI can be a useful problem solver for crap dead snares etc.

I have at least one instance of this PI (HDX/DSP) in every session ive worked on in the past few days. It's a "must have".

I don't think its an "everyday" kind of plug in, it's a problem solver (loop needs more attack, dead snare drum needs a bit of bite) and a creative one "What will happen to the sound if I do this? but you need tools like this for these moments once in a while.

Inflator I don't use many instances of but 6% here and 7 % "there" can make difference.

It also helps when mastering to get a little extra volume (percieved) before hiting the Limiters, but again small amounts or else the sound "chokes"

I'd recommend the Entire Elite Bundle to anyone they are such good tools

Inflator is a godsend when you're mixing front of house :)

Got mad love for Inflator. It's not in every session but I use it often enough to never let it leave my plugin folder. Haven't really bonded with Transmod so far.

I don't understand this Inflator is Sonnox what has this to do with Waves? And the Original Poster you quote hasn't mentioned Waves?

Transmod is a great tool and has been a secret weapon of mine for years. It's more precise and better sounding than the SPL or Waves counterparts and I use it often to spice up flat percussive sounds. The only thing is that it is overloads easily, so I prefer to use it as RTAS so I can turn down the gain or put a brickwall limiter before fader.

Tell me about it. Would like to use it live but it's unusable as TDM because of this. Can only use it post which is kind of sad. But as you said, this will get a lot more love once HDX replaces HD3
