Attackease VST effect

Stereo version

Attackease is a VST effect for Windows.

It gets a mono/stereo input (i.e. a drum mic track) and separates the incoming audio in two/two pairs of tracks, attack and sustain, with selectable threshold and time constants.

Attack and sustain can be processed separately and then re-combined.

A limiter for the attack and a compressor for the sustain are included.

Really different from a simple compressor, any external processor can be used to further process attack and sustain.

Attackease is a drum replacer, too.

Select midi channel and note number, a midi note is sent on each attack (sample accurate and with velocity information).

Process the sidechain with internal filter or with external processing for better detection.

In this example the guy at the mixer forgot to record the bassdrum channel (!).

Recovered from the pan mics -> extrected transient with Attackease, replaced with a sample and mixed:
