A must have plugin
Be it the Universal Audio version or the Plugin Alliance Version, this plugin is kind of important in my workflow to shape drums and other percussive sounds to make them stand out even more in nowadays music. Everything is about being direct and clear and kind of hyperrealistic, and this is where this plugin helps if you are after that and music production is your living.

hello i've seen your comment on rebirth ipad and i wonder if you still have the ipa file. I'm still running ios 10 and cannot upgrade without losing rebirth because i don' have the 64 bits version (didn't see that it had been updated before propellerhead was asked by roland to stop it) I still have old itunes and i can put ipa files in ipad; If you still have it you save me! thanks arnaud

In this video at 9:26 René from Black Sun Empire can be seen using this plugin. He says: "This is another trick you can do to add different layers [of drums] because the attack is always gonna be a problem, so if you have different attacks from either snares or kicks sometimes it's better to take out a bit of the attack, and this plugin does it".
Michael says he uses the UAD SPL Transient Designer Plug in
Used on the tom for some of Anthem of the Peaceful Army, including "When the Curtain Falls" and "Lover Leaver", as stated by mix engineer Al Sutton in this January 2019 Sound on Sound interview.
"I used to send the toms through a BBE 442 to give them more attack, but that piece of kit recently died, so on some tracks, like 'Lover Leaver', I instead tried the SPL Transient Designer plug-in to do the same thing."
Listen on the equipment page of artist's website, also seen in studio photos and interview videos. Version number is not confirmed.
In the video "Vance Powell: Recording Rock," provided by Sound On Sound magazine, Grammy-winning producer and engineer Vance Powell is seen at 14:59 demonstrating the use of the Universal Audio SPL Transient Designer Plug-In within Pro Tools.
