Baby Audio has teamed up with renowned YouTuber Andrew Huang to release Transit - a feature-packed transition designer FX plugin for build-ups, drops, motion effects, risers and sweeps. We have the details…
To craft creative transitions that build excitement between song parts, producers typically rely on an array of tracks, plugins, and an overwhelming volume of automation lanes. Transit has been developed to streamline this procedure to the use of a single plugin.
It hosts 18 powerful effect-modules, freely loadable across 7 slots according to user preference. All effect parameters can be linked to a global Macro Control, which can be automated to create complex FX transitions with one knob movement. As a result, users can create more captivating and dynamic mixes.
The collection of effect modules are specifically designed for transitions and includes a selection of timeless modulation effects, choices for distortion and degradation, motion FX, reverb, delay, two distinct filter types, and a synth oscillator and noise generator to infuse risers and sweeps into transitions.
A flexible randomization engine allows specific random-ranges and lock modules / parameters to be set to only randomize certain parts of the plugin with interesting results. Baby Audio have also included a ‘motion sequencer’, switching to this mode allows users to program and trigger DAW-sync’ed transitions with the click of a button. Each transition will start exactly at the next bar making it ideal for live use or for writing perfectly timed automations into your mix session without entering the automation lanes.
Furthermore, engaging Loop mode in the Sequencer makes transitions pulse back and forth indefinitely, making for a ‘LFO tool’ for adding constant FX movements to tracks.
Transit includes over two hundred presets created by Andrew Huang and leading sound designers and offer a wide variety of options across different genres and use-cases. Baby Audio state that more modules and preset expansions will be released in the near future.
Of the partnership with Baby Audio, Andrew Huang says, “The whole design process was so collaborative, we made every decision together. We were super aligned on almost all of it but then the stuff where we might have disagreed at first, we talked it out and we figured out the best solution for every little detail about this plugin. The whole team and I are 100% excited about what we’ve created with Transit and I hope you can see the value and the creativity in it, we’d love to see what you do with it.”
