Variety of Sound’s latest release, FeenstaubTX, is a free transient exciter and expander plugin designed for Windows. It’s perfect for producers working with complex stereo material, allowing them to balance timbre, dynamics, and stereo field with subtle compression and expansion. If you’re looking for a tool that adds analog-like warmth and precision control over your sound’s transient behavior, FeenstaubTX delivers that yet effectively.
Personal Review
FeenstaubTX really stands out due to its musical approach to transient processing. While many exciters can easily lead to distortion when pushed too far, this plugin remains smooth and consistent. The Cross-Channel Processing feature, which lets you use one channel’s intensity to affect the other, is a unique and useful addition. It’s perfect for achieving stereo width and tonal control with minimal hassle. Variety of Sound continues to impress with their analog-style plugin designs, and this one is no exception.
