a new way for tonal-transient shaping

dime [tt] (pronounced dime tee-tee) gives you the ability to process the transient and tonal components of your audio as completely independent tracks. what's more, instead of limiting you to a set of baked-in effects for transient shaping, dime [tt] lets you use your very own vst3 and audiounit plugins, providing you instead with a novel way to make the most out of your existing plugin library.

here is how it works:

1. split

first, dime [tt] splits your audio into its transient and tonal components in realtime.

with decay and sensitivity controls, you can dial in exactly how much of the transients you want to capture.

2. process

secondly, dime [tt] lets you create fx chains with your own favourite vst3/audiounit plugins, and process the transient and tonal components with them independently.

don't be limited by a thin built-in fx collection. with dime [tt], your entire plugin library is your playground.

3. tweak and mix

access your hosted plugin parameters via mappings, or directly via their native interface
bypass plugins, and dial-in each chain's mix with a dedicated dry/wet slider
re-order plugins on the fly

4. combine

finally, dime [tt] blends the transient and tonal components back together seamlessly and without artefacts. no need to setup auxiliary busses, custom routing, or sends.

features

separation controls

dial in your transient-tonal separation with two controls:

sensitivity: higher means more of the input will be classified as transient
decay: controls the length of the transient decay, after the signal which the signal is no longer classified as transient

plugin effect chains

build your own plugin effect chains:

host vst3 and audiounit plugins regardless of host plugin format.
control hosted plugins via native UIs or via mapped sliders
sidechain input routing to hosted plugins
drag-and-drop re-ordering of plugins

mixing controls

precise controls for dialing in your transient-tonal mix:

balance control to blend transient and tonal components
solo control and dry/wet mix for effect chain
bypass control for each plugin
global input gain, output gain, and dry/wet mix

pristine interface

modern minimalistic interface that is not stuck in the past century:

single-click license activation
choose your waveform display: simple brutalist style, or detailed waveform display for fine-tuned control
dark and light modes
