What is audio-transients?
(typical when talking about comressors..)
Thanks!

peaks in a wave form ............ your commonly compress the peaks with compressors, a good example of a unwanted transient is rim shot in a snare track. Hope that was simple enough x.
Blue2, Sounds like a beginning of something there. I begin to get some images of Hobos singing playing harmonica on a train as it rolls by. I guess you'd call dem de "In Transients" vs Vagabonds who have to slug it out on foot.
Alluminum, Transients are a bit different than just normal audio peaks. You dont have to compress all the peaks down to get rid of them and if they are in the background and you compress they can actually be amplified making the problem worse.
I had a song the other day that I couldnt burn to a CD it kept coming up with a data error and it was driving me nuts. The song sounded fine but something was causing it. I went back to the mix solo each track with cranked volume. Found some high FQ crackel on an overhead that was too hot. Might have been peaking slightly above 0db tracking. I used a waves crackle remover on the track and it cleaned it up and it fixed the issue burning.
It wasnt easy to spot in that case, and the fix worked without affecting the sound of that one mic too much. Overall the mix sounded exactly the same.
You can hear transients clearly when you use a crackel plug in and set it for differential. You'll hear whats being removed from the track only which is handy so you can make adjustments to remove only the noise peaks and leave the musical content untouched.
