This plugin kills static mixes! We teamed up with Andrew Huang to create Transit: A multi-FX plugin that’ll give your mix transitions super powers. Use it for build-ups, drops, motion effects, risers and sweeps – and keep your listeners constantly engaged. An Easier Way To Create Better Transitions: Transit hosts 18 powerful effect-modules, freely loadable across 7 slots. All effect parameters can be linked to a global Macro Control, which you automate to create complex FX transitions with one knob movement. A Creative Playground: The 18 effect modules in Transit are purpose-designed for transition duties. You get classic modulation effects, distortion and degradation options, motion FX, reverb, delay, two filter types – and even a synth oscillator and noise generator for adding risers and sweeps to your transitions. The Motion Sequencer: Switch from Macro Mode to Sequencer Mode to program and trigger DAW-sync’ed transitions with the click of a button. Each transition will start exactly at the next bar. This is ideal for live use. Or for writing perfectly timed automations into your mix session without entering the automation lanes. What's new in the iOS version: * Play View: A view that lets you trigger and control transitions without the visual clutter. * Ability to zoom in on individual modules for increased precision. * Easy-export your desktop presets to iOS by hitting the "E" key in your desktop version (v1.2 or later) and following the instructions. TL;DR * The ultimate plugin for creating complex, hand-raising, and jaw-dropping FX transitions with one knob movement * Perfect for building excitement between song parts and adding little moments of ear candy to your productions * Can be controlled with a single Macro Knob or a Motion Sequencer that triggers DAW-sync’ed automations at the click of a button * Engage “Sequencer Loop” mode to use Transit as an LFO tool for constant FX movements across entire tracks * A creative playground, suitable for both studio and live use

Things - Voice is a simple one-knob "throw it on and it sounds good" compressor for voice-over and vocals. Based on our channel strip Dials it gives you everything you need to make your voice loud yet smooth. The compressor is an unusual and complex design from a German 1950 radio broadcast instrument. If you desire to get even closer to that unit's vintage tone, add authentically modded tube gain with the saturation button. For an authoritative bass boost we have added a rather euphonic EQ that excites just the right frequencies. This is the seventh plugin in our ongoing collaboration with Berlin musician and video personality Hainbach.

Verdict

Things's advantage is price ($6.99 vs $29.99) and rating (5.0 vs 3.8). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
