Groove-Making with TransFuser

The way we can manipulate audio today is amazing. My first sampler was an ASR-10, then Kurzweil K-2000.

When I learned that I could record grooves from vinyl and re-trigger them with a key on the keyboard then organize them into a sequence using the onboard sequencer it was also amazing. Then computers came into the picture with powerful editing software (i.e. protools).

The evolution of graphic waveform editing in DAW`s increased my workflow tremendously. The process was very time consuming and tedious but still very manageable. However today’s sample recording and playback devices have all become more powerful and reliable in the form of virtual instruments. One of my favorites is called Transfuser.

Transfuser allows me to drag and drop samples right from my timeline in ProTools. To get a groove going with this RTAS plug-in is faster than ever. It’s filled with stock grooves loops and sound FX. If you want to use more custom loops and grooves you can access your hard drive right from the Virtual instrument.

Time stretch audition features allow you to hear the loops in tempo with you Protools session. The unique M.A.R.I.O feature allows you to change the groove in real time to any groove. This “re-sampling” technique used to take hours and multiple pieces of software and hardware. Now with Transfuser you can record edit sample and re-sample in minutes. All inside transfusers GUI.
