Mid/Side Transient Shaper for macOS
Dortran is a professional transient shaper plugin for macOS (AU & VST3). Powered by a high-fidelity DSP engine and Mid/Side processing, it gives you surgical control over attack and sustain across drums, vocals, and masters.
"As an independent developer, I build tools to solve my own studio frustrations. Dortran was engineered from the ground up for ultra-low CPU efficiency and surgical stereo stability. Try the 7-day demo completely free. If you do choose to buy it and it doesn't earn a permanent spot in your mixing template, just email support within 7 days for a full, hassle-free refund."
— Christopher Dorman, Creator of Dortran
Dortran is built around a custom DSP core engineered for ultra-precise transient control. Our shaping algorithm responds dynamically to each incoming signal, allowing surgical adjustment of both attack and sustain without introducing harshness or artifacts.
Dortran’s Mid/Side mode gives you advanced control over the stereo image of your transients. Sculpt punch and clarity in the center while enhancing spaciousness at the sides — ideal for mastering, drum busses, or wide sound design.
Dortran is currently available for macOS (Ventura 13.7 and above).
Instant download. No subscriptions, no renewal fees.
Fully compatible with macOS Ventura and later — Apple Silicon & Intel
