Transient shaper · v1.4.0

PushBack

Push loops back.
Keep the beat alive.

When a drum or a loop feels too close and in your face, PushBack pushes it back with one knob. Or brings it closer. No engineering lesson needed.

The problem you can already hear

The loop is good. But you can’t push it behind.

A normal transient shaper starts with Attack and Sustain. PushBack starts with one simple decision: Front or Back?

Starting points for real beat sessions

Presets that will get the job done for you.

The library covers gentle and hard pushback, Tamil and Indian percussion, EDM loops, stronger forward shaping and parallel processing. You can still configure every knob manually.

  1. 01
    Punch

    Changes how hard the first hit lands. Turn left for softer hits or right for more impact.

    Placement

    Your main decision. Turn Back to soften the first hit. Turn Front to add attack and bring it closer.

  4. 04
    Mix

    Blends PushBack with the original. 0% is untouched; 100% is fully processed.

  5. 05

Fifteen years of beat production behind the plugin.

I am SpinZ CZ. Busy percussion, kuthu patterns, tabla, urumi and EDM loops can have the right energy while their attack and tail take too much space. PushBack gives that problem one clear control, then keeps the useful manual controls close.

Early Access formats

Mac and Windows. One license.

The current Early Access release supports Windows and macOS. Because the installers are unsigned, your computer may show a security warning during installation. That warning does not mean PushBack is a virus.

Updates included

Every update, ready in My Account.

I keep improving PushBack with feedback from producers like you. Whenever a new version is ready, I email you and put the download in My Account.

An honest difference

Your DAW may already have a transient shaper.

PushBack gives you ready-made presets for common beat problems, plus one simple Front / Back control when you want to adjust the sound yourself.

Perceived depth is also affected by level, EQ, arrangement, saturation and reverb. PushBack is a focused transient processor; it does not replace every other mix decision.

Before you buy

Questions beatmakers ask.

Where should I insert PushBack?
Put it directly on the drum, percussion, sample or loop you want to shape. PushBack changes only the sound on that channel.
Can PushBack work on a single drum?
Yes. Use it on a kick, snare, clap, hat, percussion track, sampled loop or full drum loop.
What do Back and Front actually do?
Back softens the first hit so it sits farther back. Front adds attack and brings it closer. The centre is neutral.
What does Keep Low Punch do?
It protects low-frequency impact while the rest of the sound is shaped. Turn it on when the kick or low percussion becomes weaker than you want.
Does Start Over scan the audio?
No. Start Over immediately restores the neutral Original state.
What does the Transient View show?
The top waveform is the Original input and the bottom waveform is the Processed output. The readouts report attack, body and level-matching changes from the real processor.
What is the Early Access price?
PushBack is RM143 during Early Access. The regular price will be RM200.
Is PushBack included in a plan?
Yes. The Pro plan includes PushBack and AutoRes while you stay on Pro. Buy it here instead to keep it for good, with no plan needed. Free and Standard plans do not include plugins.
Which formats are included?
macOS Universal Audio Unit and VST3, plus Windows x64 VST3. One purchase unlocks every current platform build in My Account.
Are the Early Access installers signed?
Not yet. macOS Gatekeeper or Windows SmartScreen may warn. Follow the official guide, never disable security, and download only from My Account. Later signed updates are included without buying again.
How do delivery and activation work?
After Stripe confirms payment, My Account shows protected downloads, checksums and your unique PBK1 serial. Install PushBack, open it in your DAW, paste the serial and activate online. The gear icon shows the active serial in read-only form.
