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.

Watch it in action

Early Access · One purchase, both platforms.

**The actual plug-in, start to finish.** See presets, Front / Back placement, live waveforms and the finishing controls in one walkthrough. Yep, that’s an Indian folk beat in the video. Triplets are underrated little gems, and notoriously stubborn to shape without losing their groove.

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?**

Back · softer attack Front · stronger attack

### 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.

**PushBack · Preset Library** 16 starting points

Neutral **Original**

Back **Sit Back**

Back **Behind The Vocal**

Back **Deep In The Mix**

Back **Soften Harsh Hits**

Indian **Tabla Tuck**

Tamil **Kuthu Sit Back**

Tamil **Urumi Tame**

Front **Bring Forward**

Front **Snare Crack**

Front **Kick Slap**

Front **Loop Sharpen**

Shape **More Punch**

Shape **Bigger Body**

Shape **Tight & Dry**

Parallel **Parallel Smack**

#### Choose a direction. Then make it yours.

Choosing a preset replaces the current settings as one undoable move. Turn Placement first, then change Punch, Body, Mix or Output only when you hear a clear reason.

Every control explained

#### Five knobs. One clear job each.

1. 01

  **Punch**

  Changes how hard the first hit lands. Turn left for softer hits or right for more impact.
2. 02

  **Body**

  Changes what stays after the hit. Turn left for a shorter tail or right for a fuller sound.
3. 03

  **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

  **Output**

  Trims the processed sound before Mix blends it with the original.

Step 01

#### Insert PushBack

Place it on one drum, percussion track, sample or full loop.

Step 02

#### Press play

Use a section where the sound is active.

Step 03

#### Turn Placement

Back softens the hit. Front adds attack.

Step 04

#### Finish the result

Adjust Punch or Body, then compare at the same loudness.

### Made for simplicity.

#### 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.

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.

|  | Typical stock transient shaper | PushBack |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Main decision | Attack and Sustain | Back or Front |
| Ready-made presets | Varies | 16 presets for common beat problems |
| Starting state | Manual | Original, ready immediately |
| Main manual controls | Varies | Punch and Body |
| Low-end protection | Varies | Keep Low Punch |
| Show what changed | Envelope or gain meter | Original and processed waveforms |
| Fix arrangement, EQ or reverb problems | No | No. Use the right tool for that |

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.
