Nick Blanc Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Just a year after part 1, we already get part 2. No free upgrade. From their email: Quote Get ready for the sequel that kills static mixes. Transit 2 is the vastly expanded next chapter of our collaboration with Andrew Huang. Use 6 different motion modes to control 28 effect modules and create endless forms of movement to energize your tracks. From addictive rhythmic FX motion to powerful transitions that sweep your listeners off their feet. Boring mixes end with Transit 2. ❗ Upgrade Offer For Transit 1 Owners: $29 (Save 77% - Reg: $129) You can get it through their website https://babyaud.io/transit where it's: Quote Intro Sale: Save 40% - Reg: $129 // BUY NOW - $79 I haven't checked out if the new features are worth an upgrade. But seeing I have only used part 1 a couple (literally) of times, I think I'm fine without it. Actually, this is new: Quote What’s New in v2 ■ 4 New Motion Modes: LFO, Follower, Sidechain and Gate. ■ 10 New Effects: Warp, Loop, Reverser, Speaker, EQ, Analog Chorus, Shifter +, Mod Filter, Retroverb, Compressor. ■ Options to link Global Mix and Output to the Motion Mode. ■ Major redesign with improvements in workflow/performance and 469 new presets. I actually a bit surprised part 1 didn't have those motion modes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brando Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 (edited) Ultimately it's all about eliminating the need for multiple automation lanes by putting (way too many) controls on the transit knob. The effects are ok/good, you get 10 more with version 2 but it's the ability to meld these together and to have them all controlled so easily from the transit knob. That makes transit so unique. I use a little Akai lp8 mkIi in Studio one. When transit is active the first rotary is assigned to the transit knob and the second is to the mix% knob. Once your presets are set up and saved the way you want them, that's all you need. 2 knobs to control multiple effects (28 different effects in v2) each with automatically modulating effect parameters. Lots of motion very easily. It's designed for transitions/ear candy. Instant risers, falls, fx, modulation. If you have version 1, $29 gets you new modes (lfo, gate, side chain, sequencer, macro, and follower (which is really good in how it responds to a more or less busy/aggressive mix) to control the transit knob. I still use simple automation of the transit knob but for gate type effects, stutter effects, tying effects to a kick or bassline, the other options add to its versatility. You also get the 10 additional effects (28 total). Some of these are a bit cheesy but might find a home for a specific use. I wouldn't say v2 is night and day better than v1. But $29 is excellent value for a $79 plugin that adds a ton of versatility to it. If you intended Transit to be used as a multi effect there's probably better options. But nothing else (IMO) gives you easy control of so many effects and their parameters and begs to be tweaked. Not affiliated with Baby Audio in any way, FWIW.
