Quick start
What Transit is, and three steps to a first sound.
Transit re-plays your audio through a broken transmission path — a telephone line, a '90s game console, an AM radio, a flaky voice chat, or a cassette deck. One device at a time, six controls, no page two.
Use it anywhere a sound is too clean: lead vocals, drum buses, synth pads, whole mixes. It runs mono or stereo and reports its latency to your DAW, so the processed signal stays in time.
- 1
Pick a device. Each one is a complete signal path, not a preset — start with Telephone to hear the idea.
- 2
Push Amount. It is the one-knob depth of the whole device: bandwidth, grit, and wobble all follow it.
- 3
Set Mix. 100% is the full transmission; pull back toward 30–50% for parallel character. The blend is loudness-matched, so it never dips as you sweep.
Tip
The defaults are a safe landing: Amount 50%, Tone 50%, Noise 0%, Dropouts 0%. Noise and Dropouts are opt-in — at zero, Transit stays clean and steady.
Inside, the path is fixed: your signal enters the device (filters, grit, wobble), picks up the device's noise bed, passes the transmission-gap engine (the Dropouts control), and lands in an equal-power wet/dry blend against a latency-aligned dry copy. Output trims the result.
