Default Transient Detection : user error or room for improvement?

Hi Reaper people

I’ve been doing quite some transient detection to cut up
recorded audio over the years into snippets, for my own library
of multisamples, drum kits, hits

There is something I don’t understand about the Transient Detection’s inner
working in the context of Dynamic Split

Tried now on a series of drumhits in items

When I carefully adjust the settings ie reducing the number of splits, the minimum
duration of samples, transient detection settings etc... I get correct detection for most of the hits
but then if a softer high hat remains undetected, lowering the threshold of the detection or
augmenting the number of splits, when the transient gets detected it also cuts up snares and kicks
in several pieces

Secondly, after having done the splits, for the kicks the position of the split is often precise, but the snare
some of the attack is cut, and for high hats a longer portion of the transient is missing

So, after the dynamic split there is quite some adjusting to do

Healing splits is a welcome function

But I wonder, is there something somewhere I am missing to get these less than ideal results or
might it be a shortcoming in the transient detection?

What makes me think about the latter is that when I use Trigger2 (Plugin) to replace some drum sounds,
the transient detection is quite spot on

Has anybody encountered this, and is there something to do to enhance the detection and splitting?

Or might this go to the feature request area?

Thanks for any info

Nico

In my experience it's not that good. I've tried adjusting the threshold and all that, but it either ignores obvious hits or adds hits that are obviously not transients.

There's workarounds: for example duplicating the track, filtering down to the transients with an EQ and adding the markers, then copying the markers back up to the original track. But it would be nice if the detection was more accurate.

Thanks Valy for your feedback and workaround, indeed tighter integration would be
fab

Anyone else has similar findings or tricks?
