One of the few things I miss about Logic is its "Enveloper" tool that is super dope for adding simple snap / punch to beats.
Can you think of an alternative for Live?

(I did try the free M4L effect, "EnvelopeShaper", but I don't think it does the job as well)

My preferred tool for that is Schaack Audio Transient Shaper.

a new rack was just released called Subharmonic that might do the trick...

SPL transient designer.
Using a compressor or expander in parallel can help as well.

Just discovered this a few weeks ago, it's an awesome tool and I've been using it a lot, definitely recommended.

vengeance samples are really punchy without even using any tools.... i always put a compressor on the whole beat too... im kind of a noob though so dont take my advice too seriously lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NA9mg0TSN0

Another SPL TD type device that is free:

Flux Bitter Sweet II ?

probably I m wrong, but aren't those transient designers, just compressors that let attack goes through ?

BitterSweet is decent, Stillwell's Transient Monster is another you could look at. It has a unrestricted demo that can be used forever, with no limitations (so in a way free, if you want it to be)

Throw stuff in a sampler and use the envelope controls!

Thanks!
Seems very legit!

And that Flux thing is nice as well!

Thanks

there's always the Multiband Dynamics device. it's well worth getting into it properly.
set the Amount to 50% and set up the 'Above' threshold(s) and ratio(s) to let through the transients.

For me the best way is to use a snappy sample and reduce the release time in simpler on a 2nd chain in Drumrack. You can add a Saturator/Tube & a Compressor. Works really well.
