04 - I wish I knew when I started! - Attack #shorts

Attack – The initial part of an ADSR envelope – describes the amount of time for a sound to reach maximum amplitude in milliseconds or seconds. Faster attack sounds plucky and comes in straight away (low milliseconds), slower attack sounds spacey and takes a while to fade in (high seconds).

The attack stage is the first part of an ADSR envelope and refers to the time it takes for a sound to reach its maximum volume after the initial trigger. This stage is where the sound builds from silence to its full volume level.

The length of the attack stage determines how quickly or slowly the sound reaches its full volume, which can have a significant impact on the overall character of the sound. For example, a short attack time can create a sharp, percussive sound, while a longer attack time can create a smoother, more gradual build-up.

So, if you're a producer or sound designer, be sure to experiment with the attack stage on your ADSR envelopes to achieve the desired sound and feel of your instruments or sounds. It's a small but powerful tool in your sound design arsenal!
