SpatialVerb: Discover the True Space in Your Mixes
Creating a convincing sense of space and depth is one of the key tasks in modern sound design and music production. High-quality reverb can “revive” any recording, placing instruments or vocals in a realistic acoustic environment. However, finding a plugin that combines the accuracy of early reflection simulation with a musical and smooth “tail” of reverb can be difficult.
Introducing SpatialVerb from ExperimentalScene – a unique reverb plugin designed to create extremely realistic and natural acoustic spaces. It uses an innovative approach, combining advanced room modeling technology for early reflections and a specialized delay network for late reverb.
Realistic Room Modeling and Ray Tracing
A distinctive feature of SpatialVerb is its ability to accurately model the acoustics of a virtual room using ray tracing technology. This allows for the calculation of an extremely realistic impulse response of early reflections, which is critically important for the perception of the size and shape of the space.
You get full control over the virtual acoustic environment:
- You can adjust the size of the virtual room, creating spaces from small studio rooms to huge halls.
- The plugin allows you to freely place up to two virtual sound sources (stereo input), simulating the location of instruments or vocalists.
- You can also position up to two virtual microphones (stereo output), simulating different listening points in the room.
Such detailed control over the geometry and location of elements in the virtual space ensures that the early reflections will precisely match the acoustics of the modeled room, providing an impressive sense of presence.
Smooth and Musical Reverb “Tail”
Unlike many other reverb algorithms, which can create unwanted ringing or metallic timbre in the late reverb, SpatialVerb uses a Circulant Feedback Delay Network (CFDN). This technology provides an extremely smooth, natural, and musical “tail” of reverb with minimal ringing.
You can fine-tune the CFDN parameters so that the late reverb smoothly and organically transitions from the early reflections, creating a single and compelling acoustic environment:
- Feedback: Controls the duration of the reverb “tail” and the density of reflections.
- Cutoff: Allows you to shape the timbre of the late reverb, simulating the absorption of high frequencies in real space.
- Gain: Adjusts the overall volume of the reverb “tail”.
The ability to precisely adjust these parameters allows you to perfectly integrate the effect into your mix, avoiding conflicts and maintaining signal clarity.
