Virtual Positioning Technology
Virtual Positioning Technology is the cornerstone of this plug-in, enabling precise placement of sounds and musicians within Lyndhurst Hall. Users can drag and drop sources in mono or stereo configurations, adjusting directionality and radiation to simulate natural performance environments. This feature is particularly useful for recreating authentic spatial dynamics, whether for orchestral arrangements or intimate solo performances. Additionally, the ability to flip virtual performer and microphone setups ensures seamless adaptation to different hall configurations. By capturing the true acoustic signature of Lyndhurst Hall, Virtual Positioning Technology ensures a hyper-realistic sonic experience for recording professionals.
Customizable Hall Controls
The AIR Studios Reverb plug-in allows users to shape the hall's acoustic properties with a suite of adjustable controls. Hall layout inversion lets users modify microphone and performer configurations, while canopy height and material settings alter reverb decay and tonal characteristics. Choose between wood for brighter reflections or Melatech for softer, subdued reverberation. Gallery dampening adds absorption to reduce reverb time, ensuring precise tonal adjustments. These controls provide unmatched flexibility, making it easy to tailor the hall's reverb to suit diverse recording needs, from vibrant orchestral performances to controlled studio sessions.
Advanced Mixer for Signal Control
The integrated mixer offers a range of settings for shaping microphone signals and source characteristics. With options like tree, outriggers, binaural, ambient and gallery configurations, users can blend up to eight True Stereo mic signals to create depth and dimension. Input controls allow adjustments to ensemble size, gain and stereo width, while reverb settings include pre-delay and stretch controls for early reflections and tail enhancement. A 5-band graphical EQ, configurable as pre or post, enables further tonal refinement. This advanced mixer ensures fine-grained control over every aspect of the reverb signal, delivering professional-grade results.
Comprehensive Preset Library
The preset browser offers a diverse library designed to complement specific instruments, moods and setups. Curated by Spitfire Audio and industry-leading engineers, the presets simplify reverb selection for quick workflows while maintaining professional standards. From lush orchestral reverbs to intimate chamber reflections, the presets cover a wide range of applications. Users can also customize presets by blending mic signals, adjusting reverb decay and tweaking EQ settings. This comprehensive library ensures users can achieve optimal results with minimal setup, enhancing both creative and technical processes.
