Add space and vibe to your dry recordings
For any music producer, you will understand the importance of reverb within a mix. It helps to give dimension, space, width and realism to sound sources that could otherwise sound too dry, monotonous and lifeless. Reverb is a unique effect, in that its sole purpose is not to be used to transform a sound from one thing to another as is the case with phasers or flangers, but instead, it needs to serve the performance and enhance what is already there. Because of this, reverb needs to highlight the musicality and melody in what you are performing and this is exactly where Verberate 2 shines.
Instruments recorded in dry rooms with little to no room microphone influence can benefit from the natural ambience that Verberate 2 can bring to your tracks. Whether you're looking to add extra decay to a drum kit or add a natural ambience to a vocal track recorded in a dead room, Verberate 2 can do it all.
Authentic simulations of real spaces
Several highly realistic spaces have been accurately distilled into Verberate 2, letting you explore unique soundscapes ranging from small vocal rooms to large, deep caves. Each real space features unique variations in characteristics due to the change in air pressure and current. These differences may seem subtle but they have a big impact on the reverb tail, altering how your signal naturally decays. New to Verberate 2 is the Vivid Hall algorithm which authentically models these slight variations without any resonances or other distracting artefacts to create the true sound of real hall spaces with a higher degree of realism.
Not simply limited to acoustic spaces, Verberate 2 also accurately simulates plate reverbs, with realistic dispersion and decay characteristics. Plate reverbs often present unique phenomena whereby the high frequencies travel faster than low-frequencies due to their wavelength, meaning they are moved around in the room much more. This is called Dispersion and plays a key part in the sound of plate reverbs. Verberate 2 has excelled at capturing this sonic curiosity through the Dispersion parameter, allowing you to realistically simulate differing reverb tail lengths of the high frequencies, that when combined with the Decay editor, gives you tremendous levels of customisation. Plates reverb are ideal for electronic-based music as they will often exude a transient rich character that helps to add punch and attack to your drums and electronic percussion, helping to cut through even the densest of mix.
Tailor your reverb to your mix
Where other reverb plugins may offer a static look into the sound of the reverb algorithm used, Verberate 2 goes one step beyond this to give you a plethora of tools to customise and craft your reverb exactly to your mix. Along with the traditional controls you'd expect from a reverb plugin, namely reverb time, room size, reverb level etc. Verberate 2 also presents the ability to process the early reflections and reverb tail independently, opening new worlds of tonal variation.
The 15 early reflection patterns offered are algorithmic, calculated in real-time and applied using convolution. A dense and resonance-free late reverb tail follows the early reflections, resulting in extremely convincing room simulations with impressive depth combined with the flexibility algorithmic reverbs are known for.
Perhaps most important of all is the two graphical EQs that are delivered in a sleek and familiar user interface, with a simple click and drag controls. These graphics allow you to adjust the frequency-dependent decay time and the main output equaliser. The decay editor makes it possible to sculpt the frequency-dependent reverb decay, allowing you to exaggerate or reduce the frequency within the tail of your reverb. This is ideal when working with frequency-specific instruments such as a bass guitar or main vocal, customising the frequencies to your source for optimised fidelity. The main output EQ is ideal when working with large groups of instruments, or even full mixes, catering the reverb to the full frequency range for more or less pronounced frequencies.
Of course, for less acclaimed producers, Verberate 2 also offers a tremendous library of choice to dive right into what sounds can be produced by this versatile plugin, taking away any barriers that might inhibit your musical output. These sounds are arranged in specific folders, with the ability to save your favourites as presets to recall in future sessions.
