Its proprietary Virtual Positioning Technology lets you place a sound source anywhere in the Lyndhurst Hall, and the Spitfire engineering team curated 54 presets to suit different instruments based on real mixing practices, alongside a selection of standard reverb modes and spaces. + + Spitfire Audio recorded over 67,000 impulse responses for the plugin, in order to recreate a plethora of positions and configurations in the hall. Eight individual True Stereo mic signals can be blended, drawn from tree, outriggers, binaural, ambient, gallery wide and gallery far setups. - Ultra-detailed convolution reverb: air studios reverb captures the nuances of - the lyndhurst hall with incredible accuracy, thanks to thousands of - meticulously recorded impulse responses. Virtual positioning technology: - position your sound source anywhere within the hall, adjusting its distance, - angle, and orientation to create a truly immersive experience. Customizable - hall settings: tailor the acoustics of the hall with adjustable parameters - like canopy height, canopy material, and gallery damping. + In Lyndhurst Hall, musicians traditionally face the control room, which creates a distinct reverb character. A lesser-known yet iconic sound is achieved with musicians facing the organ, a setup synonymous with Hans Zimmer scores recorded at AIR. To recreate both signature sounds, the team mirrored microphone placements on the hall floor and combined them with dedicated speaker positioning, so a virtual sound source can face either direction. - Air studios reverb is a virtual effect audio plugin for macos and windows. It - functions as a VST plugin, an audio units plugin, a VST 3 plugin and an AAX - plugin. + Hall controls modify physical attributes of the room to shape the reverb tone and decay: Hall Layout inverts the room configuration for both microphones and player position, Canopy Height offers low, medium or high, Canopy Material chooses between Wood and Melatech, and Gallery Dampening adds absorption to the gallery portion of the hall to reduce reverb time. - Whether you're composing, mixing, or mastering, air studios reverb offers a - powerful and versatile tool for adding depth, dimension, and richness to your - tracks. + The interface is split across Virtual Positioning, Mixer, Source, Shape, EQ and Preset Browser pages. Source modifies the performers' radiation in the room and which way the source faces, Shape augments the reverb at various points in its decay, and a 5-band graphical EQ can be placed pre or post to shape either the input signal going into the hall or the hall reverb itself.
