The Pinnacle of Convolution with Spitfire Audio's Virtual Positioning Technology
After years of meticulous research and development, Spitfire Audio proudly presents AIR Studios Reverb Essentials– a revolutionary, effortless convolution reverb that continues to break new ground in sonic authenticity, available for everyone.
AIR Studios Reverb goes beyond traditional impulse responses, leveraging Spitfire Audio's proprietary Virtual Positioning Technology (VPT). This groundbreaking feature allows you to position your sound source anywhere within the legendary AIR Studios, capturing the precise ambience of its unique acoustic spaces.
An Audio Experience Like No Other
In AIR Studios’ “Lyndhurst Hall”, musicians traditionally face the control room, which creates a distinct reverb character. However, a lesser-known yet iconic sound is achieved with musicians facing the organ — a setup that’s synonymous with Hans Zimmer scores recorded at AIR.
To recreate both of these signature sounds within AIR Reverb, our team mirrored microphone placements on the hall floor. Combined with dedicated speaker positioning, the varied presets in AIR Studios Reverb Essentials allow you to position your virtual sound source facing either direction and capture the essence of these legendary recordings.
Key features
- Diverse preset library catering to various instruments, moods, and setups for an easy to use, out of the box reverb.
- Choose the position anywhere in The Hall, with proprietary Virtual Positioning Technology
- 64 carefully curated presets for beginners and pros alike.
