The Most Detailed Convolution Reverb
Introducing our first ever effects plug-in AIR Studios Reverb, an immensely detailed convolution reverb — created in collaboration with the team at London’s iconic AIR Studios. Using our very own “Virtual Positioning Technology”, you can position your sounds anywhere in the legendary Lyndhurst Hall - one of the world’s most sought-out recording spaces.
Our Spitfire engineering team have curated a selection of 64 presets to suit different instruments based on real life mixing practises, and to create a selection of standard reverb modes and spaces. Adjust the canopy height, material, hall layout and gallery dampening and blend a huge variety of canopy, backs and binaural microphone signals to fully control your sound.
Introductory pricing available until June 16th.
The Pinnacle of Convolution with Spitfire Audio's Virtual Positioning Technology
After two years of meticulous research and development, Spitfire Audio proudly presents AIR Studios Reverb – a revolutionary convolution reverb that breaks new ground in sonic authenticity.
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.
Unveiling the Power of 67,000 Impulse Responses
Spitfire Audio has taken the concept of Impulse Response (IR) capturing to an unprecedented level, recording over 67,000 IRs to be able to recreate a plethora of positions and configurations in the hall.
The Hall: An Audio Experience Like No Other
In AIR Studios’ “The 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, this allows you to position your virtual sound source facing either direction and capture the essence of these legendary recordings.
