In the ever-evolving landscape of audio processing, Antares takes center stage once again with the introduction of its latest gem - Vocal Reverb. Designed to cater to the discerning needs of musicians, producers, and audio enthusiasts, this plug-in comes loaded with a plethora of features that promise to redefine the way vocals are treated in the studio.

Versatility in Sound Sculpting

At the heart of Vocal Reverb lies a diverse array of reverbs - Hall, Plate, and Room modes - ensuring a versatile range that can be meticulously crafted to complement any musical material. Adding to its sonic arsenal are Mono and Stereo Ping Pong delay modes, providing users with an expansive palette for creativity.

Customization at Your Fingertips

Antares goes a step further by empowering users to tailor their sound with five pre-reverb processors (Pitch, Throat, Tube, De-Esser, and Reverse), and five post-reverb effects (Tone Shaper, Compressor, Gate, Auto-EQ, Width). These features not only offer flexibility but also open doors to endless sonic possibilities.

Intuitive Control Interface

The default display of Vocal Reverb presents users with a streamlined set of controls, focusing on key parameters such as pre-delay, size, damping, modulation width, and depth. A dedicated delay section comes complete with its own set of controls, providing precision in time, mix, feedback, and lowpass adjustments. The GUI section on the right-hand side hosts Mix and Width controls, alongside a knob defining the amount of Auto-EQ applied. For advanced users, an optional Advanced view unlocks additional pre- and post-reverb effects, paving the way for even more creative exploration.

AI-Powered Reverb Assistance

A standout feature of Vocal Reverb is the Reverb Assist function, powered by artificial intelligence. This innovative tool allows users to select their desired reverb style, prompting the plug-in to suggest optimal settings. Users can preview and apply these recommendations seamlessly, streamlining the process of achieving the perfect reverb. Complementing this is the Auto-EQ function, utilizing Antares' proprietary Auto-Tune pitch tracking technology to dynamically attenuate conflicting frequencies in the reverb decay, preserving clarity in the mix.

Seamless Integration and Accessibility

Antares ensures broad accessibility with Vocal Reverb, compatible with PCs running Windows 10 or 11 and Macs running macOS 11 and above. The plug-in is available in VST3, AU, and AAX versions, catering to various digital audio workstations.

Pricing and Availability

Vocal Reverb is now available for purchase at $129, a package that includes a complimentary one-year subscription to Auto-Tune Producer. Alternatively, users can opt for the Auto-Tune Unlimited subscription bundle, priced at $24.99 per month or $174.99 per year, providing a comprehensive suite of Antares' cutting-edge tools.
