Antares Audio Technologies has introduced Vocal Reverb, a new audio plugin, for Mac & Windows, that uses artificial intelligence to “speed up the process of creating a great sounding reverb.”
The plugin’s Auto-EQ technology uses Auto-Tune pitch tracking to clean up the reverb tail, tracking the singer’s pitch and dynamically reducing the fundamental frequency range in the reverb tail. Antares says that this results in a reverb that musically blends with the vocal.
Vocal Reverb offers three reverb styles and two Delay types. When the advanced panel is expanded, five Pre-Verb Effects and five Post-Verb Effects are displayed to use for more creative results.
Features:
- AI Assist for quick reverb settings.
- Auto-EQ powered by Auto-Tune Pitch Tracking Technology.
- 3 reverb algorithms: Hall, Plate, Room.
- 2 delay types: Mono, Stereo Ping Pong.
- 5 Pre-verb effects: Pitch, Throat, Tube, De-Esser, Reverse.
- 5 post-verb effects: Auto-EQ, Tone Shaper, Compressor, Gate, Width.
- Apple Silicon Native M1/Pro/Max/Ultra compatibility.
Pricing and Availability:
Vocal Reverb is available now for $129 USD.
Weird sales pitch. “AI speeds up creating”
I guess I’m at that point where I’m struggling to keep up.
Auto-EQ seems more like a specialist tool for mastering engineers than something the usual player would need. If you just do instrumental synth work, its like a glorified effect. If you do a fair amount of vocal work, the AI aspect makes sense. Its a good demo, brief & to the point.
Four seconds into that video and I’m out. Clearly not in the target demographic.
