smart:reverb 2

Note: Owners of smart:reverb version 1 can upgrade here. Owners of any other sonible product can crossgrade here.

smart:reverb 2 is a content-aware reverb plug-in that combines intelligent processing with seamless multi-track integration, offering intuitive control over space and depth – whether on single tracks or full arrangements.

Key Features

• Inter-plugin communication for easy depth staging across multiple tracks
• AI-processing for custom-tailored reverb
• Reverb matrix for seamless browsing between room, hall, spring and plate reverb

Group Mode: One space, multiple tracks 

Featuring inter-plugin communication, smart:reverb 2 allows multiple plug-in instances to work together in real-time – making it easier than ever to position sound sources in a shared acoustic space. The intelligent processing enables intuitive depth-staging while automatically maintaining clarity and control, all from a single window. This feature redefines how reverb behaves in complex mixes and allows for smooth tinkering with new sonic ideas.  
 
A reverb that listens 

The first version of smart:reverb introduced the source-adaptive reverb – one that analyzes the audio material and builds a reverb response that complements both the sonic texture and dynamics of the source. Instead of generic presets, users get a reverb that fits naturally. For version 2, this has been widened to a holistic, content-aware approach. The processing has also been massively improved and there’s more intuitive functionality to discover as well.
 
New parameters – not just in name 

For smart:reverb 2, sonible rethought conventional parameters that reflect a reverb’s inner workings (like Decay Time and Pre-Delay) and created perception-based synergies. With smart:reverb 2’s main controls – Distance, Size and Width as well as Color and Clarity – users can make decisions in the context of their musical choices, not analog circuitry.

Four styles, one matrix and endless options 

While smart:reverb 2 uses content-aware analysis to ensure the reverb’s frequency response is a perfect match for the source signal, users still have full control over the spatial character. The Reverb Matrix allows for intuitive shaping between four classic reverb types: Room, Hall, Plate and Spring. Using the 2D interface, users can blend multiple styles to create a reverb that aligns precisely with their creative intentions.
 
A workflow that thinks alongside the mix

smart:reverb 2 introduces an intelligent workflow that adapts seamlessly to a user’s creative process. They can define an acoustic space using intuitive, perception-based controls, position multiple sources within this environment, and rely on AI-driven processing to maintain clarity and cohesion across the mix. As creative adjustments are made, the plug-in automatically ensures spatial integrity, allowing for exploration and creativity without compromising the overall sound quality. This integration of intelligent processing and user control streamlines complex mixing tasks, making smart:reverb 2 an indispensable tool for modern audio production.

Features
