The included effect plug-ins
Ö Cubase only: Note that the options in the Surround
section on the far right of the RoomWorks panel are avail-
able only when using the plug-in as an insert for a surround-
enabled track.
RoomWorks SE
RoomWorks SE is a “lite” version of the RoomWorks plug-
in. This plug-in delivers high quality reverberation, but has
fewer parameters and is less CPU demanding than the full
version. RoomWorks SE has the following parameters:
Spatial plug-ins
This section contains descriptions of the plug-ins in the
“Spatial” category.
MonoToStereo
This effect will turn a mono signal into a “pseudo-stereo”
signal. The plug-in must be inserted on a stereo track
playing a mono file to work.
The parameters are as follows:
Export This button determines if during audio export Room-
Works will use the maximum CPU power for the highest
quality reverb or not. You may wish to keep a higher effi-
ciency setting for a desired effect during export. If you
want the highest quality reverb during export make sure
this is selected (yellow circle around button).
Parameter Description
Pre-Delay The amount of time before the onset of reverb. This al-
lows you to simulate larger spaces by increasing the time
it takes for first reflections to reach the listener.
Reverb Time Reverb Time in seconds.
Diffusion This affects the character of the reverb tail. Higher diffu-
sion is smoother while less diffusion can be clearer. This
emulates changing the types of surfaces in a room (brick
vs. carpet for instance).
High Level
Amount
This affects the decay time of high frequencies. Normal
room reverb decays quicker in the high and low frequency
range than in the midrange. Lowering the level percentage
will cause high frequencies to decay quicker. Values above
100% will cause high frequencies to decay longer than
the midrange.
Low Level
Amount
This affects the decay time of low frequencies. Normal
room reverb decays quicker in the high and low frequency
range than in the midrange. Lowering the level percentage
will cause low frequencies to decay quicker. Values above
100% will cause low frequencies to decay longer than the
midrange.
Mix Determines the blend of dry (unprocessed) signal to wet
(processed) signal. When using RoomWorks SE inserted
in an FX channel, you will most likely want to set this to
100% or use the Send button.
Parameter Description
Parameter Description
Width This controls the width or depth of the stereo enhance-
ment. Turn clockwise to increase the enhancement.
Delay This parameter increases the amount of differences be-
tween the left and right channels to further increase the
stereo effect.
Color This parameter also generates differences between the
channels to increase the stereo effect.
Mono This switches the output to mono, to check for possible
unwanted coloring of the sound which sometimes can
occur when creating an artificial stereo image.
