CHAPTER 31
DreamVerb
Overview
DreamVerb™, Universal Audio’s flagship stereo reverb plug-in, draws on the
unparalleled flexibility of RealVerb Pro. Its intuitive and powerful interface lets
you create a room from a huge list of different materials and room shapes.
These acoustic spaces can be customized further by blending the different
room shapes and surfaces with one another, while the density of the air can
be changed to simulate different ambient situations.
DreamVerb also features a flexible 5-band active EQ and unique level ramp-
ing for the early and late reflections for ultra-realistic dynamic room simula-
tion. And with Universal Audio’s proprietary smoothing algorithm, all param-
eters can be adjusted with automation or in real-time without distortion, pops,
clicks, or zipper noise.
DreamVerb provides two graphic menus for selecting preset room shapes.
The shapes can be blended according to the demands of your mix. Room ma-
terials are selected with two graphic menus containing preset Materials. A
third menu specifies the air density for further spectral control. As with the
room shapes, the materials and air can be blended as desired.
DreamVerb also includes intuitive graphic control over equalization, timing
and diffusion patterns. To maximize the impact of your recording, we put in-
dependent control over the direct path, early reflections, and late-field rever-
beration in your hands.
Capitalizing on the psychoacoustic technology that went into the design of
RealVerb Pro, we have incorporated some of these principles into Dream-
Verb. Our proprietary Stereo Soundfield Panning allows you to spread and
control the signal between stereo speakers creating an impression of center
and width. The ability to envelop your listener in a stereo recording is an en-
tirely new approach to reverb design.
