Voxengo CRTIV Reverb 400pxVoxengo is happy to release CRTIV Reverb version 2.4, a stereo reverberation effect plug-in for professional music production applications, available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST, and VST3 plug-in formats, for macOS and Windows computers.

Version 2.4 update includes the following changes:

  • Added Apple Silicon native compatibility.
  • Enabled the "asynchronous drawing" window mode on macOS; may fix the user interface "lagging".
  • The plug-in is now titled "CRTIV Reverb" on the user interface, without the "2" version suffix.  DLL/component name unchanged.
  • Added AudioComponents interface to AudioUnit as the ".rsrc" interface may be deprecated in the future.

CRTIV Reverb is a stereo reverberation effect plug-in for professional music production applications.  This reverb plug-in provides a wide palette of reverb spaces while requiring only a minimal effort to obtain useful results.  The tails created by this reverb are very dense and produce a well-defined spatialization.  Since the reverb uses a kind of “true stereo” algorithm the panned sounds receive a good stereo field placement.  We believe CRTIV Reverb provides one of the lushest reverb tails available on the market.

The early reflections placement, pre-delay and levels are chosen automatically based on a pre-defined model that depends on the “Room Size” and “Ambience” parameters.  CRTIV Reverb is technically based on Feedback Delay Network building blocks using the Hadamard matrix, and uses self-modulation techniques.

CRTIV Reverb is great on any sound sources: vocals, synths, drums, mixes.  The only drawback is that this reverb is a relatively CPU-demanding effect (it takes 7.5% of a single core of i7-7700K processor, at 44100 sample rate), for comfortable use it requires a higher-end processor.

CRTIV Reverb features:

  • Easy-to-use design
  • “True stereo” processing
  • Preset manager
  • Undo/redo history
  • A/B comparisons
  • Contextual hint messages
  • All sample rates support
  • Zero processing latency
  • Resizable user interface
  • Retina and HighDPI support

CRTIV Reverb is available for purchase for US$ 49.95.  Demo version of CRTIV Reverb can be downloaded freely at the Voxengo web site: https://www.voxengo.com/product/crtivreverb/?eref=ml
