Overview

AOS Reverb is a six-mode algorithmic reverb designed around control rather than presets you can't fix. Size, decay, predelay, and damping shape the space, tilt filters keep the tail out of the way of the source, and ducking pulls the reverb back while the dry signal plays so mixes stay readable.

How to use

  • Set predelay first — it separates the source from the tail before anything else.
  • Use the high-cut to darken the tail instead of turning the mix down.
  • Send-based reverb on a bus beats an instance per track for CPU and cohesion.
  • Turn on ducking on vocals so the tail blooms between phrases, not under them.
