Create shared acoustic spaces with Group Mode

One of the most exciting additions is Group Mode. With this feature, multiple instances of smart:reverb 2 can now communicate with each other in real time, allowing you to define and maintain a coherent acoustic space across 6 tracks or busses. Whether you’re working on a dense orchestral score or a spacious ambient mix, Group Mode ensures every element fits naturally—all from a single window. With the Distance Grid depth staging becomes as easy and intuitive as can be. You just have to place your tracks in the front or back to create the setup you imagine.

A reverb that listens and understands

smart:reverb was the first reverb plugin to generate a custom-tailored response based on the source audio. In version 2, this technology has been enhanced and expanded into a holistic content-aware engine. The result? A reverb that seamlessly integrates into your mix without cluttering or muddiness.

Intuitive controls for creative freedom

Say goodbye to parameters that mirror analog circuitry like Decay Time and Pre-Delay – you won’t find them in this innovative tool. smart:reverb 2 introduces perception-based controls—Distance, Size, Width, Color, and Clarity—that help you make artistic decisions in musical rather than technical terms. Shape your space the way you hear it, not the way a circuit diagram suggests.

More styles. More depth. More character.

The new Reverb Matrix gives you tactile control over the spatial character of your reverb. Blend freely between Room, Hall, Plate, and Spring types on a smooth 2D interface and craft a reverb tone that’s entirely your own.

Built for modern workflows

smart:reverb 2 adapts to the way you work. Its smart features constantly ensure clarity and cohesion in the background, so you can focus on creativity. Whether you’re sound designing, mixing music, or scoring to picture, smart:reverb 2 thinks alongside you.
