A convolution reverb for audio post that provides realistic room acoustics from 60 sampled spaces, with surround support, zipper-free automatable motion, and AAX DSP compatibility.
Purpose and design
Indoor is a convolution reverb tailored for audio post production, offering a broad palette of domestic and vehicle acoustics. It captures 60 rooms, including houses, hallways, and kitchens, from various angles, with over 1000 impulse responses recorded at a consistent quality. The interface is a single resizable window without tabs, allowing direct placement of speakers and microphones in any room and even opening or closing doors.
The reverb engine is designed to switch impulse responses instantly without clicks or zipper noise, eliminating the need for pre-roll or multiple instances. This reduces CPU load and simplifies workflow, making it easy to audition different acoustics quickly. The emphasis is on realism and flexibility, from subtle ambience to exaggerated effects.
Key capabilities
Indoor supports up to nine channels of reverb, including standard surround formats up to 7.0 and Dolby Atmos with additional ceiling channels. It offers two main microphone systems—Baffled Omni-directionals (AB) and Mid-Side (MS)—which can be switched or combined. The microphone system can rotate seamlessly, enabling zipper-free motion in surround tracks, which is useful for dynamic scenes.
An Input Pan Following feature allows the reverb to tighten around a moving source when inserted as a 7.0-to-7.0 effect on a bus. This follows the panning of incoming audio without artifacts. The AAX DSP version reduces latency and CPU usage, supporting up to 48 kHz and multiple channel configurations, though it limits the maximum number of channels.
Workflow and operation
In a typical post session, you can load Indoor on a track or bus, choose a room from the preset list, and instantly hear the result. The lack of tabs means all controls are visible, and presets speed up operation. You can place the virtual microphone in different positions or rotate it to create movement that follows the action on screen.
For immersive mixes, combine AB and MS to create a 7.0 DTS mix, or add ceiling channels for Atmos. The switchable microphone systems let you match the spatial character to the source. With AAX DSP, you can run multiple instances on a chip for larger mixes, but the standard native version offers high channel counts with lower latency than many reverb plugins.
Practical applications
Indoor is ideal for dialogue, foley, and sound design in film and TV post. You can place a conversation in a room, open a door to reveal a hallway, or move the reverb as a character walks through a house. The vehicle acoustics add realism for car scenes. For music, it can add space to instruments or create special effects.
The instant switching allows you to automate reverb changes in real time, making it suitable for complex scenes with rapid location changes. The surround capabilities support immersive formats, and the DSP version helps keep the mix CPU-friendly. It is a versatile tool for any editor who needs convincing room acoustics without complex setup.
