LucidVerb is a hybrid convolution reverb that models the physical DNA of spaces, offering flexible control and realistic immersion for music, film, and post-production.
Hybrid Design
LucidVerb merges algorithmic flexibility with convolution quality. Instead of capturing fixed impulse responses (IRs), it models a space using geometric and physical parameters—size, shape, and surface materials. This creates a “sonic DNA” that can be rendered into countless decorrelated IRs in real time, preserving natural character while allowing full control.
Unlike traditional convolution reverbs, you can adjust reverb length from 0.1 to 10 seconds without changing presets or tweaking other settings. This makes it simple to match different rooms or scenes while retaining sonic integrity, ideal for both subtle ambiences and dramatic spaces.
Creative Control
All reverbs are fully decorrelated, ensuring an immersive and wide spatial image. The reverb time range applies universally across all IRs, so you can quickly dial in the perfect decay without losing the original room’s character. This workflow is especially useful for film and game audio where different spaces need to feel distinct yet cohesive.
LucidVerb includes a library of over 400 impulse responses, covering outdoor and indoor environments. You can also modify and edit individual IRs to suit specific uses, giving you hands-on control over the acoustic signature. The dual reverb mode allows seamless real-time scene changes on a single instance, perfect for live or adaptive mixes.
Sound Design
This reverb excels at hyper-realistic recreation of real spaces, making it a valuable tool for sound designers and composers. Whether you need the echo of a cathedral or the openness of a canyon, LucidVerb can emulate any space by adjusting its physical parameters. The ability to sculpt the room’s DNA opens up creative possibilities beyond static convolution.
The plug-in supports up to 9.1 channels (7.1.2) within Pro Tools tracks and buses, and up to 7.1 in Audio Units hosts, making it suitable for immersive formats like Dolby Atmos. This allows you to place reverb across a full surround field, enhancing the sense of depth and movement in your mix.
Workflow
LucidVerb is designed to fit into existing studio workflows. It operates as a native plug-in in AAX2 and Audio Units formats, with full compatibility with recent Pro Tools versions. Inputs can be mono, stereo, or multichannel, giving you flexibility in how you route signals through the reverb.
The included rehearsal model with four sound files helps you test settings quickly without interrupting your creative flow. Because the reverb time can be changed on the fly, it’s easy to automate or perform live adjustments. This makes LucidVerb practical for both studio mixing and live sound, where quick changes are often necessary.
