Masters of Ambisonic immersive audio Noise Makers have released a new Third Order Ambisonics Reverb plug-in for Pro Tools 12.8.2 and above.
Ambi Verb HD is the up until now missing part of the Ambisonics suite of Noise Makers plug-ins, which include Ambi Pan HD and Ambi Limiter HD, for mixing and processing in Third Order Ambisonics, Ambi Head HD for monitoring in binaural and Ambi Converter, for converting between Ambeo formats.
The Ambi Suite AAX plug-ins are specifically designed to work within the Pro Tools Third-Order Ambisonics workflow and take full advantage of the Third Order Ambisonics integration since Pro Tools 12.8.2.
Specialist Ambisonic Tools
When mixing immersive audio, it's important that all the tools you are using talk the same "language". When converting between discrete immersive audio formats such as 7.1.2 and Third-Order Ambisonics, you always have to consider compatibility and translation issues. It's far better to work with something specifically designed for the format you're working in. This is why upmixer developers like Nugen have released Ambeo versions of their Halo plug-in and indeed why the Facebook 360 suite now comes as standard with Pro Tools Ultimate. Well-crafted Ambisonic sound is the key to fully unlocking the potential of VR and immersive gaming.
Noise Makers took Ambeo Impulse Responses of 30 different locations, to simulate small and large halls, churches, music venues, stairs, bedrooms, exteriors, living rooms, cars and studios, recorded using an AMBEO VR Mic. There is also the option to load your own, in mono or ambiX (FOA) formats. This is presented within a traditional style IR reverb interface, with all the control you would have over a discrete IR reverb in terms of Wet/Dry, Decay, Spread and Pre-Delay.
