Liquidsonics, the company behind Seventh Heaven and Lustrous Plates reverb plug-ins have announced their latest reverb Cinematic Rooms, offering exquisite sounds, powerful tools and full Atmos compatibility.
Cinematic Rooms is a reverb dedicated to the intense acoustic demands of surround room simulation. The advanced surround workflow tools allow you to design acoustic spaces with simplicity. Available in two editions, both support channel formats from stereo up to 7.1.6 for use with the latest Atmos bed workflows.
LiquidSonics has been working with industry-leading audio professionals, including Alan Meyerson, Steve Genewick, Scott Michael Smith, and many more to ensure that Cinematic Rooms has the sound and features needed for the challenges of modern mixing environments.

Cinematic Rooms comes in two editions - Professional and Standard.
Professional Edition
For the most demanding score mixing and post-production workflows, the Professional edition has been designed to be the ultimate room simulator combining the latest in modulated constant-density reverb technology with an interface tailored to the demands of modern surround production.
Surround Editing Planes
Cinematic Rooms Professional provides you with the tools you need to able to precisely control the reverb within the surround field. Optionally deviate parameters in the front, rear, side, centre or elevated planes relative to the master preset, for example:
Extend and filter the reverb tail in the sides and rears
Emphasise and widen reflections in the front and side channels
Apply a tempo-synced pre-delay and echo in the rears and elevations
As all surround plane deviations track the master controls any changes to the master preset immediately propagate throughout the space, and are clearly visible by the surround editing indicators beneath every parameter.
Superior Pan Tracking
Advanced control of crossfeed allows you to accentuate or suppress the amount and character of reverb propagation into the surround space.
Unlike other surround reverbs that typically create a homogeneous wash of equal magnitude in all channels, Cinematic Rooms' crossfeed controls allow you glue the reverb to the source of the action whilst tracking panning very naturally with additional filtering, level and delay control.
In addition, the reverb outputs from Cinematic rooms are fully de-correlated which means there is no phasing or other issues when the Dolby Atmos mix is folded down. We understand that you can have multiple reverbs and there will be no comb filtering.
Standard Edition
Refined, simplified, but never acoustically compromised - the standard edition is ideal for rapid workflows, lower budgets and simpler music mixing projects from stereo up to 7.1.6 bed.
Sharing the same reverb and reflection engines as the professional edition, the standard edition of Cinematic Rooms creates a convincing, pure ambience around your sources by simulating sophisticated early auditory cues for a wide range of realistic environments.
Getting Started With Cinematic Rooms
Our own Mike Thornton was asked by Liquidsonics to produce a brief video guide to help you to get started with Cinematic Rooms.
As Mike explains in this video, the way small rooms are created in Cinematic Rooms, means that you don’t end with comb filtering as you reduce the size of the room, which normally results in the early reflections bunching up on top of each other and producing comb filtering. Not in Cinematic Rooms, you get crystal clear small rooms.
