Audified has announced the release of Linda IronVerb, a classic algorithmic reverb plugin designed and created by mixing and mastering engineer Martin Linda (Linda Audio). IronVerb delivers extensive controls and a unique feature called Ironize modulation which adds a smooth, glossy sound to reverb tails. From subtle, short reverb to huge atmospheric, ethereal, and ambient textures with long decay, this plugin has a wide variety of uses for reviving familiar reverb sounds. Here's more details from their press release…
“Simply tweaking the IRONIZE knob from Clean to Full Iron allows anyone to free themselves from more traditional reverb sounds in favour of something that is much more unique sounding. Speaking of modulation — and equally simple and effective in implementation, MOD AMP controls the amount of applied chorus/vibrato effect to the reverb sound, while MOD SPEED controls the speed of the applied modulation. Musically speaking, adding modulation to the reverb sound can quickly add some ‘synthy’ vibe to prevent the resulting reverb from sounding sterile and stale.”
The press release goes on to highlight IronVerb’s ease of use…
“Intuitive in the way that it is laid out, Linda IronVerb sounds musical while gently coaxing creativity. It features six different modes with original algorithms for various reverb colours and vibe, including FLUTTER, with periodic warbling effect; PLATE, based on classic vintage plates used in recording studios; SLAPBACK, with a slower attack resulting in a slapback echo-like sound; DENSE, with its narrow space and high density resulting in a sharp sound; STEEL, simulating a steel barrel; and STEEL 2, bringing a different vibe to the STEEL barrel sound with a slower attack.
Additional creative control comes courtesy of PREDELAY, which allows for delaying the time before first reflections start to occur; SIZE, which allows for shaping — Small to Big — how the reverb sounds; and FEEDBACK, for controlling the amount and time of reflections from Short, echo-like reflections to Long decay tails — acting as a decay control, in other words; while WIDTH allows for expanding the sound image from Mono to full Stereo, and everything in between.
There are a few more carefully chosen controls for creatively crafting reverb sounds still further: DAMP AMT simulates the amount of absorption of higher frequencies by reflective surfaces and allows for darkening or brightening of the reverb tails; DAMP FREQ provides a frequency choice from 0.1 to 15 kHz to tailor the perfect sound of the reverb; RESO sets the resonance/mid-frequency shaping of the damping filter — when more RESO is applied, more gain is added to the band just below the damping frequency and less gain is applied to the rest of the spectrum; and HI-PASS, a filter control ranging from 20 to 1000 Hz to prevent rumble and energy build-up at the bass end of the frequency spectrum, which could cause issues with other instruments. It is also worth noting MIX, with Wet and Dry controls for blending the clean signal and reverb effect.”
Available in AAX, AU, and VST3 formats for Windows 7+ (32 & 64-bit) and macOS 10.11+ (64-bit). Linda IronVerb is available to purchase for an introductory price of $49.00 USD for two weeks — rising thereafter to its regular price of $99.00 USD. Try it for free today!
