Air | Educational Version: Distance and Air-Absorption Effect Plugin by Sound Particles

Air is designed to do more than apply a generic low-pass filter. Sound Particles says the plugin uses scientifically measured frequency response values for air dampening, so the high-frequency loss follows real atmospheric behavior.

A Distance Attenuation parameter controls how the volume drops over distance. You can also view the actual frequency response being applied to the sound, which makes it easier to see what the effect is doing to your signal.

Because the location presets include temperature and humidity, the result changes with the environment you choose, from very dry desert conditions to cold polar air.

Air includes presets for several locations, from Antarctica to Death Valley, and you can enter a custom location when none of them fit. Distance and speed can be shown in meters or feet and in km/h or mph, so you can work in the units you prefer.

Parameters can also be edited from control surfaces such as the AVID S6, which suits engineers who mix on hardware.
