03In depth

Doppler Effect Processing for Moving Sounds

The plugin applies pitch shift, volume change and distance-based EQ in one tool, so a passing vehicle or flyby can be shaped without stacking separate processors.

You can choose a peak time for the Doppler, and the other parameters adjust to sync the effect with picture. This makes it practical for matching a sound to an on-screen movement.

The developer describes the output as natural sounding because the frequency response follows the air dampening a sound would experience over distance.

Immersive and Multichannel Microphone Options

Doppler offers microphone patterns from mono to stereo, plus 5.1, 7.1, 9.1 Dolby Atmos bed and Ambisonics up to third order. This lets the same effect be used across different delivery formats.

Metric and imperial units are both supported for distance and speed, so settings can follow the workflow of the project.

Control Surface Support

Doppler can be controlled from hardware control surfaces such as the AVID S6, letting you edit plugin parameters by hand instead of with the mouse. This suits post-production sessions that already use a control surface.
