03In depth

Reverb engines and adaptive unmasking

Equinox draws on the reverb engines from Exponential Audio's Stratus and Symphony, so you can place instruments or dialogue in a realistic space or push the sound into more creative territory.

It also uses iZotope's dynamic adaptive unmasking, taken from Aurora and Cascadia. The developer says this carves out room for the reverb so vocals and lead instruments stay upfront and the mix stays clear.

Presets, controls and workflow

The plugin includes over 1250 presets with a browser that supports multiple keyword searches and saving favorites. Advanced controls and macro tone settings let you refine the reverb character, and a global tilt EQ makes quick adjustments darker or brighter.

Creative functions such as Freeze, Chorus and Gate are included, along with tempo sync and tail suppression. The Balance tab handles adjustment and automation in surround formats. Stratus and Symphony presets can be imported in one click, and Pro Tools sessions can swap in Equinox for Stratus or Symphony instances.
