Mutant Reverb: Ducked Stereo Reverb Plugin by W. A. Production Free Download

Reverb can add warmth and a sense of space, but a long tail can blur the original sound. Mutant Reverb includes an internal ducker that works similarly to a standard compressor. Threshold sets the level at which the ducking starts, and Ratio controls how much gain reduction is applied.

Attack, Hold and Release shape the timing of the effect. Attack lets the ducker ignore transients in the original signal, Hold stabilises the gain reduction, and Release sets the fade-out time. The Mix dial sets the wet level, so the balance between the dry signal and the ducked reverb can be adjusted precisely.

A mute button for the source signal lets you audition the ducked reverb on its own, or use the plugin on an effects send.

Time sets the tail length, and Size sets the simulated room. Pre-delay, diffusion and dampening are available as additional controls to shape how the space sounds. The High and Low pass filter nodes limit the frequency range of the reverb output, which can reduce high and low-end clutter.

The waveform display at the top of the interface shows the dry signal and the wet reverb in two colours, so the reverb tails and ducking can be seen as they happen. A click-free bypass helps with A/B comparison, and the interface can be resized. Factory presets cover plate and room emulations as well as special effects, and you can save your own settings as user presets.
