01Overview

Rum is a reverb built around room simulation rather than large algorithmic spaces. Its ten multi-recorded rooms cover settings ranging from acoustically treated studio booths to spaces found in a regular home, and each room offers six variants with different microphone settings and characters that can be cross-combined. The plugin is aimed at producers who want a dry source to sound like it was recorded in a real space, a technique often used with acoustic instruments.

  • Acoustic instrument recordings

Room Sound and Stereo Spread

Rum takes a recording approach to reverb. The developer describes the sound as the source being captured in stereo from the far side of the room, which can add life to a dry sound.

Three stereo spread algorithms and a modulation control sit after the room stage, giving you options to set the final width and movement of the effected signal.

A ducker compresses the wet signal, which helps tame transients in the reverb tail without the abrupt behavior of a static gain reduction.

Workflow: Filters, Pre-Delay and Ducking

The signal path runs from input gain and filtering, through room and microphone selection, to a tempo-synchronized pre-delay that simulates how far the source sits from the walls.

Low cut and high cut filters let you shape the reverb before or after the room stage, keeping low end and top end under control in dense mixes.

Factory presets are included as a starting point for the room and spread settings.
