Space Replicator Upgrade from Essential: Virtual Acoustic Spaces for Headphones

The plugin offers a range of virtual rooms, including professional mixing and mastering rooms with high-end speaker systems, a studio with nearfield speakers, and rooms modeled on midfield and farfield monitors. LEWITT says the spaces are captured and rendered at extremely high resolution through a personalized binaural profile that you build inside the plugin using an algorithm-based training process.

The goal is a natural stereo field and a more reliable picture of how a mix will sound in a room, without buying acoustic treatment.

Beyond studio rooms, the plugin includes playback spaces meant for mix translation checks, such as a club PA and DJ booth, a car stereo, a kitchen with tablet or Bluetooth speakers, a living room with different smartphone and laptop models, and a TV room with a TV speaker or soundbar.

For headphones, you can load compensation profiles for more than 600 models so you can use the headphones you already own. A "Transparent" profile applies an ideal frequency response for mixing, based on LEWITT's description of an expert listening study, and five consumer in-ear and over-ear simulations let you hear how a mix may sound on popular headphones.
