Spacelab Interstellar: 3D Audio Reverb and Object Panner Plugin

Spacelab Interstellar uses a reverb engine developed with Fraunhofer IIS. The developer says it simulates rooms from small boxes to large venues. Each object gets its own early reflection pattern based on its position, and these patterns change as the object moves through space.

Reverb time can be adjusted separately on nine frequency bands, and the Spatial EQ lets you sculpt the spectrum and spatial character of the reverb tail. Parameters are accessible quickly, so you can shape a sound without digging through menus.

The object-based 3D panner places each source around a listener in the virtual room. You can record movement with the mouse as automation and check the arrangement in a 3D view. The listener supports six degrees of freedom, which the developer positions for film and VR/AR work.

The rendering section handles up to 256 inputs and outputs, with arbitrary speaker layouts of up to 256 speakers. A full-sphere binauralizer supports headphone monitoring. Classic send/return and object mode are both available. Snapshots switch between reverb settings across a session, and the Spacelab Beam plugin sends audio from anywhere in the DAW into Spacelab.
