03In depth

Recorded Spaces and Reverb Character

Spaces II is built on a library of more than 1,020 reverbs recorded around the world. Because the sound comes from real rooms, the character depends on the space you choose, from the long tails of a cathedral to the tighter reflections of a recording studio or the hard, industrial sound of a train station.

EastWest Sounds says the library includes every reverb from the original Spaces, so the 353 new presets add to an existing collection rather than replacing it. Producers working on film, game or orchestral music can find large architectural spaces, while those working on contemporary productions can find more intimate rooms and plates.

Workflow and Interface

The developer describes a streamlined user interface designed to make it quick to move between reverbs. The aim is to reduce the delay between finding a suitable space and finalizing its settings, which matters when you are auditioning many options for a single sound.

Spaces II works as an insert or send effect in any host that supports the VST2, AU or AAX format, making it usable across most common digital audio workstations on both platforms.
