Overview

SPATIO reverbs set a new standard of quality in the field of synthetic reverberation. Efficient and reliable reverbs, natural workhorses for your studio with a unique sound.

SPATIO Plate offers natural and dense vintage plate-style reverberation. Plate reverbs are characterized by a very rapid buildup of echo density followed by a smooth decay. SPATIO Plate allows you to create from highly granular to extremely diffuse reverberation.

SPATIO Plate is not intended to be the umpteenth clone of a legendary historical device, but it has been designed to provide you a flexible set of controls to tailor your own unique and distinctive sound in contemporary productions.

MORE DETAILS

In the past, portable reverberation units were a dream. It was impossible to add reverberation to a recording in a simple way. You had to use a proper reverberant room with loudspeakers and microphones inside to have some control on the reverberation during post-production.
One of the first “portable” devices was the EMT 140 plate reverb. Well, after all it wasn’t so portable. It weighted roughly 270 Kg, but it was definitely easier to transport than a room.
An electroacoustic plate reverb is made with large metal plates (that’s why this device is called “plate reverb”). The plate gets vibrated in accordance with a signal from a transducer and the vibration is sensed elsewhere on the plate with a pickup.
Nowadays, digital signal processing allows you to have this wonder packed into a much more portable audio plugin. SPATIO Plate realizes this wonder for you.

This freeware verb is frighteningly good! If nothing else, it’s absolutely worth the time for the free download. This little reverb sounds simply amazing…

Craig Anderton
EQ Magazine

I particularly like the plates – they’re nice and silky with voice, and aggressive with snares – but the halls are equally satisfying…This fine-sounding reverb is versatile enough that you’re bound to find something that works for you among the 47 presets. If not, a little tweaking will get you there

SPATIO Inverse plugin is absolutely the best one I used on vocals for this kind of effect.

Beautifully conceived, Anwida plug-ins never disappoint. Highly recommended!

SPATIO Room, to my ears, rules above all the other small room verbs…I’m now using this on pretty much everything. It adds just the right amount of presence to a sound without being obvious or overbearing. Whatever you did, it just works.

Jesse Jost
Cakewalk Product Manager

I really like this reverb. Especially unique among reverb plug-ins are elements like plates and gates, they sound wonderful. The DX Reverb is a model plug-in with a lot of substance rolled into an intuitive, compact UI. Great job!
