UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 76 - RealVerb Pro
The RealVerb Pro user interface is similarly organized (see Figure 19). Re-
flected energy equalization is controlled with the Resonance panel. The pat-
tern of early reflections (their relative timing and amplitudes) is determined by
the room shapes and sizes in the Shape panel; early reflection predelay and
overall energy is specified at the top of the Timing panel. The Material panel
is used to select relative late-field decay rates as a function of frequency. The
overall late field decay rate is chosen along with the room diffusion, late-field
predelay, and late-field level at the bottom of the Timing panel. Finally, the Po-
sitioning panel contains controls for the placement of the source, early reflec-
tions, and late-field reverberation.
Spectral Characteristics
The Shape and Material panels specify the room shape, room size, room ma-
terial and thickness. These room properties affect the spectral characteristics
of the room’s reflections.
Shape and Size The pattern of early reflections in a reverb is determined by the room shape
and size. RealVerb Pro lets you specify two room shapes and sizes that can
be blended to create a hybrid of early reflection patterns. There are 15 room
shapes available, including several plates, springs, and classic rooms; room
sizes can be adjusted from 1–99 meters. The two rooms can be blended from
0–100%. All parameters can be adjusted dynamically in real time without
causing distortion or other artifacts in the audio.
