Description
Overview
Air Perpetual is a specialized distance simulation plugin designed to accurately recreate the sonic characteristics of sound traveling through the air. Unlike a standard low-pass filter, Air utilizes scientifically measured frequency response values of air dampening to simulate high-frequency attenuation, allowing users to place any sound source precisely within a three-dimensional space.
By calculating the impact of distance, temperature, and humidity, Air enables producers and engineers to move audio assets further away or bring them closer with professional accuracy, ensuring that sound effects, dialogue, and musical instruments sit naturally within a mix.
Key Details
- Scientific Distance Simulation: Uses precise frequency response data rather than simple filtering to mimic real-world air dampening.
- Environmental Presets: Includes built-in temperature and humidity settings from diverse global locations, ranging from the extreme cold of Antarctica to the intense heat of Death Valley.
- Custom Environment Control: Ability to enter custom environmental parameters for site-specific accuracy.
- Visual Feedback: Integrated frequency response display allows you to see exactly how the sound is being attenuated in real-time.
- Distance Attenuation: Dedicated parameter to control volume loss over distance, completing the illusion of depth.
- Flexible Measurement: Full integration with both Imperial (feet, mph) and Metric (meters, km/h) units to suit your preferred workflow.
- Hardware Integration: Supports control surfaces, such as the AVID S6, for streamlined parameter editing.
Use Cases
- Sound Design: Quickly transform “close-mic” sound effects into distant background elements without the need for re-recording.
- ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement): Match studio-recorded dialogue to the original set’s distance and environment, eliminating the “misplaced” sound common in ADR.
- Music Production: Create depth and separation in a mix by reducing the presence of specific instruments, allowing the lead elements to breathe.
- Cinematic Mixing: Accurately place audio assets within a scene to match visual distance and atmospheric conditions.
