Where to get itIncluded with Studio One. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.presonus.com

Open AIR is a convolution reverb plugin that delivers ultra-realistic reverberation based on impulse responses captured from real spaces and classic hardware reverbs. It supports mono, stereo, and multichannel impulse responses with independent early/late reflection control, and includes a 4-band EQ for tonal shaping.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

014-band EQ (Low Shelf, Low Mid, High Mid, High Shelf) with ±36 dB to +12 dB gain range
02ER/LR crossover point control (0–500 ms) to separate early and late reflections
03Pre-delay adjustment from -150 to 300 ms
04Cross-feed (0–100%) and Cross-delay (0–25 ms) for stereo processing
05Fade-in (0–2.0 s) and Fade-out (1 ms to impulse length) envelope controls
06Size parameter with time-stretch to extend reverb decay while preserving early reflections
07Mono, stereo, and multichannel impulse response support
08Image View for visual reference of impulse source

Things to Try

  • 01Engage Log Time view to see more detail in early reflections and set the ER/LR crossover point more precisely
  • 02Activate Shorten with Stretch to extend reverb length via time-stretching between the ER/LR breakpoint and impulse end while preserving early reflection character
  • 03Use Cross-Feed and Cross-Delay together to create stereo width; adjust Asymmetry to simulate an asymmetric microphone recording setup
  • 04Enable Fade-in and Fade-out envelope controls to smooth the impulse response onset and tail
