Inspired Acoustics Inspirata Personal Edition Reverb Workstation Software (Upgrade From Lite Edition, Download)

The INSPIRATA Personal Edition Reverb Workstation Software (Upgrade from Lite Edition) from Inspired Acoustics is powerful measurement-based reverberation software that provides unprecedented flexibility in sampled reverbs. This version of the INSPIRATA series supports stereo configurations (no surround matrix) and allows the user to finetune many parameters. Use a maximum of two sound sources, and set the position of the listener in the selected virtual space.

Vast Content Library for Music and Postproduction

From the pristine sounds of historic spaces and the lush reverberant environments of medieval cathedrals to legendary music clubs, INSPIRATA comes with a growing library of real-space content. Many are available for the first time in history, and many of them have never been experienced in such detail.

Limitless Positioning, Smooth Movement

Moving virtual sound sources onstage or adjusting the listener position using a sample-based reverb processor was not possible without limitations until now. In a musical context, now you can move your sound sources and listener to find the optimum recording and mixing locations. Move an instrument slightly backwards onstage for a better balance, or move it closer for more clarity.In postproduction you can use INSPIRATA to automate the movement of your sound sources in every space, from close to far, left to right, as well as any of the acoustical parameters. The sound will instantly follow and sound, the same as if you were in the space only without the environmental noise. This unprecedented feature makes INSPIRATA a true workstation for spatial sound.

Revolutionary Spatial Controls

INSPIRATA makes it possible for you to control parameters that really matter to your ears, you can directly adjust acoustics and the sound of the space instead of adjusting indirect properties that make no difference to the sound. Gone is the time when you needed to bother with hall size, wall diffusion, or decorrelation only to get different results in each space. You now have full and independent control of how wide your sound source is in the space, how much of the blended sound reaches you, and how much it envelopes around your ears. Spatial room acoustical parameters such as apparent source sound width (ASW) and listener envelopment (LEV) are controllable for the first time directly in any reverberation solution. In addition to these revolutionary controls, you can also adjust the orientation of your speaker feeds in space, facing your stereo or surround setup in any direction. And you can change and automate all of these in real time.

Direct Control of Sound Clarity

In INSPIRATA, reverberation time and sound clarity are adjustable independently, in each space, using a single dedicated control for each. Despite these parameters not being totally independent, INSPIRATA pushes the limits and optimizes the reflections one by one to match the desired settings. The basis of the method of changing sound clarity (C80) has been published in an award-winning research paper by the IA team; and for the first time, it is now available in a real-time implementation.

Reverberation Time Controls

Reverberation time, the mother of all acoustic parameters, is an important aspect of how long the decay lasts. But there is no single reverberation time in a hall, and no single number at a given frequency. In natural spaces, the reverberation time varies slightly location by location—this is fully preserved in INSPIRATA. Not only is the variation reproduced accurately, but also the nonexponential nature of the decay of natural spaces is preserved in a dynamic range fully covering the theoretical possibilities of sound reproduction.In real spaces, there is not only a spatial but also a frequency dependency of the reverberation time. Deep tones usually reverberate for a longer time, while higher-pitched sounds fade away promptly—for example, due to the absorption of the sound of the air in large volumes. The frequency-dependent nature of the reverberation time directly affects the overall tonal footprint of your sound. By using intuitive controls for setting the reverberation time in a frequency-dependent nature or by tilting the controls to be more bass or treble heavy, you can finetune how the space matches your mix with just a few clicks, and achieve a level of warmth or brightness otherwise unimaginable.

Professional Edition with Surround Support up to 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos

INSPIRATA supports multichannel audio by design. With INSPIRATA, you can upmix your mono sound source to a wide variety of 3D-surround options up to 7.1.2. Dolby Atmos. The upmixing is done by the natural acoustic space itself. You can apply reverberation to surround audio or multichannel audio for instruments or instrument groups, and deliver in any surround format that you desire with just a few single clicks. This version of the software supports sample rates up to 96 kHz.

Compatibility

INSPIRATA supports all major DAWs in AAX, VST3, and AU formats.
