What Aurora Is For
Aurora is a reverb plugin designed to add space, depth, and a "3D" dimension to your tracks while maintaining a clean mix. It is especially suited for productions where reverb can quickly mask attack and intelligibility (lead vocals, guitars, synths, pianos, drums), allowing you to achieve a clearer result without multiplying equalizers, duckers, or complex effect chains.
Whether you're looking for a subtle ambience to add air, a room to tighten up drums, or wide and immersive washes for transitions and sound design, Aurora makes adjustment easy and ensures mix clarity, even with more generous reverbs.
Main Features
Adaptive Unmasking: a reverb that makes room for the signal
The core of Aurora is its Unmasking module: the plugin dynamically reacts to the audio content to sculpt the reverb and avoid the "cloud" effect that covers the source. The result: vocals remain present, instruments keep their definition, and the reverb settles around the track instead of swallowing it. This is ideal for achieving a professional sound quickly, even with dense arrangements.
High-end Reverb Algorithms
Powered by reverb algorithms from Exponential Audio expertise, Aurora focuses equally on transparency and musicality. You have 6 reverb types to tailor the texture to your style: precise rooms for punch, wide ambiences for immersion, realistic plates for presence, and more creative options to expand your sonic palette.
Quick Control, Finely Tuned Settings
Aurora offers immediate hands-on control to adjust reverb amount and integrate it into the mix effortlessly. Notably, adjust the Pre-Delay and Decay to preserve attack and groove, work on the width to manage stereo spread, and refine the tone to place the reverb "behind" the source without making it harsh or dull.
60+ Presets to Speed Up Workflow
With over 60 professional presets, Aurora lets you quickly find a relevant starting point: tight drum rooms for livelier drums, expansive ambience for pads and intros, plates for more present vocals and leads, as well as more textured signatures for effects and transitions. You save time while retaining the ability to finely customize every setting.

How does Adaptive Unmasking preserve the voice in the mix?
The Adaptive Unmasking module applies dynamic processing that sculpts the reverb according to the audio content. This allows the reverb to leave more space around voices and instruments, especially in dense arrangements.
How many types of reverb and presets are included?
Six types of reverb derived from Exponential Audio algorithms are offered, including rooms, ambiences, and plates. More than 60 professional presets provide starting points for drums, vocals, pads, or transitions.
