Dear Reality dearVR PRO

Dear Reality’s state-of-the-art algorithms have been a mainstay of 3D audio production for years. Now, their spatial processing treasure chest is available in an all-in-one plugin for your DAW: the fully featured dearVR PRO and it’s smaller counterpart dearVR MUSIC which is aimed at more traditional mixing workflows.

Say goodbye to expensive middleware, unwieldy software bundles and complex routing schemes. All the tools you need to create immersive spatial audio for music, videos, film post-production are included in dearVR’s powerful yet fast and intuitive interface. Simply drag your mouse around using the plugin’s graphical XYZ pad to position a track’s sound anywhere in a 3D soundstage — behind or in front of the listener, above or below their head, to the left or right, closer or farther away. Or use separate sliders for adjusting the sound’s elevation, azimuth and distance from the listener.

dearVR PRO provides 46 vivid virtual acoustic environments, featuring true to life 3D imaging and gorgeous sounding environments to place your sounds and then move them around in real time. Among the many selections to choose from are concert halls, car interiors, different types of rooms, a church, cellar, staircase, bathroom, booth, warehouse, arena, outdoor street and live stage. Each environment is instantly and independently recallable per plugin instance, letting you place each object’s sound in a different space.

The patented Clarity algorithms allow to minimize colorations caused by binaural rendering and to individually adjust an optimal balance between the externalized spatial perception and the overall tonal preservation. This can be especially useful for musical instruments and the human voice and is also paving the way for a barrier-free transfer from binaural to regular stereo loudspeakers.

dearVR PRO outputs the highest-quality 3D binaural and multi-channel spatial audio in over 30+ formats, ranging from standard two channel stereo, binaural, ambisonics and all the way up to 9.1.6. Dolby Atmos formats. With Dear Reality’s dearVR PRO you will easily meet all of the professional requirements for any spatial audio production.

Please note: dearVR PRO is enabled to be controlled by the dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT software to mix within VR and conduct each dearVR PRO track's position, level and room preset by hand-gestures.

  I can count on one hand the number of VR and Ambisonic plugins that I actually want to use, and that list got smaller because dearVR just replaced three of them. It’s completely brilliant,… Read More
