Low End Candy have recently released a new plug-in that offers a quick and simple way to create reverse reverb effects. Preverb comes with six onboard reverb models that can be used to create riser, transition and lead-in effects without needing to bounce tracks and manually reverse the resulting clips.

With the plug-in inserted on a track, users can select from a choice of six reverb characters: Hall, Room, Plate, Cathedral, Ambience and Spring. All of the controls you’d expect to see on a reverb are present — length, mix, tone, filtering and EQ options and so on — and are joined by Pitch and Formant parameters than can be used independently or linked together. Creating the reverse effect is as simple as hitting Capture and playing back the sound of choice, and it’ll appear in the GUI as a rendered WAV file that can be dragged straight onto a DAW’s audio track. 

“I’ve reversed reverb tails by hand on hundreds of records — bouncing, flipping and lining them back up before the drop. It works, but it kills your flow. I built Preverb so that whole ritual disappears.” — Beau McLeod (Bohemyth), Founder, Low End Candy

• Reverse Reverb: Builds a reverb that swells in toward your sound instead of trailing after it — the reverse-tail bloom, as an instant insert.
• Capture & Print: Arm Capture, play your sound, and the printed ‘preverb’ lands in a drop zone as a WAV file that can be dragged straight into a DAW. 
• Pitch & Formant: Shift the reverb's pitch and its formant/timbre independently — or link them for natural, ‘chipmunk-free’ transposition.
• Six Reverb Characters: Hall, Room, Plate, Cathedral, Ambience and Spring — each with its own swell envelope and tone.
• Presets & A/B: 24 factory presets across vocals, drums, bass, synth, risers, transitions and FX — plus save-your-own, A/B compare and one-click initialisation.
• Mac & Windows Support: Universal VST3 and AU on macOS, VST3 on Windows. One license unlocks every format on both platforms.

Preverb is supported on Windows and macOS systems (no minimum versions specified). VST3 and AU plug-in versions are available. Note that there is no AAX version, so Pro Tools is not supported. 

Preverb is available now, priced at $49.
