Videos

• Symphony Overview (03:44) - Get the big picture of how this plug-in is laid out and where to access all the relevant controls.

• Working with Presets (08:34) - Learn how to search the presets using boolean operators, store your own variations, add custom keywords, import, export, and more.

• Meters, Tempo, & Freeze (04:27) - Explore how the metering and tempo sync options work, learn about the processing threshold control, and hear how the Freeze function is used to create interesting sustained tail effects.

• Input, Early Reflections, & Tail Master Controls (07:19) - Discover how the input, early reflections, and tail components of the signal are balanced, filtered, and modulated.

• Basic Controls (02:51) - These controls are front and center and always visible, for easy access to basic macro type controls to shape the overall sound of the plug-in.

• Early Reflections (05:59) - Early reflections refers to the portion of the reverb that is reflected off the surfaces in the listening space once or twice immediately after the direct sound, before they blur into the longer reverb tail. See how we control the dispersion, attack, filtering, density, and other early reflection properties in Symphony.

• Reverb Tail (07:07) - Explore how the various parameters on the Reverb Tail page are used to shape both the frequency response, and the contour of the tail component of the reverb signal.

• Reverb Attack (06:02) - Hear how the parameters on this page influence the onset of the reverb tail.

• Gate Parameters (04:13) - Explore how these controls are used to control the reverb levels by the characteristics of the input signal.

• Chorus (06:29) - Discover how the tail is modulated with either a pitch based chorus or a thickening effect; and how the density and EQ are modulated separately.

• Warp (06:33) - Hear how the parameters in this section are used to add compression and drive to the reverb tail.

• Multi Channel Audio Pt. 1 (04:37) - Learn about working with the 3D version of Symphony, and see how to set up the top front and top rear channels in Pro Tools, available in the 7.1.6 format.

• Multi Channel Audio Pt. 2 (04:03) - Explore the Early Reflection, Tail, and Balance controls pertaining to multi channel and 3D reverb.

• Creating a Drum Room (08:22) - Follow along as the features in Symphony are put to work to design a small warm subtle drum chamber ambiance.
