194dB Audio is giving away Distance Simulator, a distance modeling plugin that recreates how far away a sound source feels using a single main knob, free for a limited time.
In this article we cover the giveaway details and walk through what Distance Simulator actually does.
1. What Is 194dB Audio Distance Simulator?
Distance Simulator is a plugin that recreates the sense of distance of a sound source with a single main knob. High-frequency air, the tonal balance characteristic of a far-away source, and the way the image gathers toward the center all shift together, producing the realism of a sound that really is playing at a distance — something you cannot get by simply turning the volume down. Reflections adds restrained returns and scattering off nearby walls, evoking buildings, corridors and the general atmosphere of a city street. It lets you give a dry, isolated source an outdoor sense of spread and natural depth.
Key Features
- Dial in the sense of distance with a single main control knob
- High-frequency air, far-field tonal balance and stereo focus all change together
- Reflections: adds wall reflections and scattering for a street-like ambience
