This plug-in is an easy to use distance “pan-pot” based on several psycho-acoustic models. The idea is to give mixing engineer a reliable tool which allows him to manipulate the “depth” of several sound source in a straight forward and convincing manner.

Several models can be combined:

• Distance signal delay by speed of sound
• Distance gain loss
• Absorption of high-frequencies in air
• Stereo width manipulation
• Proximity effect of virtual microphone
• Distance based early reflections

All models can be turned on and off to taste. Distance modulation options extend the creative possibilities even further. Units can be switched from metric (meters) to imperial (inches).

The plug-in is our candidate for the KVR Developer Challenge 2012, and is available in 32 and 64-bits versions for Windows and Mac OS X in VST and AU format. Note that during the time of the contest, download will only be possible via the KVR website.

Proximity is free.
