IZOTOPE Aurora

Product overview

iZotope Aurora is intelligent reverb for cleaner mixes: it reacts to your audio to easily and dynamically unmask instruments and vocals, creating lush, three-dimensional space that won't drown out your tracks.

Aurora is so much more than a state-of-the-art reverb engine. With the intuitive and powerful Unmasking section, you give your tracks pro-quality depth without the headache of muddy, cloudy mixes. Who says reverb has to be difficult? Avoid tedious routing, complex plug-in chains and muddy mixes with this do-it-all tool featuring world-class algorithms and intuitive controls.

Adaptive Unmasking dynamically reacts to incoming audio, carving space out of the reverb signal so your instruments and vocals stay focused and clear. Whether you are working with subtle ambience or lush effects, Aurora gives you instantly clean reverb.

Powered by legendary reverb algorithms, Aurora sounds vibrant and professional. Choose from six reverb types and easily fine-tune the reverb amount, Pre-Delay and Decay times, width, tone and more, or start from over 60 professional presets: tight drum rooms, expansive washes of ambience, realistic plates and creative sound palettes. Aurora is part of the iZotope Catalyst Series of purpose-built, easy-to-use plug-ins that quickly solve difficult mix problems.
