One knob swaps out the compressor, the EQ scoop, and the automation ride. FRCTL Audio put out AURA, an algorithmic reverb whose CLARITY control ducks by perceived loudness and carves the tail one band at a time where the source sits.
No threshold, no routing. ABSORB and SWELL mess with ring time instead of volume, tightening the room during busy passages and letting it breathe as things thin. TUNE dodges the harmonics of whatever note is sounding, and DELTA solos only what got stripped.
Eight delay lines form the network underneath, morphing across Room, Plate, Hall, Chamber, Bloom, Shimmer, and Space. Decay reads as true RT60 from 0.1 to 60 seconds, independent of size, and tempo sync covers predelay as well.
Version 1.0.0 also brings 71 presets, two tail EQs, a gate with reverse voicing, a sidechain key, and a live spectrum readout.
AURA Lite stays free forever with four knobs rather than thirty-nine, same engine, Hall voicing. AURA runs $34.99, cut to $24.99 during the intro stretch, with a 14-day trial and no iLok. Both cover CLAP, AU, VST3, and a standalone on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
