Sonic Academy just launched Vela, a fresh reverb plugin that creates everything from realistic rooms to vast atmospheric spaces. The company built it around new reverb technology instead of using standard techniques. Users can adjust early reflections completely through a custom system that gives them full control.
The plugin features a node-based engine for late reflections where musicians can shape density, decay time, and filter settings as sounds fade away. This helps create smooth reverb tails without artificial artifacts. Vela can mimic famous hardware units from Lexicon, Bricasti, and TC Electronic without needing impulse response samples.
These emulations serve as starting points that producers can modify to fit their needs. The design lets users craft ultra-realistic environments and creative sound effects within one tool. The interface allows for the adjustment of every aspect of the reverb character.
The company focused on making Vela work for multiple music styles and production tasks. Engineers can use it for standard mixing jobs or sound design projects that need unusual spaces. The plugin balances technical control with musical results for audio professionals.
