Dear Reality dearVR music v1.4.1 / v1.4.1 [WiN, MacOSX]

Most people probably listen to your mixes on earbuds and headphones. It's the perfect setup for blowing their minds with music in 3D—if only a plugin could do that.

Well, prepare to enter the third dimension! dearVR music breaks the shackles of stereo and planar surround sound to turn your DAW into a 3D virtual reality powerhouse. No advanced engineering chops are needed. Load dearVR music onto a track in your mix and choose one of 18 pristine virtual acoustic presets. Then simply drag your mouse around in the plugin's intuitive interface to position the track virtually behind or in front of the listener, above or below their head, to the left or right, closer or farther away—at any angle and distance in a 3D soundstage—for mind-blowing playback using conventional stereo headphones.

With dearVR music, you create a virtual, three-dimensional world in which your singers and musicians sit—or roam around in real time. Move each track inside any of 18 virtual acoustic environments—including a concert hall, church, stage, drum room and more. Your DAW's automation records your moves in real time. Each environment is instantly and independently recallable per plugin instance, letting you place each track in a different space. You can even change the shape and dimensions of each virtual space using controls that adjust its size, damping, and balance of early reflections and diffuse reverb.

dearVR music also outputs the highest quality 3D audio in 4-channel Ambisonics format, used in soundtracks for 360-degree YouTube videos. Watch your trendsetting 3D mixes go viral on social media, as you literally run circles around your competition. Don't need it to be 3D? dearVR music's beautiful virtual environments can also be used like conventional reverbs in stereo format, doubling their usefulness for music production. And mouse-dragging your track inside those beautiful spaces using the plugin's graphical XYZ pad is way faster, easier and simpler than setting up an aux, effects send, pan controls and wet/dry balance for a reverb plugin in your DAW.

Need more options and power? For pros working in virtual reality or augmented reality, Dear Reality's state-of-the-art dearVR pro plugin offers an extended control set, nearly four dozen virtual acoustic environments, virtual reflections that respond in real time to changing positioning, and many more output formats to choose from.

dearVR music is your streamlined entryway into immersive media audio production. Get out of your head.
