Immersive audio revolution
As the demand for immersive audio solutions continues to grow, this spatial audio software stands at the forefront of this audio revolution. Simulating distance is crucial in creating authentic 3D spaces, and dearVR PRO 2's distance simulation enables you to place sound seamlessly, even behind speakers. Say goodbye to flat and static audio experiences, as this tool unlocks natural depth perception for multi-channel formats.
The dearVR CORE engine by Dear Reality ensures best-in-class externalization and true-to-life immersion. With accurate perception of direction, distance, reflections, and reverb, you can create spatial audio productions that are incredibly detailed. Whether you're working on music, post-production, or XR production, dearVR PRO 2 will add depth and realism to your projects.
The perfect tool for all spatial audio formats
The output section of dearVR PRO 2 boasts an impressive range of 35 multi-channel loudspeaker formats, including the latest 9.0.4, 9.1.4, and 9.0.6 Pro Tools® DAW formats. For advanced XR productions, this all-in-one spatializer offers Ambisonics (up to third order) and binaural outputs. Regardless of the spatial audio format you're working with, dearVR PRO 2 has got you covered.
Direct access and total control
DearVR PRO 2 follows an easy-to-use approach, prioritizing your focus on the audio. With a graphical XYZ-pad in 360 degree, you have direct access to the audio's position. Placing audio sources anywhere in the immersive soundstage surrounding the listener has never been easier. Whether you want to position audio behind or in front, above or below, to the left or right, closer or farther away, dearVR PRO 2 gives you the power to do so.
Position and alter stereo tracks with ease
Not only can you position mono sources, but DearVR PRO 2 also enables you to position stereo tracks effortlessly. The width knob allows you to alter the stereo image, making this plugin a perfect bed-spatializer for advanced stem productions. Expand your creative possibilities and immerse your listeners in a captivating soundstage.
Vivid virtual acoustic environments
Experience true-to-life early reflections and choose from 46 virtual acoustic presets offered by dearVR PRO 2. From the intimate ambiance of a small car to the grandeur of a large church, these presets are ideal for professional music and post-production needs. Enhance your audio production with accurate direction, distance, reflections, and reverb. Additionally, the filter modules included in dearVR PRO 2 reduce unwanted rumbling or harsh frequencies, ensuring a polished and precise sound.
Real-time auralization
Early reflections play a crucial role in providing listeners with information about where a sound is coming from. With dearVR PRO 2's Real-Time Auralization feature, the timing and directionality of early reflections dynamically adjust as you alter the acoustic characteristics of the virtual environment or pan a sound around in space. This feature adds another layer of realism to your spatial audio productions.
Patented clarity feature by Sennheiser AMBEO
The Clarity algorithm in dearVR PRO 2 allows you to minimize colorations resulting from binaural rendering. You can adjust the balance between externalized spatial perception and overall tonal preservation, benefiting musical instruments and human voices. Achieve an optimal audio experience that translates seamlessly to regular stereo loudspeakers.
Head tracking with Spatial Connect Adapter
For an enhanced immersive experience, dearVR PRO 2 can be connected to any third-party OSC head tracker with the included SPATIAL CONNECT ADAPTER application. This connection provides extended head tracking control and a more natural way to evaluate immersive productions. Feel even more immersed in your audio projects.
Improved for PRO 2
In addition to its already impressive features, dearVR PRO 2 offers a resizable user interface, updated colors, and a streamlined layout. Performance improvements, such as reduced CPU usage, ensure smooth and efficient workflow. Rest assured knowing you have the latest Dear Reality license manager for seamless integration into your production setup.
