112dB has just released Redline Reverb, a new reverb plug-in described as a "musical reverb based on a completely new and original concept that excels in both warmth and transparency at extremely low CPU usage". Its core algorithm is based on the Rev-6 and Space Master Reaktor ensembles by Martijn Zwartjes.

Redline Reverb is a fully algorithmic and true stereo reverb with possibilities far beyond the conventional - check out the 112 factory presets for a comprehensive showcase of what it can do. Unlike conventional algorithmic reverbs, Redline Reverb does not need separate plate, hall, and room algorithms. Instead it features a comprehensive yet intuitive parameter set that allows you to easily recreate any given reverb characteristic, leaving you free to create lush smooth vocal reverbs, convincing room simulations, almost infinite reverb tails, synth pad and delay effects, and everything in between.

Priced at $99, Redline Reverb is available now for Windows and Mac OS X in VST, AU and RTAS formats. 60-day fully functional demo versions are also available.

Voxengo has updated VariSaturator to v1.6.

VariSaturator is an audio effect plug-in designed to apply saturation effects over audio material. It can be used both to boost the loudness of the audio tracks without increasing their peak levels proportionally, and to apply subtle harmonic coloration that makes tracks sound more pronounced and polished.

Changes :

- Crossover filter steepness parameter added.
- "Radial" knob mode can be now disabled completely.
- "Off-Line Render" indication added.
- Global level metering parameters added.
- Routing change-related issue fixed.
- Knob read-outs now require a single click for keyboard entry.
- Occasional crashes in WaveLab and other hosts fixed.
- Host sample rate switch-related problem fixed.
- Mouse control issue fixed.
- Minor visual improvements implemented.

Recording School Online has released the Mixing for 3-D Stereo Depth video guide.

This four part, full-length video guide by RSO demonstrates some producers tricks and a full array of free and pay audio plug-ins essential for creating 3-D space. Also demonstrated and explained are techniques designed to help your mixes "jump" out of the speakers and sound not only "wider" but also more dimensional.

Demonstrated are several styles of music as well as acoustic and electric instrumentation.

"Mixing for 3-D Stereo Depth" is available now for download at an introductory price of $76 instead of $149.

The sE4400a is the latest in a lineage of mics started 6 years ago by SE Electronics with the sE2200a. Based on the same capsule tuning, but with a dual capsule to give multi polar pattern function, this mic is described as a "rarity… a true all-rounder".


It has 4 polar patterns, Cardioid, Hypercardioid, Figure of 8 and Omni. 2 bass cuts at 60Hz and 120Hz; 2 pads at 10 and 20dB. The chassis is small… very small, but still manages to house a twin diaphragm 1" capsule and all the top grade electronics and switches. This flat, round edged chassis design allow the mic to be used flat onto a drumhead or guitar cab, or pushed through into the skin of a kick drum. It is also perfect for sung vocals and voice over work, because although it's the smallest mic of it's type, it still 'looks' big when used full face on.

The sE4400a is available now at an estimated price of €500.
