MacMusic has been watching Rayverb since it was announced at NAMM. The standalone demo version became available February 17; now the full VST plugin version is shipping. Rayverb uses raytracing -- a process known for 3D graphical rendering -- to calculate the path of audio signal through a space. reverberation process. The software features settings for setting up this virtual space, by changing the location of the sound source, altering textures of the wall, or applying different acoustic settings, all in realtime.

Convolution-based plugins like AltiVerb, while they provide extremely realistic modeling of specific spaces by recording their impulse response, don't allow the kind of control that the virtual raytrace-modeled space allows. We're anxious to give RayVerb a try and see which method we prefer -- hit comments and let us know your experience! Prosoniq Rayverb has a suggested list of EUR257. clouvel and pesji also contributed to this report.
