It is probably too soon to tell. I should not have spent the money on it, elements might have been a better choice for now. I got involved learning other aspects of Cubase so I really haven't had time to use it much.

Using our very own “Virtual Positioning Technology”, you can position your sounds anywhere in the legendary Lyndhurst Hall — one of the world’s most sought-out recording spaces.
Our Spitfire engineering team have curated a selection of 54 presets to suit different instruments based on real life mixing practises, and to create a selection of standard reverb modes and spaces. Adjust the canopy height, material, hall layout and gallery dampening, and blend up to 8 individual true stereo signals to create a hyper realistic sonic experience.

Absolutely fantastic reverb that really allows one to fine tune mic positions and levels. Damping, ceiling height and material is an awesome touch. My orchestrations sound LIVE! Really added depth and life to my DAW work!
This Reverb is truly amazing! the complete control that you are given for the entire Hall is outstanding, the quality if this Reverb is of the highest tear.
This is what I needed. Previous work in my DAW has always sounded flat, but adding the reverb brought it to life. I like the versatility of being able to position the mics and instruments, using a graphic interface rather than variable buttons.
Just... Brilliant! Excellent!! Amazing!!!
Again only Best And still Awesome 👍🎼🎶🎵🎶🎼Hello from Greenland Tasiilaq
Without any exaggeration, I say this plugin is a miracle. Don't even try to compare it to a reverb plugin. When I saw its effect on an orchestral work, I was amazed for the first few hours by the depth and softness it added to the work.
It is an elaborate reverb. Convolution function is used to simulate the actual reverb facility at the listening point, It is an exact simulation of an actual reverb facility. The splendor of the sound, upon first listen, is that the sound shimmers and breathes with sparkling brilliance, The sound image is transformed with transparent clarity. I can't think of any other word than "wonderful" right now.
It’s cooooooooooooooooool
Exactly what we needed - thank you.
Premium price, and premium sound if you manually spend the extra time to get there. This is twice the price point of a product like Berlin Studio Pro but is missing presets for simple things like "Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola" etc. Some brass instruments are setup, some Woodwinds etc - but if you want ease-of-use you're better off with a competing product. Manually having to set every single instrument location in the room and THEN go in and tweak their direction from the mic in another tab, because the plugin can't seem to calculate that is not ideal. Product feels unfinished from an actual usability standpoint. If you're willing to spend the time tweaking and using this for a template it works. Dropping it into an ongoing project... be prepared to spend more time on reverb than the music itself. Works fine as a final mix drag and drop reverb, but for $300 it needs to have these basic orchestral section presets.
Air Studio Reverb ist the Right thing for my work. Thanks to Spitfire Audio
great work
Just another reverb, right? No. Not in the slightest - the AIR Studios Reverb is the most awesome plug in I have in my collection. So many adjustments and ways to refine your sound that it blows all other reverb plug ins out of the water. You want a good acoustic guitar reverb... this is it. You want your vocals to sound ethereal and spacious... this is it. You want to visit the bar at AIR... nope, you need to be there for that! You certainly get what you pay for, and the AIR Studios Reverb is worth every last penny! My other reverb plug ins have been deleted - i'll never need them now!
Truely inspiring and adds depth to my scores, I love the reflection and the ambience it brings to my music - Mr Checkers, Keep up the excellent work it is "outstanding"....
Stop reading reviews to try and convince yourself whether or not to buy this plugin and just do it..!!! Seriously, it’s just awesome. Sounds absolutely stunning, delicious… Beautiful and user friendly UI as well.
i am a reverb fussyinado, and what I mean by that, is most reverbs need a lot of tweaking with limited tools; then came along Air Studio Reverb plugin. It blew my skirt up and rang my bell, so to speak. I first tried it with headphones on, and WOW!! I was impressed, and it was a breath of fresh Air, excuse the pun. I started to use it with most of my Spitfire libraries and a few 3rd party libraries, it does not dissapoint, i'm addicted to using it and replacing it with other instances of reverb plugins. There is so much under the hood to fine tweak. The reason I love this so much, is because I requented many large rooms and I was amazed by their accoustic values. My very first impression was in St Pauls Cathredal in London, where I once went on a school trip. I had the pleasure of a revisit many years later to happen upon a choir practice in progress, and it was so haunting in the space, and have never forgotten it; that's why I love choirs and the human voice. Worth every penny.
Air Studio Reverb is a plugin that I had long hoped for, but was convinced would never appear. But, where I’d simply imagined an add-on IR set for existing reverb plugins, what Spitfire has delivered is an extraordinary spatial and adaptable recreation of the Lyndhurst Air Studio, that is central to most of Spitfire’s libraries. Finally, this plugin allows non-Spitfire libraries and instruments to be properly blended with Spitfire sounds. It’s genius!!
Spitfire audio's Air studio reverb sounds phenomenal and I just fell in love with it instantly!
Hi, the reverb sounds good. Parameters give you many different possibilities to find what you are looking for. On the other hand, there are some problems loading the plugin into the session. Working in Protools, if you change the tail of the reverb, log out and log back in, the tail position returns to the starting point. Then if you open the plugin again it will do a new calculation and go to the saved position. In my opinion it is a big problem.
