For those of a certain age, the name Wizoo Sound Design might ring some (dusty) old bells. The German software company was at the forefront of plugin design back in the early days. Subsequently hoovered up by Digidesign and folded into Avid’s Pro Tools, many members of that original team went on to form AIR Music Technology. It’s a team that has subsequently spawned some incredible wares, including the recently released ’80s-leaning softsynth, the Jura (that we’ll be spending some time with shortly). Today though, we’re taking a look at the company’s newest effect plugin, AIR Delay Pro; an adaptable delay that promises a great deal more than you might initially expect from first glance.
Firstly, the UI is a neat, colour-coordinated affair, with the current delay rates and time divisions visible at the top half of the plugin, along with the option to switch from Digital to Analog modes. There’s a nice rendering of the circular environment, which visualises any changes made in real-time. Rotary controls for modulation and LFO are on the bottom left-hand side, while EQ settings and input/output controls sit on the right, alongside limiter, distortion controls and a shimmering chorus effect. There’s also a stereo widener which can increase or decrease the enveloping nature of the delay across your mix. So far, we’re on fairly standard ground, but AIR Delay Pro’s triple-headed selling point is its platter of neat, unique, capabilities.
