The Sunset Sound Studio Reverb II Black Friday deal takes 66% off IK Multimedia's reverb plugin, which brings it to $49.99 until Nov 30, 2026.
It is a standalone evolution of the original T-RackS plug-in, built around the live rooms of Sunset Sound Studios 1, 2 and 3.
IK's own description is a spatial instrument rather than a plain room emulation. It runs on Volumetric Response Modeling (VRM), a hybrid convolution technique, and the maker says the results are indistinguishable from recordings made in the real rooms.
Sunset Sound opened in 1958, founded by Tutti Camarata. IK developed the plugin with current studio owner Paul Camarata, and the rooms and gear have been maintained since the early 60s.
The positioning system lets you move a source around the room. Each move changes boundary reinforcement and early reflections, because every spot was sampled separately.
Size scales the impulse response length from 0% to 200%. The maker says it keeps the tonal fingerprint and early reflection structure of the original capture, so you can tighten a room or stretch a small one into a cinematic space.
Each engine has its own EQ, stereo control and routing. You can stack Live Rooms, Chambers, Iso Booths, EMT plates and AKG spring reverbs, or blend two room perspectives on one signal.
Directional mode uses focused dispersion, which IK pairs with vocals, guitar cabinets and brass. Omni mode spreads sound uniformly and is paired with drums, piano and ensembles.
Studios 1 and 3 model the movable absorption panels. The dampening states change reflection density, decay behavior and tonal balance at the source, so you can tame low-frequency buildup or soften high-frequency reflections without post EQ.
Two preamp and signal path emulations are on board: an API/DeMedio Sunset Sound Custom and a Class-A-Discrete NEVE 8880. Both add harmonic content to the signal.
The 3D interface shows source movement, diffusion selection, dampening states and routing in one view. Reverb time, width, frequency and microphone controls (left, right or both) sit alongside level monitoring for the mixed signals.
Yes. The Black Friday deal takes 66% off the IK Multimedia plugin, so it costs $49.99 until Nov 30, 2026. It is the standalone Version II, not an upgrade bundle.
It covers Sunset Sound Studios 1, 2 and 3, with 336 live room stereo IRs, Chambers, Iso Booths, EMT plates and AKG spring reverbs. Two independent engines, size control, per-channel EQ and two preamp emulations are built in.
Each studio offers up to 27 discrete source locations, each captured as its own acoustic event rather than interpolated. Moving between them changes boundary reinforcement, early reflections and spatial perspective.
Yes. The dual-engine design runs two fully independent reverbs in parallel. Each has its own EQ, stereo control and routing, so you can layer a live room with an EMT plate or an AKG spring.
