These stunning new reverbs offer up to 22.2 (with the 3D option) and even up to 7.1 in the standard versions. These reverbs have been designed with post-production in mind and offer unprecedented dynamic control and reverb manipulation, to ensure that dialogues and effects retain clarity within the 3D audio soundscape.

This allows you to re-tune your audio to any target key (for example, from D major to C# minor), or to use it as a creative tool to modify the pitch content in any way you like. If you are unsure about the key of your input audio, you can let reTune estimate the key for you. In addition, reTune can act as a pitch correction tool that quantizes pitches to the nearest semitone.
