“I've been a big fan of 2CAudio's Aether algorithmic reverb since its introduction last year. Version 1.5 boasts improved sound quality and terrific new features.. Using Aether's highest quality modulation setting and enabling 4x OverSampling, the sound quality went from great to superb yet demanded only about 5 percent of my Mac Pro's resources with a single instantiation. Aether offers world-class reverb at a great price. ”

“2010 Editors Choice Award! 5/5 Review Score! Aether is a reverb plug-in like no other. Offering over 40 adjustable parameter controls, many of them unique to Aether, it may be the most programmable reverb plug-in on the planet. But that wouldn't mean much if this processor didn't also sound good. No worries, Aether sounds incredible! Aether is an engineer's wet dream. The outstanding sound quality, deep programmability and great price make Aether the reverb plug-in to beat!”

Recording Mag, US, 10/09

“For anyone with at least a fast dual-core computer, I can recommend Aether without reservation. It's powerful beyond just about anything else out there, and gobs of fun to mess with. The universe of native reverbs has a new gold standard”

Sound On Sound, UK, 09/09

“Overall I was deeply impressed by Aether's rich and versatile sound and it's the best sounding native plug-in reverb i've heard to date by a long chalk. This is a damn fine reverb and 2Caudio should be very proud of their first baby.”

Computer Music, UK, 05/09

“10/10! Editors Choice Award! Performance Award! One of the best algorithmic Reverbs we've ever heard! Fantastic Sound quality. Great for both mixing and sound design. Highly useful tail envelope controls. Excellent categorized presets. ER Space presets system is very cool.”

Sascha Dikiciyan, LA, CA, www.sonicmayhem.com

“Aether blew my mind. It is really the best algorithmic reverb out there. I will be using it on pretty much everything.”

Richard Devine, Atlanta, www.richard-devine.com

“Aether is stunning. A true work of art. It has completely blown me away in terms of depth, and sound quality. Highly recommended if your looking for something totally unique and out of the ordinary for reverbs. Simply Love It!”

Barry Jamieson, Invol2ver, www.djsasha.com

“Aether has a sculptural quality to it that makes it instantly pleasing to hear. It allows you to perfectly shape the space around your sound, giving it an incredible and convincing ambience. It has given me extremely detailed and warm sounding reverbs that are hard to find this good, even from some of the best hardware and software reverbs available. Simply first class.”

Aether is an award-winning, ultimate quality, self-modulating algorithmic reverb. We believe it is one of the best sounding reverbs on the market at any price point.

...plus a completely new GUI, which retains the same layout as the previous version, but focuses on improvements to readability, usability, and communication of relevant parameter info such as measurement units.

Aether 1.0 took the industry by storm in 2009, and established itself as the leading native algorithmic plugin on the market. Through its combination of quality, innovation, and usability it quickly rose to the top of market as the go-to reverb of 2009. It was awarded several prestigious industry awards along the way including, Electronic Musician's 2010 Editor's Choice Award, Computer Music's Editor's Choice & Performance Awards, Musician's Life Editor's Choice award, and others. Aether 1.5.0 rose the bar once again in April of 2010, and took native algorithmic reverb to a whole new level by offering the aforementioned list of industry-first advances in terms of audio quality and functionality. Aether 1.5.1 expands the market reach to the Pro Tools community, offers existing users a large number of free presets, and provides other miscellaneous enhancements.

• Minor algorithm refinements and bug fixes
• General enhancements to usability for various host and operating system combinations
• Redesigned Windows installer system intended to facilitate concurrent use of 64-bit and 32-bit hosts

Most reasonable companies would have likely called Aether 1.5 a 2.0 version and made it a paid update; however, we do things a little differently at 2CAudio. We enjoy going to extremes both to develop the best possible products and to take the absolute best care of our existing customers. By doing so, we develop strong customer loyalty and a rapidly expanding user-base, and we are happy to be able to consider our customers as our friends.
