2CAudio Aether
Quality

Electronic Musician, US

“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!”

Sound On Sound Mag, UK

“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 Mag, UK

“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.”

Recording Mag, US

“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”

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

“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.”
