Скачать или смотреть Over The Rainbow – Vienna Synchron Stage Reverb Demonstration (No-Pan II)

This is the second entry in my No-Pan series — an ongoing exploration of spatial realism in virtual performances.
Here I use Vienna Symphonic Library’s Synchron Stage Reverb, a detailed acoustic model of the world-famous Synchron Stage Vienna.

🎧 For full effect, please listen with good headphones or studio monitors.
The spatial depth and width will not translate on laptop or phone speakers.

The material again comes from Israel Kamakawiwoʻole’s “Over The Rainbow”, but the focus this time is purely on how the sound changes as the performer moves across different stage positions and ambience settings.
There is no verbal explanation — what happens is entirely visible and audible.
After several stage and reverb variations, my virtual ukulele joins in for comparison.

Unlike No-Pan I, which demonstrated a reverb plug-in freely available to everyone, this plug-in was provided at no charge through my Focusrite Plug-in Collective membership — not a public giveaway.
Together, the two episodes illustrate how different acoustic models and diffusion algorithms affect perceived width, tone, and distance.
