Doppler is a top - notch audio plugin for sound design and audio post - production. It's amazing at simulating sound moving through the air, transforming your mix into a super immersive sonic experience. Doppler mimics objects moving through air, giving audio highly accurate passing - by sound characteristics. You can control all real - world parameters affecting pitch, level, and EQ, getting the most natural - sounding emulation. Features include a highly accurate Doppler engine used in Hollywood studios, support for various immersive audio formats like mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1, 9.1 Dolby Atmos, and Ambisonics. It offers perfect image sync, includes distance EQ, has full integration with Imperial and Metric units, and allows editing via control surfaces. Air is a great addition. For sound effects, it adds depth and distance to sounds, no need to re - record. In mixing, with just one knob, it accurately simulates sound distance, making audio assets resemble real - life events. For Automated Dialog Replacement, it helps achieve a natural - sounding distance effect. Air comes with several location settings, provides a more accurate result than a simple low - pass filter, shows the applied frequency response, allows control of distance attenuation, uses both Imperial and Metric units, and can be edited via control surfaces. System requirements include MacOS 10.9 or higher, Windows 7 SP1 or higher, a minimum dual - core CPU (4 - core recommended), 4GB RAM (8GB recommended), 600MB disk space per plugin, and supports AAX Native, AU, VST2, VST3 formats. Pro Tools 11 or above is required for AAX.
Using the Sound Particles Doppler & Air Bundle is a breeze. For the Doppler plugin, start by selecting your preferred audio format, whether it's mono, stereo, or more advanced ones like 5.1 or Dolby Atmos. You can set the time for the peak of the Doppler to sync with your image. Control the parameters affecting pitch, level, and EQ as you would in a real - world situation. You can use control surfaces such as AVID S6 to make these adjustments easily. When using the Air plugin, if you're working on sound effects, just add it to your sounds to give them depth and distance. For mixing, turn the single knob to simulate the distance of the sound. For Automated Dialog Replacement, it will help make the dialog sound natural. Remember, make sure your system meets the requirements. You need MacOS 10.9 or higher, Windows 7 SP1 or higher, at least a dual - core CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 600MB of disk space per plugin. For AAX, Pro Tools 11 or above is needed.
