The iZotope Post Production Surround Reverb Bundle packages three pieces of reverb and ambience-matching software into one convenient download. First, you get Dialogue Match, a Pro Tools AudioSuite plug-in designed to make looped dialogue fit seamlessly with audio recorded on set. Then, you get two surround-sound reverbs that excel in the post production context: Exponential Audio Stratus and Symphony Surround reverbs.
All three of these tools are very well suited for post-production sound in TV, film, radio, podcasting, and anywhere else supportive sound is heard. This software works on Mac and Windows computers. Stratus and Symphony operate in AU, AAX, and VST formats, while Dialogue Match only operates in the Pro Tools AudioSuite format.
Available for download, iZotope Dialogue Match is a tool designed to make the lives of post-production engineers easier, specifically by matching the timbre and ambience of ADR dialogue with material recorded in production. Using iZotope's machine learning, the company's forensic technologies, and Exponential Audio's reverb algorithms, Dialogue Match expertly massages looped dialogue so that it naturally matches the tone of the original scene.
Operating has been made streamlined and simple: first, you capture a reference profile from a desired track such as a character's dialogue as recorded within the scene itself from a boom or lapel microphone. Then in Pro Tools, you highlight the audio you're intending to affect, such as the ADR. Hit the Capture button in the GUI, and the software will automatically calibrate an EQ curve and an ambience and reverb profile, creating the perfect match.
From here, you can tweak the EQ curve, the reverb, and the ambience by ear if need be. Hit render, and the processing is completed.
Dialogue Match allows you to save snapshots as presets, so you don't have to keep tweaking the chain every time you're working with similar audio. You can also save captured references for storage. This speeds up your workflow, because you won't have to keep recapturing the same audio for targeting.
This software is only available as an AudioSuite process in Pro Tools 11 or later. It is compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems.

- Individual Enable/Bypass controls on each band node for easy A-to-B comparisons
- Wet and Dry controls: Presented as individual parameters to better balance your desired reverb tone
- Bypass: Enables and disables the Reverb module
- Early Reflections: Controls the Level (gain) and Time (length) of the first reverb reflections
- Tail: Controls the Predelay, Level, Attack, and Time (length) of the reverb tail
- Reverb types: Choose from Chamber, Hall, or Plate reflections to tailor the right reverb for your project
- Output Filter: Offers high and low pass filtering for your reverb signal
- Density: Colors your reverb for even more precise fine-tuning
Audio professionals in search of a top-quality reverb will be impressed with the iZotope Exponential Audio Symphony, an algorithmic reverb that can add character and color to sound sources. This plug-in offers support up to 7.1 surround. As such, you'll find it suitable for both music and postproduction contexts.
Exponential Audio plug-ins trace their origin in the classic Lexicon units of yesteryear. This plug-in certainly expands upon that sound, adding color as well as dimension to your signals. This product is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms. It operates in AU, VST, and AAX formats. An iLok account is required for authorizing the plug-in, though an iLok key is not strictly necessary.
- Lush surround reverb algorithm for up to 7.1 channels
- Freeze, Chorus, and Gate modules for creative effects
- Channel-specific control over reverb gain and delay
- Advanced control of reverb tail and early reflections
- Over 1700 presets (rooms, plates, halls, chambers, and more)
- EuControl support
- Early Reflections: Tailor the sound to your needs in highly specific ways.
- Tails: Discover a whole new set of controls over the late reflections.
- Input Filtering: High-, low-, and band-pass tweaking on global inputs, early reflection inputs, and tail inputs respectively.
- Warp: Add compression and overdrive while facilitating other effects, such as bit-reduction for a more vintage, digital sound.
- Chorus: Adds modulation and you can separately dictate how the modulation effects the tails or early reflections on an individual bases. Gate: Create classic, gated-reverb sounds.
- Freeze: Achieve weird, momentary effects.
- Balance: Ensures you can tweak the signal for each channel independently. This section offers controls over levels and delays on a per-channel basis. Go into this tab when you want to create compelling soundscapes for surround-sound formats.
