Introducing patented Clarity algorithm, Apple Logic Pro and Apple M1 support

Immersive audio specialist Dear Reality has announced a series of exciting updates to its spatializer, monitoring and mixing plug-ins. The dearVR PRO and dearVR MUSIC spatializer plugins now include the patented Sennheiser AMBEO Clarity algorithm for next-level binaural productions with less audible frequency coloration. Also, dearVR PRO and dearVR MONITOR now fully support Apple Logic Pro's multi-channel formats and Dolby Atmos workflows, enabling the user to monitor and create multi-channel mixes and Atmos productions. The company's Spatial Headphone Compensation (as used in dearVR MIX and dearVR MONITOR) additionally features Sennheiser's top-of-the-range closed-back model, the HD 300 PRO, while native Apple Silicon M1 compatibility makes all Dear Reality plugins the perfect solution for immersive desktop or remote productions.

New Clarity Feature - enhanced possibilities for professional binaural audio productions Binaural audio processing is a great way to add a new sound dimension to audio productions. By adding the Sennheiser AMBEO Clarity algorithm, Dear Reality enables users to reduce unwanted signal alterations resulting from head-related transfer functions (HRTF), thus taking the binaural processing to the next level. A human voice, for example, is so familiar to us that even slight changes already have a huge impact, while synthesized sounds need stronger binaural filtering to be perceived as coming from the correct direction, explains Christian Sander, co-CEO of Dear Reality.

The new Clarity feature in dearVR PRO and dearVR MUSIC lets users define the perfect balance between externalization and colorization, depending on the direction and source material. This also facilitates the smooth transfer to regular stereo loudspeaker playback devices.
