Golden DSP Silkbrush: Ambient Reverb Plugin with Dynamic Ducking

Posted on by

Golden DSP has released Silkbrush, a new algorithmic reverb plug-in designed to streamline ambient mixing. This tool combines classic Lexicon-style spatial characteristics with built-in ducking and dynamic frequency carving.

Key Features

The Dynamic Space Engine automatically ducks the reverb tail during dry transients and blooms during pauses. Additionally, Frequency Pocketing carves out conflicting frequencies to prevent masking of the lead signal.

Mid/Side Diffusion anchors the center dry signal while pushing high-frequency reflections to the stereo sides. Transient Softening applies ambient glue to drum breaks without introducing harsh transients.

Moreover, Silkbrush ships with 65 production-ready presets, offering a wide range of starting points for various mixes.

Availability and Pricing

Silkbrush is available immediately for Windows and macOS in VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats. It is currently offered at an introductory price of $39.00, with a regular price of $59.00.

In conclusion, this reverb is a practical choice for producers seeking intelligent ambience in dense sessions. Its CPU-efficient design ensures smooth performance even with many instances.
