AURA Lite
A Free Reverb That Knows When to Duck
Size, Decay, Mix, and the control the full version is built around. Turn CLARITY up and the tail steps back while your source is playing, so you can run it wetter than you normally would.
Four Knobs
There is nothing to learn. The display shows you what the reverb is doing.
CLARITY
The one that matters
Ducks the tail while the source is playing and lets it back in the gaps. The GR readout shows how much.
Size and Decay
Set the space
How big the room is and how long it rings.
Mix
How much of it
Dry to wet, with the spectrum display showing both.

Version History
A Re-Voiced Engine
AURA Lite shares the full AURA engine, and this release re-voices it: we A/B'd the tail against the best-regarded reverbs out there, one change at a time, by ear. Tails are smoother and less metallic, and the top end gets out of the way the way expensive reverbs do. Your existing projects are safe: they automatically load with the previous sound, and new instances use the new voicing. Same four controls as always. This re-voicing is why the version jumps from 1.0.1 straight to 1.2.0.
Cut the Tail From the Transport
Stopping playback twice now cuts the reverb tail: the first stop lets it ring out, the second wipes it.
Cleaner Freezes and Wake-Ups
Freezing or rendering a track in Ableton Live could print a loud dry spike at the top of the bounce, a track waking from sleep in CLAP hosts could pop with leftover reverb, and switching the plugin off and quickly back on could bring the tail back with a burst. All three are gone; normal playback is bit-for-bit unchanged.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no email, no trial period. Download it and use it, including on commercial work.
What does CLARITY do?
It turns the reverb tail down while your source is playing and lets it back up in the gaps, so the reverb stops competing with the thing it's meant to flatter. The GR readout in the display shows how much it's pulling.
What am I missing versus the full AURA?
Six more characters, Duck Lows plus attack and release on the clarity stage, predelay and early reflections, the tail and response controls, the gate, the editable decay curve, and A/B, Delta and external sidechain.
Will it keep working?
Yes. It's free forever and it gets updates like everything else.
