Plugin Boutique is offering the Mutant Reverb ($39 value) reverb effect by W.A. Production as a free download from their website. UPDATE: This offer has expired!
Mutant Reverb is an algorithmic reverb plugin with mono-to-stereo functionality and a ducker module. One of the plugin’s main features is its ability to turn a mono signal into a stereo audio signal by applying stereo reverb. Mutant Reverb is available in VST, AU, and AAX plugin formats for digital audio workstation software on PC and Mac. Both 32-bit and 64-bit plugin hosts are supported.

The reverb ducking technique is useful for keeping the source audio distinguishable. It is especially helpful for lead vocals that may get overwhelmed by longer reverbs. Ducking the reverb signal will make sure that the main vocal stays focused and clear. Another type of signal where ducking can be useful are drum beats and percussion. In this case, the ducking reverb can be used as a more creative effect for making the drums sound bigger as they cut through the reverb signal.
In addition to the ducker module, Mutant Reverb features all the usual algorithmic reverb controls. The user can adjust the reverb length and size, pre-delay time, diffusion amount, as well as tonal shaping and damping of the reverb tail. The plugin also features a real-time waveform display, which can help with monitoring the volume and shape of the reverb signal.
Mutant Reverb is usually priced at $39, but you can download it for free via Plugin Boutique. A valid email address is required to sign up for a free Plugin Boutique user account. Also, by the end of the month, you will receive a free copy of the ERA 4 Voice Leveler plugin by Accusonus with any purchase at Plugin Boutique.
