Audio Damage ADverb - Manual (Page 5)

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing ADverb, Audio Damage’s plate reverb emulation. With ADverb we have created a
reverb not intended to reproduce any particular physical space, but to enhance and flatter instruments and
voices. ADverb is particularly effective for use with synthesizers, guitars, and vocals.
ADverb was inspired by the digital reverbs of yesteryear, and faithfully recreates their thick, lush sound and
their hands-on, easy-to-use front panels. Rather than confusing you with a dizzying array of parameters, we
have provided a small but effective range of controls so that you can readily tailor ADverb’s carefully tuned
sound to fit your music.
System Requirements
To use ADverb, you'll need a Steinberg VST-compatible host application which conforms to the VST 2.0
specifications, and a computer capable of running it. For the AudioUnit version of ADverb, you’ll need an
application capable of hosting AudioUnit plug-ins, and an Apple computer with an Intel CPU capable of running
it. We support the use of ADverb under Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7; and Apple OS X version
10.5 or newer. All formats of ADverb are available as both 32- and 64-bit binaries.
Installation
Double-click the ADverb Installer icon, and follow the instructions. During the installation process the installer
will ask you to enter your registration code. Your registration code uniquely identifies your purchase, and you
will need it if you need to reinstall your plug-in (for example, after upgrading to a new computer). Keep a
copy of the code in a safe location and please don’t share it with your friends. We’re delighted if you like our
products so much that you want to share them, but please ask your friends to buy their own copy so that we
can keep making new products.
On OS X, the installer installs the Audio Unit and VST versions of ADverb by default. If you click the Customize
button you can choose to not install one or the other of these formats. There’s no need to install formats that
you don’t use, but on the other hand they don’t take up much space if you do install them. The OS X versions
are combined 32/64-bit binaries.
If you’re running a 64-bit version of Windows, you can also choose to install either 32- or 64-bit versions of
ADverb, or both. (There is no reason to install 64-bit plug-ins on a 32-bit version of Windows, and there are
good reasons to not do so.)
