Supertone Air 1.0.1 Mac download

Supertone Air is a dialogue processing plugin that matches reverb and EQ between production audio and ADR takes.

Insert on ADR track after gate or de-esser

Insert it on your ADR track, after any noise gate or de-esser. It compares the source production dialogue and applies matching reverb and EQ to the dry recording.

What about buses?

You can also place it on an auxiliary bus feeding your ADR track group. This works when you want the same match profile across multiple takes or characters.

What are the typical jobs?

Quick ADR matching for post-production dialog replacement. It grabs reverb decay, damping, and proximity from the original track, so you spend less time dialing in reverb tails manually.

When would you use the direct, early, and late controls?

If the source room is tricky — say, a live set with weird reflections — tweak early and late reflection sliders to tune the match without touching EQ.

Common beginner mistakes with Supertone Air

New users often expect instant results on the first pass. The plugin needs a clean source reference. Feeding it noisy or clipped production audio gives poor matching. Always check your source track for distortion before capturing the profile.

Another mistake: applying Supertone Air to the whole mix instead of just the ADR track. The plugin is designed for dialogue, not room tone or effects. Keep it targeted on dialog takes only.

Beginners also ignore the sample rate setting. Supertone Air supports 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, and 96 kHz. If your session runs at 88.2 kHz, the plugin won't process. Match your session to one of these rates before you try to match audio.

Exporting Air profiles is useful, but some users skip naming them clearly. If you work on a long project with many scenes, label profiles by episode or location. That saves time later when you need to re-match the same room.

Match reverb decay to production tail length

Open the plugin and check the reverb decay slider. The default may not match your source room. Start with decay set to match the production audio's tail length, then adjust damping and proximity. These three controls handle most room matching tasks without touching EQ.

The direct reflection slider is good to leave neutral until you hear slap echoes. Then nudge it just enough to tame them. The early and late reflection sliders usually need small adjustments — big changes can make dialog sound unnatural.

Before processing, set the plugin to offline mode if you use Pro Tools AudioSuite. Running it in real-time can cause unnecessary CPU load on large sessions. Process the selected clips in AudioSuite, then review the result.

Re-insert plugin after file name change

• The plugin file name changed from Air to Supertone Air. Old sessions that referenced Air may need the plugin re-inserted. Check your template sessions after updating.
• The update fixed an installation conflict with Sound Particles Air. If you had both plugins installed, Supertone Air would not appear in your DAW. That issue is now resolved. Clear your plugin cache after updating to make sure the new file loads.

No other workflow changes in this version. The controls and matching behavior remain the same as the initial release.
