What it's doing, then the same passage with AETHER bypassed and in — level-matched, on its own faceplate — and the quick facts.
Why it exists
FDN spatial reverb
Most reverbs make you choose: small and boring, or huge and washy. And the moment you push the decay, the tail starts chewing on the mix.
AETHER's FDN core stays lush at every size. Shimmer lifts a vocal tail an octave into the air; freeze holds a chord forever while you play over it; modulated tails move without ever wobbling out of tune. Run four sends of it — it was built for real sessions.
In the session
- 01Float a vocal tail on shimmer with one preset.
- 02Freeze a chord and play new lines over it.
- 03Run tight rooms that never wash the mix.
- 04Stack multiple sends without CPU panic.

Straight answers
Before you run AETHER.
Which DAWs does AETHER work in?
Pro Tools (AAX); Logic Pro and GarageBand (AU, macOS); Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One and Reaper (VST3). It ships as VST3, AU, AAX on macOS and Windows. The install guide covers where each format lands and how to rescan if a host doesn't see it.
What are the system requirements?
macOS: macOS 11+ · Apple Silicon + Intel (Universal). Windows: Windows 10/11 · 64-bit · VST3 + AAX. Licensing is iLok; no USB dongle is required.
Does AETHER add latency?
Where the engine needs lookahead or oversampling, AETHER reports its latency to your DAW, which compensates automatically, so it stays in time with the rest of the session. On a live input, check your host's low-latency or monitoring mode.
Can I try AETHER before buying?
Yes, through the subscription: the 7-day trial covers every unit, AETHER included, with nothing charged until it ends. Individual plugins and bundles don't have separate trials.
Do I need an iLok dongle?
No. The license lives on your iLok account and can be activated to your computer, to iLok Cloud, or to a USB key — your choice.
How do I install it?
Through the Echelon Audio Hub: sign in once, and it installs, updates and rolls back every unit you own or subscribe to.
Are updates free?
Yes. A perpetual AETHER license includes every update to AETHER; subscribers get updates and every new unit as it lands.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Perpetual licenses have a 7-day refund window from purchase, as long as the license is surrendered from your iLok account. On the subscription, cancelling inside the trial means you pay nothing. If something is broken and support can't fix it, we'll make it right regardless.
