slowfield audio / beta 0.3.4

stillroom

make space around your playing.

Let the notes lead and the room follow. Stillroom lowers the reverb while you play, then lets it bloom as a phrase fades. Use it on piano, guitar and spacious synth parts when you want a clear performance surrounded by atmosphere.

$Stillroom plugin beta$

your first five minutes

play. pause. listen.

Choose a starting preset, play a short phrase and leave a gap. The room should step back while you play and return afterwards. If quiet notes do not trigger enough retreat, adjust Sensitivity; if the response is too strong, reduce Breathing Room.

$Stillroom controls$

listen for the space moving.

The central display shows how much wet gain is available. The side meters show detected input and actual reverb contribution, so you can see whether the room is retreating, blooming or sitting open.

SpaceFrom a compact room to a broad ambient tail.

MixDry/wet blend; 20–40% works well on inserts, 100% on a return.

Output trimShared final level for keeping comparisons controlled.

why this beta exists

help the room find its rhythm.

Stillroom is only useful if the breathing behaviour feels natural on different instruments, playing levels and hosts. This test round is about finding the places where the response feels wrong, unclear or unreliable.

We also want to know which presets and musical uses feel worth developing further.
