WoodVerberator vs GSDSP MagicFilter
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
WoodVerberator
This app offers advanced convolution reverb with adjustable parameters like damping, distribution, and stereo creation. It includes filters, modulation, gating, ducking, and delay effects, all controllable for the reverb tail. Users can load their own impulse response files and monitor audio levels.
- Adjustable reverb time (0-10s)
- Damping and distribution controls
- Stereo creation options
- Tail-only filters (HPF, LPF, Saturator)
- Tail-only modulation (Amplitude, Phase)
- Gating and Ducking with sidechain
- User IR file loading

WoodVerberator is a convolution based reverb with some extra features : - Reverb time can be set from 0 to 10s or to the IR file native length. - Has controls to adjust the reverb (damping, distribution). - Stereo can be created by either using a stereo IR file or by de-correlating a mono file or both. - Has an HPF, LPF and saturator which work on the reverb late part (Tail) only, the early-late boundary can be set. - Had Amplitude and Phase modulation which work on the reverb late part only, the early-late boundary can be set. - Has Gating which can also be driven by the side chain. - Has Ducking which can also be driven by the side chain. - Has an extra Delay which works on the reverb late part only, the early-late boundary can be set. - Has general HPF, LPF and De-Essing filters. - Has a quality control to balance the CPU load. - Has the standard Mix and Pre-Delay controls. - User IR files can be tried and added to the WoodVerberator IR folder so they appear in the IR dropdown. - Has Input and Output level meters. - Has a graph displaying the IR.

This Spectral Processing Workstation lets you craft evolving, non-linear filter shapes and movements impossible to achieve with analogue EQs. Multi-Curve Spectral Filtering MagicFilter is a multi-curve spectral filter and EQ workstation designed for detailed, creative frequency shaping. Apply independent filter amounts per frequency or frequency range, then mix, modulate, and spread your curves to create anything from subtle, organic movement to extreme spectral transformations. Beyond Conventional EQ Unlike analogue or traditional digital EQs, MagicFilter operates in the frequency domain, enabling filter curves and dynamics that would be impossible with hardware. Design non-linear, highly customized shapes and introduce dynamic movement through modulation. Morph seamlessly between four different filter curves, and use the Curve Modifier to shift, invert, or skew them — even in stereo — for precise and flexible control over spectral motion. Global Controls & Fine Shaping Quickly adjust cut and boost amounts to refine your overall curve, and use the built-in lowpass and highpass filters to set the tonal boundaries of your sound. Fine-tune the balance using wet gain and dry/wet control, enabling anything from subtle enhancement to bold, transformative filtering. These controls ensure fast, intuitive workflow while offering deep flexibility. MagicFilter is an AUv3 audio effect plugin compatible with Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, GarageBand and many more. A Desktop version is also available for Windows and macOS (VST3 / AU / AAX). More information here: https://gs-dsp.com/products
