Correct - but only Breeze 2.5 and Precedence currently have this feature. Each instance can momentarily be used to control all other instances. The Breeze instances will however still keep their unique impulse responses and the other parameters that are affected by Precedence. The Precedence instances will keep their individual distance and angle values.
If I understand this correctly, this "link" between Breeze and Presedence will internally "synchronize" the pre-delay, so that the reverb and the width/depth created with Precedence work correctly?
Not just the pre-delay - also the wet-dry amount and more. A new unique impulse response will be generated in real-time with each parameter change. That goes for all parameters within Breeze as well which affect the reverb directly.
That's why both Precedence and Breeze are not really meant to be automated.
(I think they should still allow this though instead of patronizing the user by preventing it
)
To be honest, I have tested some of these spatiality plugins in the past, and the results have been terrible, that's why I'm a bit biased about that...
I think I know where you are coming from here - it was the same for me. Breeze is really very different though. It's not trying to impress you using cheap tricks.
In my opinion the Precedence/Breeze combo is miles ahead of everything else.
With one instance of Precedence you can control the distance and position in the stereo field for every instance that is used in the project.
And once B2 and Aether will get updated and thus become part of this eco-system, it will even become much more powerful.
It's probably a can of worms to expose those parameters to host automation. Maybe eventually.
