Kojima Audio Distance – IRZU INSTITUTE

Distance is a plug-in designed to change the perceived distance of a sound source in a more natural way than simple reverb or EQ. When you want something to feel a few meters farther away, traditional tools often miss the mark. It is built for a subtle kind of depth control: in some mixes the change may feel small at first, but when that slight front-to-back shift is exactly what you need, Distance can be surprisingly useful. It is still early, and the algorithm will keep improving over time.

What it does:

Change the perceived distance of a source without relying on reverb alone.
Help sounds feel farther away or closer in a way that is more convincing than simple tonal darkening.
Aim for subtle, mix-friendly depth control that can sit naturally inside a real mix.
Be especially useful when a source needs to move just a little in depth, even if the difference is not dramatic on every sound.
Focus on being a practical utility plug-in rather than a flashy special effect, with future algorithm improvements still planned.
