NUGEN Audio For 139th AES Convention

NUGEN Audio has confirmed it will present its latest audio and loudness management products at the 139th AES Convention in New York City.

Highlights include a new filter morphing feature for the company's SEQ-S equalizer plug-in, plus SEQ-ST, a stereo version designed for music production; an update of the Visualizer audio analysis tool; and the first U.S. showing of the company's new Halo Upmix stereo-to-5.1/7.1 upmixing solution.

NUGEN Audio will also feature its range of tools for audio analysis, loudness metering, and mixing/mastering, including MasterCheck, a music-industry-specific audio plug-in designed to facilitate mix and mastering for the modern world of loudness normalized playout on platforms such as iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, and DAB Radio.

The company's line-up includes:

SEQ-ST Spline Equalizer With Filter Morphing
The SEQ-ST is a new, stereo-only version of SEQ-S, a full-surround sonic sculpting and matching EQ. SEQ-ST has been released in response to demand from the company's professional music production clients. The update includes a new filter morphing feature that allows fluid morphing between two sets of filter curves under full user control. Useful for creative effects and controlled scene transitions, this new feature has wide-ranging applications within the music, film, and post-production environments. In addition, NUGEN Audio's full-surround spline equalizer, SEQ-S, will receive an update (free to users), which includes the new filter morphing feature.

Visualizer Audio Analysis Update
At AES139, NUGEN Audio will introduce an upgrade to Visualizer, its audio analysis plug-in and standalone metering system. The latest version includes a new comparison mode, an upgrade to the Lissajous view, and numerous fine-tuning improvements, further enhancing intuitive operation and allowing rapid adjustment to achieve an optimized visualization for the task in hand. The update is available for both native and DSP versions of Visualizer.

Ideal for music mixing and mastering as well as audio post-production, Visualizer provides comprehensive audio analysis for recording, mixing, and mastering in a single plug-in. A standardized reference set of professional tools is designed to help audio engineers work faster, avoid mistakes, repeat past successes, and understand the success of others.

Halo Upmix: Stereo-to-5.1/7.1 Upmixing Solution
Halo Upmix was first launched at IBC2015 in Amsterdam in September. It is the first product based on the company's proprietary new processes for upmixing stereo audio to 5.1/7.1 surround in television and film productions.

Leq(m) Loudness Standard Support for Loudness Toolkit 2 and LMB Processor
NUGEN Audio will announce support for Leq(m) loudness measurement as a free update for its recently announced VisLM-H2 loudness meter, LM-Correct 2 loudness quick fix tool, and LMB Processor for batch loudness analysis and correction on multiple files. Leq(m) support provides mission-critical capabilities for audio professionals who work on theatrical trailer production.

Jon Schorah, Founder and Creative Director, NUGEN Audio, said: "For more than a decade, NUGEN Audio has been serving the needs of music producers in over 50 countries, from the hobbyist to some of the biggest Grammy award-winning names in the industry. At this year's AES Convention, we're looking forward to showing tools that address many different issues facing today's audio professionals. For example, the new stereo version of SEQ-S is in direct response to the needs of our music industry customers, priced accessibly for the broader production community. And Visualizer is going from strength to strength — meeting customers' demands for the most comprehensive audio analysis suite."
