NUGEN AUDIO PRODUCERS BUNDLE | Steve Sattler
There is so much more to church tech production these days than just the riding of faders . The role of tech teams has expanded exponentially in the last few years . From livestreaming , to broadcast , to mixing and mastering live recordings of your worship team ’ s music … you need to have a bevy of “ audio tech solutions ” under your hat .
Enter NUGEN ’ s Audio Producers Bundles . What is that you might ask ? The NUGEN Audio Producer Bundle is a suite of nine premium-grade mixing and mastering plugins designed to offer audio professionals end to end control over their production workflow as well as providing a comprehensive audio toolbox for mastering and delivery of your final mix onto today ’ s audio streaming platforms . NUGEN Audio ’ s Producer Bundle can also help in the preparation and delivery of your mixes for broadcast as well as a toolbox for general music production applications .
The NUGEN Audio producer bundle now includes Paragon ST , a Stereo version of Paragon ( NUGEN ’ s flagship multi-channel convolution reverb ), that has been specifically optimized for music production . Paragon ST is a true convolution reverb combined with the flexibility and control of a classic algorithmic reverb . Unlike most convolution reverbs , Paragon ST does not use a static impulse response algorithm . Using resynthesis technology ( developed with Dr . Jez Wells at the
University of York ), it is possible to significantly alter reverb decay , room size , and other parameters beyond the original space ’ s Impulse Response without the use of time stretching , which can cause undesirable artifacts .
Paragon ST ’ s microphone distance control allows you to adjust early reverb reflections in order to give an impression of the sound source being closer to , or further away from the listener , without affecting the overall sound of the space . A stereo width parameter also provides much more flexibility for fine-tuning within the stereo field . Also included is a reverb modulation utility with a rate control that can be used to lock Paragon ST to the tempo of your track .
