Product description

• MasterCheck Pro - Loudness Metering Plug-In (Download) MasterCheck Pro from NuGen Audio is a loudness metering plug-in that allows you to instantly hear how your mixes are affected by loudness-matching algorithms used by streaming apps, download stores, websites, and podcasts. The software analyzes your tracks to let you know how they respond to codecs and bandwidths across a variety of music delivery services, and gives you the tools to ensure that your music reaches your listeners sounding the way originally intended, on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, and more. MasterCheck Pro's toolset includes industry-standard loudness and peak-to-loudness ratio (PLR) meters, which show how the loudness of your mixes compares to that of your target platform. They also ensure that you stay within the delivery specs, and remain clip-free at all stages of the encoding process. Loudness auditioning reveals any change in level and compression, and allows you to find the sweet spot between perceived loudness and dynamics. The software detects clipping errors caused by mixes that are too "hot" for the encoding format of a given online music service. With real-time codec auditioning, MasterCheck Pro lets you previews your mix through different encoding schemes and quality settings. You can then identify frequency-masking or artifact issues, and correct these unwanted effects at the mix or mastering stages.

• Visualizer - Comprehensive Audio Analysis Plug-In Suite (Download) The Visualizer from NUGEN Audio is a spectrum analyzer plug-in that is designed for use in a multitude of recording, mixing and mastering situations. It is compatible with Mac and Windows and requires use of a host program that supports VST or AU plug-ins. The Visualizer is an audio analysis tool that can help you identify problematic frequencies, fundamentals, harmonics and much more. It has several visual displays including a traditional spectrum analysis display, a spectrogram display that shows level and frequency history with a zoom control, and primary and secondary meter displays which allow for multiple metering types to be viewed simultaneously. Some of the different metering types include standard peak and RMS metering, K-Scale meters and a stereo margin indicator that displays dB remaining until clip. The Visualizer is designed to be helpful in a wide variety of use cases. The software features a -20 dBFS RMS pink noise signal generator that can be used for acoustical testing purposes. It can be used to aide in "room tuning" for analyzing the acoustical properties of acoustic spaces such as control rooms, live rooms, auditoriums and more. Use Visualizer in recording situations for helping to determine mic placements, for EQing and more. Use it in mixing and mastering for investigating hard-to-hear low frequency issues, honing in on problem areas, examining phase relationships, peak monitoring and more.
  • Use to aide in leveling for broadcast standards
  • Comprehensive banding options include full spectrum, 1/3 and 1/6 octave banding
  • Correlation meter for metering relationships between discrete parameters of audio
  • Vectorscope phase analysis provides traditional rotated x/y oscilloscope with a polar interpretation and a stereo meter
  • Mid/side analysis functions to aide mid-side processing techniques
• ISL 2st - Real Time True Peak Stereo Limiter Plug-In (Download) ISL 2st from NuGen Audio is a true peak limiter designed for use in audio mixing and mastering, and provides the necessary final step when preparing stereo and mono content. Look-ahead functionality means the audio is examined before it actually passes through the limiter, helping to ensure that any transient peaks are limited correctly to avoid distortion. The true peak limit can be set directly to help ensure compatibility with loudness normalization standards used by iTunes Radio, Spotify and many others.
  
  With steering and ducking meters, the software provides the perfect settings. Whether preserving directional integrity or atmospheric ambience, the plug-in delivers the information and control needed to achieve those goals. Processing enhancements assess the incoming audio for frequency content and automatically take care of any minor adjustments required when LF content drives the limiter, delivering increased transparency whilst maintaining intuitive operation.
