ISL 2 from NuGen Audio is a true peak limiter designed for use in audio mixing and mastering, and provides the necessary final step when preparing audio for broadcast. 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 compliance with broadcast standards across a variety of mediums. With steering and ducking meters, the software provides the perfect settings. Whether preserving directional integrity, atmospheric ambience or taming a surround centre channel, the plug-in delivers the information and control needed to achieve those goals.
NUGEN Audio creates innovative, intuitive professional audio tools for high-end music producers, post-production engineers and broadcasters. Reflecting the real-world production experience of the design team, the company’s products make it easier to deliver better quality, save time and reduce costs.

Monofilter from NUGEN Audio is a bass mixing plug-in that can be used to enhance the bass in your mixes by helping to center them in the stereo field, to correct low frequency phase issues and more. The plug-in can be used on mono or stereo tracks for mixing, mastering, enhancing vinyl samples and more.
Phase issues in the low end of a mix can be caused by stereo mixing effects such as delays and choruses. Also, if samples with phase issues to begin with are used in the production, phasing can be present your mix as well. This can make the bass frequencies in your mix sound hollow or weak. To improve upon this, you can add Monofilter to your mix groups or effects returns and use the phase control parameter to align the phase of the low frequencies in the left versus right channels.
In addition, Monofilter has a crossover function that allows you to split an audio signal into two frequency bands for separate processing. This function, for instance, would allow you to separate the bass frequencies in a stereo file, mix them in mono, and process them by themselves. On the other hand, the frequencies above the threshold frequency could be mixed in stereo and processed separately. This can yield a more focused low end and ultimately a stronger, clearer mix. Stereoplacer from NUGEN Audio is a frequency dependent pan control plug-in that can be used in mixing, mastering, post production and more. It is compatible with Mac and Windows and requires use of a host program that supports RTAS, VST or AU plug-ins.
The Stereoplacer plug-in works by allowing you to separate the different frequency ranges of mono or stereo audio files in to discrete bands. It then gives you spatial control over these bands, allowing you to independently reposition them within the stereo field. Stereoplacer can be used for fixing problems in mixing and mastering, or it can be used creatively in sound design, sample tweaking and more. For example, you can improve upon stereo recordings such as drum overheads that suffer from poorly placed microphones. By repositioning the problem areas in a frequency specific fashion and leaving the rest of the recording intact, you can help to create a more balanced stereo image.
It can also be used on problematic samples to help you showcase desired elements of the sample's mix by allowing you to pan unwanted frequencies away from the focal point. Similarly, it can be used in sound design to highlight desired elements of harmonically complex synth sounds. 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.
