NUGEN Audio has announced the latest addition to its software lineup.

Paragon is the world’s first 3D-compatible convolution reverb, offering full control of the decay, room size and brightness via state-of-the-art re-synthesis modeled on 3D recordings of real spaces.

Paragon also provides an unprecedented level of tweak-ability, with zero time-stretching – which means no artifacts. Additionally, Paragon features spectral analysis and precise EQ of the Impulse Responses (IR).

With purity of sound at the forefront of this plug-in, Paragon reverb operates in up to 7.1.2 channels of audio, making it perfect for surround applications, including Dolby Atmos bed tracks. Further, it features individually configurable crosstalk per channel, unique technology for re-synthesis of authentic IRs, HPF and LPF per channel, and switchable LFE.

“Different from any other convolution reverb on the market, NUGEN Audio’s Paragon reverb plug-in has been our best-kept secret, and we’re excited to now unveil it to the world,” says Paul Tapper, CEO, NUGEN Audio.

“With Paragon, gone are the days of enormous IR libraries. This technology not only enables users to reduce the sheer volume of recordings, it also encourages a greater level of creativity. We’re grateful to all of our developers and beta testers who helped make this possible and look forward to hearing feedback from the industry.”

Using state-of-the-art technology developed alongside the University of York’s Dr. Jez Wells, 3D Impulse Responses are analyzed, decomposed and re-synthesized to create new authentic spaces. This ensures a small digital footprint for the IR library and makes it possible to configure limitless combinations of spaces with just a few adjustments to the settings.
