NUGEN Audio has announced the release of a major update to its tool designed for swift comparison between sources of audio. AB Assist 2 helps you conduct impartial blind tests, eliminating subjectivity and biases.

AB Assist is a tool for quickly comparing multiple pieces of audio. This could be different takes, mix revisions, versions of a master, plug-in options, or something else entirely! Blind tests can be conducted in ‘test’ mode, with the channels labelled randomly in order to remove any subjectivity or biases.

Changes in AB Assist 2

  • Receive and compare 4 audio sources.
  • Compare surround mixes in any channel count.
  • Auto-level-match: match short-term loudness (LUFS) of sources.
  • Mono-check: compare mono fold-down.
  • Smooth fades between sources.
  • Multiple plug-in instances communicate directly instead of using an external send.

Available for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX), AB Assist 2 is priced $49 USD. Existing owners of AB Assist can upgrade to AB Assist 2 for $10 USD via My Offers and Upgrades.
