NUGEN’s Trio — Stereoplacer, Monofilter & Stereoizer
Share
When it comes to refining spatial characteristics in audio—whether for music production, post, or restoration—NUGEN Audio’s trio of plugins stands out. Each tool offers unique control over your stereo field, letting you sculpt depth, clarity, and direction with precision.
1. Stereoplacer: Frequency-Specific Stereo Placement
Think of Stereoplacer as a surgical stereo balancer. It allows you to isolate specific frequency bands and reposition them across the stereo panorama, without disturbing the rest of the mix. Want to move just the attack of a bass guitar off-center while keeping its low rumble intact? This plugin handles that seamlessly. It’s invaluable for restoration (fixing poor mic placement or reviving old recordings) and for creative mixing flexibility.
2. Stereoizer: Widen with Full Control and Integrity
Stereoizer enhances—or creates—stereo width using intelligent algorithms rooted in psychoacoustics. Whether you’re turning a mono signal into believable stereo or stretching an existing stereo mix into a wider panorama, it delivers natural results without artificial reverb or chorus. Crucially, it maintains full mono compatibility, a must-have when balancing for playback systems that collapse stereo content.
3. Monofilter: Tame the Low End with Precision
Low frequencies are powerful but precarious. Monofilter ensures your bass remains centered and phase-coherent by letting you independently control mono and stereo components, apply phase alignment, and even choose zero-latency or linear-phase algorithms depending on the task—mastering, vinyl cutting, or live use.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re crafting immersive mixes, rescuing archival material, or preparing vinyl-ready masters, NUGEN’s trio offers surgical-level control. Their combination of precise visual feedback, algorithmic integrity, and mono-compatibility makes them indispensable for professional audio workflows.
