    Paragon

    Paragon

    NUGEN Audio

    Paragon is a true convolution reverb with the flexibility and control of a classic algorithmic reverb, giving you the sound of real spaces, now with unprecedented tweakability. Via re-synthesis, Paragon offers full control of the decay, room size and brightness of reverbs modelled on 3D recordings of real spaces - with no time-stretching, which means no artefacts - not to mention spectral analysis and precise EQ of the Impulse Responses themselves. Paragon’s reverb decay and room size can be set significantly longer, larger, shorter and smaller than that of the original IR space, without introducing ugly artefacts as a result of stretching or removing samples. Unlike a traditional convolution reverb, Paragon does not use a static Impulse Response, and this wider scope allows you to transparently transform the sound of the space.

    Knorr

    Knorr

    Kleverb

    Knorr is a plugin that adds intensity and edge to a monophonic low frequency audio source (like a bass). The algorithm adds overtones to an existing sound in a way that isn’t possible with ordinary distortion or filtering. The underlying algorithm uses a combination of filtering, amplitude- and frequency modulation to process incoming audio. Knorr is developed with bass sounds in mind, but can be used on any monophonic sound source as long as there is audio content available in the low mids. Unique algorithm that adds overtones to the original sound in a way that can't be done using other bass-shaping methods. Good for all monophonic instruments within the bass - low mid range.

    Haaze 2

    Haaze 2

    Kleverb

    The upgraded Haaze v2 from Klevgrand is an elegant solution for controlling stereo width and spatially positioning a sound in a stereo mix. Regular L-R panning is a weak tool that doesn't resemble real-world acoustics, which becomes clear when trying to place a mono sound naturally in a stereo mix (especially on headphones). The result still feels very "mono". Haaze is an audio plugin that makes the positioning feel more natural, understandable and pleasant for the ears. It splits the audio signal into 16 frequency bands. On each band, you can delay the left or right signal (which will make the listener believe the sound arrives from the side that’s reaching the ear first), pan it to the left or right, or adjust the overall width on that band (for example, make the lower frequencies more focused in the middle than the higher). Haaze can also diffuse a mono signal and make it wider. If this sounds complicated.

    Audioalter

    Audioalter

    Audioalter

    This is a free web tool that allows you to remove the vocals from a song to create a karaoke version of it. How good the results will be depends on how the track is recorded. If any instruments are centered, they will also get removed. The vocals are removed by using the OOPS (Out Of Phase Stereo) effect. The OOPS effect relies on that most songs have the the vocals perfectly centered while the instruments are panned slightly to the left and right channel. The two channels are then subtracted from each other, and since the vocals are as present on the left channel as the right channel, they will cancel each other out and dissapear. This tool is specifically made to be used with voice recordings and will reduce unwanted sounds from the recordings while trying to maintain a good audio quality.

    Usually, vocal synthesis requires complex modeling algorithms that run on your host computer. This technology has not yet reached a fully-accurate level of realism and has been stagnating for quite some time. Emvoice takes a different approach. We've broken record vocals down to the granular level, recording the elements that make up individual phonemes at multiple pitches. Thousands of samples are reconstructed by a sophisticated cloud-based engine that returns the complete vocal to your system over the internet. What you're hearing when you listen to Emvoice One isn't artificial, it's a real singer's voice interpreting your own words. The Emvoice One plugin makes it easy to program notes and tie words to them, and the Emvoice engine does the hard work behind the scenes to recombine phonemes, but there's one more layer to how Emvoice works. Our engine translates English-language words into phonemes to more easily speak to the Emvoice, and also offers multiple pronunciation options.

    iZotope

    iZotope

    At iZotope, we’re obsessed with great sound. Our intelligent audio technology helps musicians, music producers, and audio post engineers focus on their craft rather than the tech behind it. We design award-winning software, plug-ins, hardware, and mobile apps powered by the highest quality audio processing, machine learning, and strikingly intuitive interfaces. In media production environments, where budgets are tight and timelines are even tighter, sound is often forced to take a backseat to picture. From flawed location sound to prohibitively expensive ADR to loudness requirements in final delivery, sound quality is compromised too often. iZotope products distinguish themselves by solving seemingly unsolvable audio challenges like these and doing so in a way that’s proven to save both time and money.

    Musicians miss out every day due to lost or unavailable tracks. AudioShake can take any audio--even if it was never multi-tracked--and break it into its stems, creating new uses for the music in instrumentals, samples, remixes, mash-ups and more. AudioShake can isolate dialogue, vocals, and instrumentals for karaoke, dubbing, synthetic voice, sync licensing, and other uses. AudioShake’s AI recognizes different components in a piece of audio--for example, the drums in a rock song. We then isolate that track so you can use it for new purposes--sampling, sync licensing, re-mixes, and more. AudioShake can also be used for re-mastering, or to remove bleed from a multi-tracked live recording.
