NUGEN Audio proudly brings its innovative Aligner plug-in to the market for all audio engineers, complete with an updated algorithm and advanced features. Previously a “stealth” product exclusive to NUGEN subscribers, Aligner is now widely available, promising to significantly optimize the audio alignment process with the simplicity of a button press.
The Aligner plug-in addresses common issues when recording sound with multiple microphones, such as phase or polarity discrepancies. These complications can sometimes make a recording sound thin or weak. With Aligner, these potential challenges can be mitigated swiftly, eliminating manual corrections and freeing up valuable time for creative endeavors while also offering bypass controls for both individual channels and all tracks simultaneously, allowing users to designate an audio reference track for others to synchronize.
Freddy Vinehill-Cliffe, NUGEN Audio’s Product Specialist, explains, “Aligner can be used in a variety of scenarios, whether you’re aligning a multitrack recording with microphones placed at varying distances, rectifying the polarity of one microphone, or ensuring a microphone signal and DI signal align correctly.”
The Aligner plug-in also includes a unique polarity parameter to indicate if any track has altered polarities while in use. Additionally, it offers the option for manual sample delay or phase adjustments for those who prefer hands-on control. With NUGEN Audio’s market-leading tools, audio professionals can deliver high-quality, compliant audio more efficiently while preserving their creative process.
