01Overview

Paragon is a convolution reverb plugin from NUGEN Audio that combines the sound of real spaces with the control usually found in algorithmic reverbs. Its re-synthesis approach lets you adjust decay, room size and brightness of reverbs modelled on 3D recordings. It is aimed at post-production work, including surround and Dolby Atmos projects, and it runs in VST3, AU and AAX formats on Windows and macOS. This upgrade is intended for NUGEN Post Bundle owners who want to add Paragon to their existing setup.

Convolution Reverb With Adjustable Decay and Room Size

NUGEN Audio describes Paragon as a true convolution reverb that can be reshaped beyond the original impulse response. Re-synthesis lets you set the decay and room size significantly longer, larger, shorter or smaller than the source space. The developer says this is done without time-stretching or sample removal, so it avoids the artefacts that those methods can introduce.

The IR panel provides spectral analysis and EQ for the impulse responses themselves. You can also change the frequency-dependent decay rate, which shapes the brightness and tone of the reverb. This means a small set of recorded spaces can cover many configurations instead of storing a separate impulse response for each one.

Surround and Dolby Atmos Workflow

Paragon supports up to 7.1.2 channels and is intended for Dolby Atmos bed tracks and other surround applications. Its per-channel crosstalk controls determine how reverb from each channel interacts with the others. NUGEN Audio notes that this lets you create surround reverb from mono or stereo sources.

Per-channel HPF and LPF filters, plus a switchable LFE channel, give you control over how each channel is shaped in a surround mix.
