NUGEN Audio, based in Leeds, UK, is marking 20 years in the audio editing industry. The company will celebrate this milestone at IBC 2024.
NUGEN Audio was established by a DJ/EDM producer and a lead programmer from a prominent UK game development company. Initially, the company focused on stereo-image-related plug-ins for music production. Over the years, NUGEN Audio has broadened its product offerings to include tools for loudness metering and correction, surround sound, mixing and mastering, tracking, and audio analysis. These tools are widely used in post-production, broadcast, and music industries.
Development and Growth of the Company
Dr. Paul Tapper, CEO and Co-Founder of NUGEN Audio, played a significant role in the company’s development. He developed many of the core algorithms used in NUGEN Audio’s products, such as those for loudness metering, correction, DynApt, upmixing, and True Peak limiting. Before founding NUGEN Audio, Tapper was a lead programmer at Runecraft and Team 17 Digital. Alongside his work at NUGEN Audio, he now manages Fruity Systems, an immersive gaming brand.
Focus on Practical Solutions
From its inception, NUGEN Audio has focused on addressing real-world audio processing challenges. The company’s engineers are dedicated to applying advanced audio processing techniques to develop practical tools for everyday use. The VisLM loudness meter, a widely recognized industry standard, and the Halo Upmix tool for immersive audio, are examples of NUGEN Audio’s commitment to providing practical and innovative solutions.
