NUGEN Audio - AB Assist 2

AB Assist 2 is NUGEN Audio's comparison tool: a quick, honest way to switch between up to four pieces of audio, whether that's takes, mix revisions, versions of a master or two plugins doing the same job. Its blind test mode labels the sources randomly, so you choose with your ears rather than your expectations.

Fair comparisons

Louder nearly always sounds better, which makes most A/B tests meaningless. AB Assist 2 can match the short-term loudness (LUFS) of each source automatically, so you're judging tone and balance, not level. There's a mono check for hearing the fold-down, smooth fades between sources so the switch itself doesn't colour your judgement, and multiple instances talk to each other directly without needing an external send.

Where it fits

Choosing between mixes or masters, shoot-outs between plugins, and settling arguments with clients or bandmates. It also works on surround mixes in any channel count. A small tool that makes better decisions much easier.
