NUGEN Audio - Paragon ST

Paragon ST is NUGEN Audio's stereo convolution reverb, the music-production version of its flagship Paragon. It gives you the realism of real recorded spaces with the kind of control you'd normally only get from an algorithmic reverb: change the decay, room size and brightness freely, without the artefacts that usually come with stretching an impulse response.

Convolution without the straitjacket

A normal convolution reverb is stuck with whatever impulse response you load. Paragon doesn't use a static IR. It re-synthesises the response of the real space, so decay, size and brightness can be reshaped while it remains true convolution, with no time-stretching involved. That's the clever part, and it's why the tails stay natural even when you push them well away from the original room.

Built for music

The ST version adds controls aimed squarely at producers: tempo-locked pre-delay and modulation, a stereo width control based on NUGEN's Stereoizer technology, mic distance, channel crosstalk for building stereo reverb from a mono source, spectral analysis and a compact mode for when screen space is tight.

Where it fits

Anywhere you want a believable space: vocals, acoustic instruments, drums and orchestral parts, or a subtle room to glue a dry mix together. It's less about washy special-effect reverbs and more about depth that sounds real. If convolution has always felt too rigid for you, this is the one that fixes it.
