Essential Information About NUGEN Paragon Software (Upgrade from Paragon ST)
- Upgrade to Paragon to unlock multichannel support up to 7.1.4 and an immersive workflow ready for Dolby Atmos.
- True convolution reverb with the flexibility of a classic algorithm: control duration, room size, and brightness without artifacts.
- 3D IR re-synthesis to sculpt timbre, EQ, and frequency-dependent decay times.
- Per-channel crosstalk, high-pass/low-pass filters, switchable LFE channel, and Compact mode for streamlined essentials.
Requirements Based on License Type
This version is an upgrade (UPG) from "Paragon ST." To activate it, you must have an eligible Paragon ST license registered on the same customer account. The Paragon ST serial number/license proof may be required during installation or activation. If you do not own Paragon ST, please choose the standard version of Paragon.
What NUGEN Paragon Is For
Designed for post-production, immersive mixing, and music, Paragon delivers reverb of real spaces (rooms, stages, churches, studios) with surgical control. It is ideal for Dolby Atmos beds, cinema/TV ambiences, or music productions requiring a credible spatial signature, from mono to 7.1.4.
Main Features
Reinvented Convolution
Thanks to IR re-synthesis, Paragon allows you to lengthen or shorten the room size and reverb well beyond the original recordings without time-stretching, thus without artifacts. You shape the space rather than stacking IR libraries.
Tonal Sculpting and Frequency-Dependent Decay
Edit the reverb model itself: built-in EQ, brightness control, and decay time adjustment per band to tailor the reverb tail to the program (dialogue, FX, music).
Controlled Immersion
Up to 7.1.4, Paragon offers configurable crosstalk channel by channel to create life between speakers or improve intelligibility (for example, reducing reverb on the center while maintaining space on other channels). Switchable LFE and HPF/LPF filters per channel ensure precise low-frequency management.
Fast Workflow
Spectral analysis, clear interface, and Compact mode speed up auditioning settings and adapting to post-production deadline constraints.
