Sonic Studio Licenses reNOVAtor DSP Technology from Algorithmix (8/6/2005)

DAW Legend Reinvigorates Professional Restoration on Mac OS

Sonic Studio, LLC announced today that they will license reNOVAtorª digital audio restoration technology for use in future professional audio products. Sonic Studio and Algorithmix GmbH of WaldshutÐTiengen, Germany struck an agreement licensing Algorithmix's high resolution mastering and restoration digital signal processing (DSP) software modules for use with Sonic Studio's upcoming, hardwareÐbased line of products.

The two companies will work together to implement the unique reNOVAtor sound repair technology on Mac OS X computers. "This agreement points to the future of audio restoration on the Mac platform and paves the way for Sonic Studio to offer a complete, ultraÐfidelity package accelerated for timeÐconstrained engineers," said Jon Reichbach, President of Sonic Studio.

"I'm sure that our brainchild, running on the newly revived Sonic Studio premium range, will be a success," said Algorithmix President Christoph M. Musialik from his headquarters in southern Germany, "and I personally know many mastering engineers who will be extremely happy to have reNOVAtor working with the Sonic Studio product family."

Sonic Studio officials cited Algorithmix's multi-DSP, real-time OS knowledge, coupled with their extended resolution and extremely low distortion processing and synthesis expertise as key considerations for being chosen. Both corporations will participate in development of SHARCÐ optimized modules for Sonic Studio's new, allÐdouble precision audio processing hardware.

"After researching the state of the art in restoration technology, we turned to Algorithmix for their outstanding intellectual property," said Jayson Tomlin, VP of Sales for Sonic Studio. "Together, we will be developing a new version of reNOVAtor along with other mastering and restoration tools for our next generation, multichannel offerings. We'll also explore future opportunities for creation of commodity software and specialized forensic bundles." reNOVAtor technology will be available as an option for soundBlade¥CD, a new, entry level premastering application, and also for upcoming hardwareÐassisted creations from Sonic Studio's California design lab.
