CMP Studio Tackles Immersive Mixing With Nugen Audio

Like many in the industry, Multi-platinum, Award-winning Producer, Engineer, Mixer, Songwriter and Musician Clint Murphy's latest work has been consumed by Dolby Atmos projects.

This pushed him to relocate back to his native New Zealand, where he opened CMP Studios, the country's first and only Dolby Atmos mixing studio. Some of his most recent immersive projects include mixing rock band Enter Shikari's critically acclaimed album 'Nothing is True & Everything is Possible', as well as creating immersive mixes for British band Two Year Break and New Zealand musician Hina.

Murphy discovered NUGEN Audio's Halo Upmix plug-in at the beginning of his Dolby Atmos journey, and never looked back. "It's an essential tool for my Dolby Atmos mixing, and I would be lost without it," he said. "I use it on every single immersive mix. It has such an easy way of making things fit without having to utilise reverbs, delays or other panning techniques. The way it folds down into various formats is really ideal. Everything about it makes my workflow quick and painless. It also sounds fantastic."

In addition to Halo Upmix, Murphy also utilises NUGEN’s Aligner and AB Assist plug-ins. "I often use Aligner when I receive home recordings, especially those with multiple mics and guitar cabinets," he explained. "While it's not something I use on every mix, I immediately deploy Aligner whenever I know something is wrong with the phase. It’s so quick and easy to just correct the problem without interrupting my workflow – Aligner is a great utility tool to have at my disposal."
