In this month's issue of legendary Mix magazine, Barry Rudolph reviews NOVA after installing it and acquiring it for his own studio.
Some highlights
Listening using Trinnov’s optimization is a revelation. Immediately, I hear more detail, with good balances and insufficient balances noticeably distinct at my listening position. My mixes are now smoother in the low- to mid-range and bass. Doing A/Bs of my curated reference tracks—some of my mixes and some from others— was quite an enlightening experience!
The overall subsonic energy now lies within the mix rather than leaping out or disappearing on specific notes. Loose-sounding tubbiness in those frequencies is decreased; the midrange is tighter and more focused, with vocals and guitars clearly defined in their panned positions.
Stereo reverbs, delays, and room ambiences can be heard more accurately, not necessarily louder, just clearer. These effects, as mixed, are better framed around the center-panned instruments and vocals. The improvement is not subtle. I’ve now heard how much it improves the sound and accuracy of my mix room. I must have one!
