Throughout December we offered the opportunity for over 30 people to win a prize of your choice from an amazing bundle of prizes that we pulled together from our generous partners, worth around £30,000.
Each day, we took a closer look at each of the prizes in turn. Today we are looking at Nugen Audio Post Bundle Worth $1,499.
The competition closed on December 31st 2019 and we’re pleased to be able to announce the winner is Michael-Johannes Fecke.
I am known as Migo Fecke, musician, producer, mixer at Soundhouse, RFGH Studios, Cologne in Germany. I have been working in pro audio for over 25 years - writing, producing, mixing music and audio.
Areas in which I work are "sonic branding" for national and international companies as well as post-production for TV, Radio Networks and advertising. Most of the time I work with ProTools, I also use Ableton and Logic for music production and occasionally Nuendo for post-production.
I produce in-the-box using the usual plugins and have used LM-Correct from Nugen Audio for years and in our opinion, it is a "must-have" if you have to deliver TV Masters. We are looking forward to being able to use all the other Nugen Audio plugins in the Post Bundle including VisLM and ISL2.
