iZotope在国内最为人熟知的是旗下的iZotope Ozone, Nectar，近日在其官网上宣布收购Imagine Research智能音频分析公司。预示未来iZotope的音频处理效果器会更加智能。

Imagine Research是一家位于旧金山的智能音频分析公司。他们开发的MediaMined是一个基于云端的声音相似性和声音素材识别引擎，可由机器学习来驱动。MediaMined也有帮助Skywalker Sound、Pandora、Line 6和JamLegend（已经被Zynga收购）开发产品，同时他们还两次获得了美国国家科学基金会小企业创新大奖。

Based in San Francisco, Imagine Research developed MediaMined™, a cloud-based sound similarity and sound-object recognition engine powered by machine learning. The development team has applied their expertise to a range of leading media companies like Skywalker Sound, Pandora, Line 6 and JamLegend (acquired by Zynga). A winner of two National Science Foundation Small Business Innovation Awards, Imagine Research has demonstrated both technical and commercial merit.

“The Imagine Research team brings a wealth of technology and experience around intelligent audio analysis, cloud computing, and machine learning,” explains iZotope CEO and co-founder, Mark Ethier, “We’re excited to support the development of MediaMined, and to bring Imagine Research technology into the rest of the iZotope product lines.”

“Given iZotope’s infrastructure and ten years of experience developing, marketing, distributing and supporting products worldwide, joining iZotope is a natural fit for Imagine Research,” says Jay LeBoeuf, founder and CEO of Imagine Research, “iZotope is ideally positioned to help us bring this technology to millions of end-users, and to expand our innovative technology into exciting applications and new markets.”
