Find unparalleled precision and control in surround sound upmixing with the Halo Upmix Stereo to Surround Upmixer Plug-In with 9.1 Extension. This advanced electronic download is the professional's choice for transforming stereo audio into a rich, multi-dimensional surround sound experience. Nugen Audio's innovative technology ensures that your upmixing process is both high-quality and user-friendly, making it ideal for a wide range of audio production needs.
The Halo Upmix plug-in excels in naturally extracting and expanding soundscapes, offering full cinematic big-stage enhancement without compromising the original audio's character. With its unique center channel management, including switchable dialogue extraction, this plug-in is perfect for diverse production types, from archive restoration and television to the full 7.1 feature film experience.
Experience highly downmix-compatible results, ensuring that your surround mix translates perfectly to stereo. The 'exact' mode function guarantees the integrity of the relationship between the original, upmixed, and downmixed versions, which is critical for TV repurposing and other applications.
Craft an immersive cinematic dynamic with full control over relative surround balances, seamlessly blending any upmix into a complete 7.1 panorama. The detailed center channel control, accessible through an 'advanced' panel, provides unparalleled precision, especially when original stems are not available. The neural network-based dialogue extraction further refines the clarity and focus of your mix.
Halo Upmix also features a powerful spatial analysis view, offering intuitive visual feedback on the energy distribution of the upmixed panorama. The color-coding indicates the speaker source for audio in any position, allowing for clear differentiation between phantom and hard center predominance.
The 9.1 extension adds vertical controls and an additional real-time analysis view for the vertical dimension, compatible with 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos bed track upmixing. This extension enhances the plug-in's versatility, making it suitable for sound design, film score, restoration, music, and atmospheric soundscape production.
Halo Upmix supports a variety of formats, including Avid Protools (AAX) and Steinberg Nuendo (VST3), and is compatible with both Windows and OSX. It caters to multiple applications, such as stem and group upmixing, cinematic sound stage enhancement, stereo to surround upmixing with a hard center, cinematic release repurposing, TV archive enhancement for 5.1 broadcast, and natural extension of original stereo panoramas.
Available in VST, AU, and AAX formats, Halo Upmix requires a surround-compatible plug-in host and supports a comprehensive range of upmix configurations, from stereo to 5.1, 7.1, and the 9.1 extension. With its coherent spatial upmix, exact downmix mode, and powerful spatial analysis, Halo Upmix is the definitive tool for audio professionals seeking to elevate their surround sound productions.
