Halo Upmix is a stereo to 5.1, 7.1 and 3D upmixer. From naturally extracted and expanded soundscapes to full cinematic big-stage enhancement, Halo Upmix delivers control to fine-tune a surround mix. The Halo Upmix algorithms aim to produce a spatial upmix that preserves the character of the original audio without adding artificial reverb, chorus or delay, according to the company. The 3D extension adds 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos bed-tracks and 7.1.4 Aura 3D compatibility, along with Ambisonic outputs.
Halo Downmix enables surround balancing, mix monitoring and stereo fold-down. The implementation of the latest updates makes it possible for production mixers to deliver projects in a wide array of formats. Halo Downmix is capable of downmixing from 7.1 and 5.1 to configurations from 7.0 to stereo. With the 3D extension, downmixing from 7.1.2 is also supported.
The Nugen Audio Halo Suite will be available for $899.
