<p>Halo 9.1 upmix extension currently supports Avid Protools (AAX) & Steinberg Nuendo (VST3) for Windows and OSX.</p><h2>Halo Upmix Includes</h2><h2>Natural Extension</h2>
<p>Powerful real-time analysis of the original stereo material 
identifies and extracts locational cues, to naturally extend the 
panorama - without the introduction of any artificial reverberation, 
chorusing or delay into the downmix - leaving the inherent character of 
the original source intact.</p>
<h2>Downmix Compatibility</h2>
<p>Because Halo generates a coherent spatial sound, you can be assured 
of a high-quality downmix. The 'exact' mode function ensures ultimate 
downmix performance where, as in TV re-purposing for instance, 
maintaining the relationship between the original, upmixed and downmixed
 versions is imperative.</p>
<h2>Big sound</h2>
<p>For those situations that require an immersive cinematic dynamic, 
full control is available of all the relative surround balances, 
allowing any surround upmix to be crafted for a perfect blend into the 
complete 7.1 panorama.</p>
<h2>Detailed Centre Channel Control</h2>
<p>Centre channel extraction and control is provided for in a separate 
'advanced' panel for use when dealing with intricate mixes, where no 
access to the original stems is available, offering unparalleled control
 - including neural network based dialogue extraction.</p>
<h2>Powerful Spatial Analysis</h2>
<p>Halo also includes a powerful spatial analysis view, intuitively 
showing the energy distribution of the upmixed panorama. Colour can 
additionally be used to indicate the speaker source for audio in any 
position, clearly indicating cases including phantom vs hard centre 
predominance etc.</p><h2>Halo Downmix Includes</h2><h2>Expert Surround-to-Stereo </h2>Halo Downmix provides a highly creative solution for precise 
downmixing of feature-film or 5.1 mixes to stereo. Intuitive, visual 
controls for relative levels,
timing, and direct vs. ambient sound balance allow uprecedented 
fine-tuning,
delivering accurate downmixes that are no longer limited by typical 
in-the-box
coefficients-based processes.
<p>A standard downmix is usually generated by simply mixing together the
 surround output according to standard downmix coefficients, however, 
this can often lead to unsatisfactory results, particularly if legacy 
upmix practices have been used to generate the original surround mix. 
Halo Downmix can be quickly employed to mitigate these issues eg. 
controlling excessive diffuse sound from added artificial reverberation,
 or removal of delay artefacts introduced in the rear channels.</p>
<p>Halo Downmix can be quickly deployed to produce a more controlled, coherent stereo mix.</p>
<p>Typical applications include:</p>
<p>• Stereo Mix production for Television within a Surround workflow.<br />
• Rapidly producing a controlled, precise stereo downmix of a 7.1 feature film.<br />
• Generating a stereo mix from surround where no stereo recording exists.<br />
• Producing stereo interim listening mixes in a surround workflow. </p>
<h2>
Fine Tune Existing Surround material
</h2>
<p>Adjust existing 5.1 or 7.1 mixes in surround-to-surround mode. Levels
 of individual channels, and balance of direct vs. diffuse sound can be 
adjusted to
fine tune or re-balance existing surround audio where access to the 
original
mix is not possible. </p>
<h2>
Parallel Surround/Stereo Downmix workflow
</h2>
<p>Halo Downmix can also be used in conjunction with the included Receive plug-in to enable a parallel surround/stereo workflow.</p>
<p>This workflow allows for rapid A/B listening checks between surround and stereo downmix.</p>
<p>Applications include:</p>
<p>
• Optimising a surround mix for better stereo downmix (standard coefficients)<br />
• Harmonising surround and stereo experiences, delivering a separate downmix<br />
• Harmonising surround and stereo to produce a modified surround mix and stereo downmix</p><h2>NUGEN Audio creates innovative, intuitive
