<h2>NUGEN Audio Halo Downmix With 3D Immersive Extension</h2>
<span style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic;">Precision downmix and surround re-balancing from 5.1, 7.1 or Dolby Atmos.</span> <br /><br />

Halo Downmix completes your surround toolset enabling precise surround balancing, mix monitoring and sophisticated stereo fold-down. The glue that brings your workflow together, allowing you to deliver in surround and stereo with ease and without compromise.<br /><br />

Produce better downmixes and enhance the downmix compatibility of your surround mixes. 5.1, 7.1, advanced and compact interfaces perfectly designed for the task in hand, maximising screen real estate. Multiple monitoring modes, quick mute and solo controls promote rapid assessment and critical listening tests. Halo Downmix is the ideal complement to any surround workflow.<br /><br />


The
 3D Immersive Extension introduces additional vertical controls via an 
expanded user interface including control over Ltm and Rtm placement for
 Dolby Atmos compatible placement. An additional real-time analysis view
 is also included for the vertical dimension, showing energy 
distribution of the output audio.
<br /><br />
The
 enhanced upmix algorithm allows for simultaneous use of all the 
original features including dialog isolation and individual channel 
output control.
<br /><br />
The
 Halo 3D option is suitable for numerous applications including sound 
design, film score, restoration & archive, music and atmospheric 
soundscape production.
	<br /><br />
The Halo Upmix 3D Immersive Extension currently supports Avid Protools (AAX) & Steinberg Nuendo (VST3) for Windows and OSX.

<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
