Nugen Audio Halo Upmix
Inneholder Stereo to 5.1 / 7.1 Upmix. Kan utvides med 9.1 som selges separat
From naturally extracted and expanded soundscapes to full cinematic
big-stage enhancement, Halo upmix delivers with intuitive ease, all the
control you need to fine-tune your surround mix to perfection. With
unique centre channel management, including switchable dialog
extraction, Halo is perfect for all types of production from archive
restoration and TV through to the full 7.1 Feature Film experience.
Natural Extension
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.
Downmix Compatibility
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.
Big sound
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.
Detailed Centre Channel Control
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.
Powerful Spatial Analysis
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.
