Nugen Audio has announced new Halo Suite for immersive mixing projects, which includes the Halo Vision audio analysis tool, Halo Upmix and Halo Downmix, along with the corresponding 7.1.2 3D extensions.
‘The Nugen Audio Halo Suite combines several of our beloved leading plug-ins in one comprehensive package that’s perfect for immersive audio workflows,’ says Product Specialist, Freddy Vinehill-Cliffe. ‘We look forward to unveiling it at the 2024 NAB Show and presenting its incredible benefits to attendees.’
Designed for 3D, surround and immersive audio workflows, Halo Vision is a customisable, real-time visual analysis tool operating in up to 7.1.2 channels for the AAX, VST3 and AU formats. It features a variety of modules that provide a clear understanding of every aspect of a project’s sound, allowing precise decision-making and troubleshooting. Halo Vision can be customised, re-arranged and resized to suit any specific workflow for a wide spectrum of immersive sound projects, from film to music.
Halo Upmix is a stereo to 5.1, 7.1 and 3D upmixer that offers full control and intuitive management of audio spanning naturally extracted and expanded soundscapes to full cinematic big-stage enhancement. The Halo Upmix algorithms reckon to deliver ‘a natural, coherent spatial upmix that preserves the character of the original audio’ without adding artificial reverb, chorus or delay. 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 precise 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, with ease and without compromise. The software allows for flexibility and collaboration across a broad spectrum of project types, channel counts and output 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 US$899 – a US$498 saving over the individual tools. Each plug-in can still be purchased individually, and current users can upgrade to the bundle at a reduced rate.
