The NuGen Audio Halo Upmix – Stereo to Surround Upmixer Plug-In with 3D Immersive Extension is designed to create upmixes of stereo material to a 5.1, 7.1, or 3D surround mix, while preserving the inherent character of the original audio source. It provides audio post-production engineers with the controls necessary to generate panoramic extensions of stereo TV mixes, rapidly deliver a 7.1 cinematic experience, upmix stems / full mixes to 1st-order Ambisonic (AmbiX format) for VR applications, and bed tracks that are compatible with Dolby Atmos 7.1.2.

Halo Upmix’s real-time analysis of the original stereo material identifies and extracts locational cues that enable the software to extend the panorama without introducing artificial reverberation, chorusing, or delay. The Exact mode helps generate a coherent spatial sound, which maintains the relationship between the original, upmixed, and downmixed versions. The Advanced panel offers powerful tools for working with intricate mixes where access to the original stems is unavailable. It also provides neural-network-based dialogue extraction.

Ideal for sound design, games, and other immersive applications, the included 3D Immersive Extension provides 1st-order Ambisonic output to upmix, re-purpose, or convert channel-based audio for an Ambisonic workflow.
