NuGen Audio Halo Suite Software Bundle Overview
Halo Suite Software Bundle includes three plug-ins and 3D expander modules. Supporting AAX, VSTS3, AU, and Audio Suite in 64-bit, these plug-ins are compatible with macOS 10.9 and Windows 7. Halo Vision is a suite of customizable real-time visual analysis tools. Halo Downmix is a precise downmixing tool, helping you enhance the downmix compatibility of your surround sound mixes. Halo Upmix helps you extract and expand simple soundscapes to full cinematic experiences.
NuGen Audio Halo Upmix Stereo to Surround Upmixer Plug-In with 3D Immersive Extension (Download)
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.

NuGen Audio Halo Vision Surround Audio Analysis Plug-In
Halovision from NuGen Audio provides a comprehensive analysis for 3D and immersive audio. Customize this real-time visual analysis suite of modules to help you understand every aspect of your audio. This suite of modules is Windows and macOS compatible and works with DAWs that support AAX, AU, and VST3 64-bit plug-ins .
Typical Appliations
- Surround and immersive mix analysis up to 7.1.4
- Checking phase correlation
- Visualising spatial information
- Ensuring mixes translate to different channel layouts
- Mixing in unfamiliar or badly treated rooms
Configurable Displays
- Correlation Matrix
- Correlation Web
- Frequency Haze
- Location Haze
- Spectrum
- True Peak
- Timecode
Correlation Matrix
Displays colour-coded phase relationships between every channel, with a larger arched meter for more detailed analysis, and anticorrelation alerts at a user-defined threshold
Correlation Web
Shows a network of channels with an interconnecting line between each pair. When the phase relationship between two channels becomes anticorrelated, the corresponding line lights up
Contextual Correlation
Standard calculations used by other correlation meters are normalised in such a way that two signals might appear to be highly anticorrelated, even if one signal is so much louder or quieter than the other that mixing them together will not cause phase cancellation. Contextual Correlation compensates for these level differences, only highlighting correlation issues which are likely to cause a problem
