Halo Downmix with 3D Immersive extension

With the new version, Halo Downmix now enables multi-channel-to-multi-channel downmix, offering new levels of versatility and time-saving in surround audio production.
This product includes the 9.1 Extension.
Available in Avid AAX, VST and UA formats, Halo Downmix automates the creation of a stereo-to-surround compatible upmix upmix with unique center channel management and spatial density controls.
The latest version of the plug-in adds a new set of algorithms for multichannel audio synth (LCR, Quad (4.0), 5.0, 5.1, 7.0 and 7.1), either 5.1, 7.1, or 9.1 (7.1.2). This expanded multichannel support means that Halo Upmix users have an even greater variety of options for mixing, while the update also includes other modifications designed to improve user operability and finesse the interface customization process.
From landscapes Naturally extracted and expanded sounds for full cinematic big stage enhancement, Halo downmix gives you, with intuitive ease, all the control you need to fine-tune your surround mix to perfection. With unique central channel management, including switchable dialog extraction, Halo is perfect for all types of production from file and TV restoration up to 7.1 Feature Full Film experience.
Powerful real-time analysis of original or sound multichannel identifies materials and extracts locational cues to naturally extend the picture - without introducing any artificial reverb, chorusing or upmix delay - leaving the inherent character of the original source intact.
Because Halo generates coherent spatial sound , you can be assured of a high quality mix. The 'exact' mode function ensures final downmix performance where, as in TV re-purposing for example, maintaining the relationship between the original, upmixed and downmixed versions is imperative.
For those situations that demand an immersive cinematic dynamic, control Full is available from all relative surround balances, allowing any immersive upmix to be crafted for a seamless mix to the full 7.1 panorama.
Center channel extraction and control is provided in a separate 'advanced' panel for use when it deals with complex mixtures, where no access to the original rods is available, offering unprecedented control - including neural network-based dialogue extraction.
Halo also includes a powerful spatial view that intuitively shows the energy distribution of the upmixed panorama. Color can also be used to indicate speaker source for audio in any position, clearly indicating cases including ghost vs hard center predominance etc. Product features
