The Halo Suite includes a collection of powerful tools designed for immersive and surround workflows: Halo Vision, Halo Upmix, Halo Downmix, and their 3D extensions. These industry-standard plug-ins are optimized for use in modern 3D audio production environments such as Dolby Atmos, ensuring that you can create, refine, and analyze immersive audio with precision and clarity.
Halo Upmix offers an advanced upmixing solution that preserves the character and integrity of the original mix. By analyzing the audio signal in real time, Halo Upmix identifies locational cues and extends the panorama naturally, creating a coherent spatial sound. Its neural network-powered dialog recognition ensures speech remains centered and clear. The ‘Exact’ function guarantees that downmixes created later will maintain the original balance, perfect for those working in multi-format productions. The 3D extension adds support for advanced formats like 5.1.4, 7.1.2, and 7.1.4, as well as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order Ambisonics.
Halo Downmix is a precise tool for downmixing, surround balancing, and fine-tuning. It allows you to improve the downmix compatibility of both current and archived projects. The customizable interface provides both advanced and compact modes for flexibility, while the 3D extension adds support for more complex formats like 7.1.4 and 5.1.4.
Halo Vision features seven customizable modules for real-time visual analysis of surround and 3D immersive audio. It helps pinpoint problematic areas in the mix, offering clear insight into phase correlation, frequency content, and spatial location. Particularly useful in challenging environments or when dealing with ear fatigue, Halo Vision ensures you don’t miss critical issues that could affect your final product. Based on extensive user feedback, its intuitive design minimizes on-screen clutter while providing the detailed analysis audio professionals need.
