Expert surround-to-stereo
Using standard downmix coefficients can sometimes lead to unsatisfactory results, particularly if legacy upmixing practices were used for the original surround mix. Halo Downmix quickly mitigates these issues and produces a more coherent stereo mix, controlling excessive diffuse sound from artificial reverb, and removing delay artifacts from the rear channels.
Fine-tune surround-to-surround
Adjust existing 5.1 or 7.1 mixes in surround-to-surround mode. Individual channels and the balance between direct/diffuse sound can be adjusted to fine-tune or re-balance surround audio where access to the original mix is not possible.

Available formats
Supports 64bit AAX , VST3, AU and AAX AudioSuite. Halo Downmix requires a surround-compatible plug-in host (5.1/7.1) such as Pro Tools HD.
NUGEN Audio is in the process of phasing out some older plug-in formats. Ours most recently updated products no longer support RTAS or VST2. Customers who still wish to use RTAS or VST2 can download a legacy installer from the Build Archive.
