Nugen Halo Upmix and Focus Elements Bundle - Electronic Delivery

Product Description

The Nugen Halo Upmix and Focus Elements Bundle combines one of the industry’s most trusted surround upmixers with a set of fast, streamlined stereo-imaging tools, covering both immersive post-production and everyday mix work. Halo Upmix turns stereo or multichannel sources into natural, coherent surround mixes up to 7.1 without artificial reverb, chorus, or delay, so the original character of the audio stays intact. Its center channel management includes neural network dialog extraction, and an Exact downmix mode with in-place audition makes sure the upmix folds back down faithfully to the original. A spatial analysis display shows the energy distribution across the surround field in real time. Together these make Halo a dependable choice for TV, archive restoration, and full cinematic releases. The Focus Elements trio adds simplified versions of Nugen’s acclaimed Focus plug-ins: Stereoizer Elements for widening and creating stereo from mono, Monofilter Elements for tight, mono-compatible bass, and Stereoplacer Elements for placing specific frequency ranges within the stereo field. All three use the same core technology as the full versions in a quicker, more streamlined interface.

UPMIX - FULL CONTROL, INTUITIVE EASE

From naturally extracted and expanded soundscapes to full cinematic big-stage enhancement, Halo Upmix delivers all the control you need to fine-tune your surround mix to perfection. With unique centre channel management, including switchable dialog extraction, Halo Upmix is perfect for all types of production from archive restoration and TV through to the full 7.1 feature film experience. An optional 3D extension adds Dolby Atmos bed track (7.1.2) and Auro 3D (7.1.4) compatibility, and Ambisonic outputs. The Halo Upmix algorithms produce a natural, coherent spatial upmix, preserving the character of the original audio without adding any artificial reverb, chorus or delays. With the 'Exact' control engaged, Halo Upmix can be used with confidence that the original source integrity is precisely preserved in the downmix.

FOCUS ELEMENTS - STREAMLINED AND ACCESSIBLE

The Focus Elements bundle consists of streamlined versions of Nugen's Focus plug-ins - Stereoizer, Monofilter and Stereoplacer. The Elements plug-ins use the same powerful technology under the hood, in a simplified package. Stereoizer Elements gives you all three of Stereoizer’s stereo width algorithms through a single control, so you can add polish and spatial balance, turn mono sources into stereo, or push a sound super wide without losing mono compatibility. Monofilter Elements sums low frequencies to mono and sharpens, tightens, and defines the bass, anchoring the low end for louder playback and safe vinyl mastering while keeping the track’s original character. Stereoplacer Elements lets you move specific frequency ranges within the stereo field without disturbing the rest of the image. You can use it to rebuild stereo from mono, correct poor stereo mic placement, restore archive recordings, or clean up samples taken from old records. Together they offer quick, reliable control over width, low end, and placement for music and post-production work, in AAX, AU, VST3, and AudioSuite formats for macOS and Windows.
