HALO DOWNMIX Nugen Audio has unveiled its latest version of Halo Downmix, which now increases the compatibility of the software. Broadening the plug-in’s channel count support to address less common output formats, Halo Downmix is now capable of downmixing from 7.1 and 5.1 to the following configurations: 7.0, 6.1, 6.0, 5.1, 5.0 and 4.0, plus LCR and stereo. With the optional 3D extension, downmixing from 7.1.2 is also supported.
“These changes allow users to fill in the audio gaps by taking productions from Netflix-compliant 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos formats fully down to lower channel counts,” says Paul Tapper, CEO of Nugen Audio. The implementation of the latest updates makes it possible for production mixers to deliver projects in a wide array of formats while enabling precise surround balancing, mix monitoring and stereo fold-down.
