NUGEN Audio today announced that Creative Audio Post, a renowned audio and video post-production studio based in New York City, has adopted NUGEN Audio s Halo Upmix to provide automated upmixing of stereo audio to 5.1/7.1 sound for a wide variety of film and television projects. Creative Audio Post first applied Halo Upmix on "Paradise is There, a just-completed film project for recording artist Natalie Merchant, to create a seamless and high-quality audio soundtrack that is equally enjoyable in both stereo and surround sound.
Creative Audio Post was founded in 2002 by Emmy(R) Award-winning Sound Engineer Jacques Boulanger, who today serves as the company s CEO, sound designer, and re-recording mixer. Over the years, Creative Audio Post has worked with Merchant on numerous projects in collaboration with acclaimed filmmaker Jon Bowermaster. The latest, "Paradise is There, is a memoir of Merchant s career coinciding with the 20th anniversary of her groundbreaking album, "Tigerlily, and her new music release, "Paradise is There: The New Tigerlily Recordings."
"Mixing Paradise is There was challenging because it included source audio in both 5.1 surround and stereo. We wanted to bring as many surround elements into the mix as possible, a job that required advanced upmixing capabilities, said Boulanger. "Other upmixing plug-ins we ve worked with have not lived up to our expectations, but Halo Upmix offered a powerful solution. It offers capabilities that simply aren t found in other plug-ins such as the ability to produce full stable surrounds with precise downmix matching."
For "Paradise is There, an especially valuable feature of Halo Upmix was its elegant center channel management, which uses proprietary neural network-based dialogue extraction to fine-tune the center in a surround mix. While the center track for film and television is typically reserved to anchor dialogue and narration, Halo Upmix enabled Boulanger to divert that content to the left and right speakers when needed and create, in effect, a "virtual center. Another important feature was the plug-in s ability to divert some audio to the back speakers for an organic and natural sound.
"Creative Audio Post is one of the most respected audio post-production facilities in New York City, with an Emmy-winning team dedicated to delivering inspired and unique productions, said Jon Schorah, creative director, NUGEN Audio. "We re pleased that Halo Upmix has become an important link in the facility s strategy to ensure that every sound element contributes to a production s overall emotional soundscape."
