MODEL 02 / Presence / Air / Color

HALO AIR

Let the details shine.

HALO AIR plugin interface

More presence. More air. A considered touch of colour for sounds that deserve the spotlight.

HALO AIR combines presence and air shaping with smoothing, harmonic colour and controlled clipping. Width expands the stereo image. Level Match supports comparison, while Peak Guard catches output peaks.

The direct comparison

Same sound.
Different feeling.

A is the original. B is the effect.
You switch. The groove keeps going.

Original, synthesised sound sketches. Rendered with the plugin engine and aligned in time. A/B levels are not individually normalised afterwards; level changes can be part of the effect. The image shows the interface; the demo settings are listed in the player.
