Immersion, redefined.
Open a stereo source — most often music — into a full immersive image, up to 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos. A creative tool for shaping width, depth and height inside your immersive mix, with a bit-exact fold-down that always keeps your stereo intact.

(Windows coming soon) Open up your stereo.
Take a stereo source — most often music — into a full immersive image. AXIS extends what's already there instead of adding anything artificial: natural width, real height, and precise control over how the sound sits in the room. Your stereo is never lost — it's always one clean fold-down away.
Open it up, your way
- ✓ Open a stereo source — music, stems, a full mix — up to 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos.
- ✓ Natural, open sound with real width and height — never processed or artificial.
- ✓ Full control of the image: five engines, from subtle to fully cinematic.
Your stereo, always intact
- ✓ Fold your immersive mix back to stereo and get your original — exactly as it was.
- ✓ Experiment without fear: push the immersive image as far as you like, the stereo never drifts.
- ✓ Hit NULL to verify in real time.
Silence is the proof of a perfect downmix.
One plugin. Five characters.
From clean broadcast-safe upmix to cinematic full-height immersion. Pick the engine that fits the job.
The simplest upmix. Your stereo opens up transparently, with no creative coloration. Broadcast-safe by default.
Dialogue and leads stay locked in the center. Ambience spreads to the surrounds. Perfect for voice, documentaries, and dialogue-heavy content.
The versatile default. Natural width across every speaker. Works on anything — music, dialogue, atmosphere — without ever sounding processed.
Bigger room, fuller lows, more height. Turns flat stereo into a cinematic scene. Ideal for trailers, scoring cues, and wide ambience.
Maximum creative reach. Front and rear treated independently. Use when the mix stays immersive and stereo fold-down isn't a concern.
From 5.1 to full 9.1.6 Atmos
5.1, 7.1, Dolby Atmos, and everything in between — pick the layout your mix lives in.
See where your mix lives
Two real-time visualisation modes. Pick the one that fits how you work — both are fully customisable and run on a dedicated GPU pipeline.
TRAY
Fleeting rays of light trace every movement across the room. Perfect for spotting transient motion, pans and quick spatial changes.
DROPS
Droplets of energy fall where each sound lives in your field. A dense, beautiful view of every frequency in real time.
Built for Atmos workflows
AXIS can optionally route the bed and the height layer through separate auxiliary stems. When you use it, you can work on a narrower bed, skip heavy post-processing on wide sends, and leave more room for real Atmos objects — all from a single plugin instance. Use it when it helps; ignore it when you don't need it.
Narrower beds
Keep your beds compact — AXIS handles the height layer separately. Less channels to process, more room for objects in your Atmos renderer.
Lighter post-processing
No need to process wide stems through the whole chain. Route only what each stem needs — EQ, limiting, metering — and save CPU.
Simpler sends
One AXIS instance replaces a tangle of send-return buses for beds and height. Cleaner templates, faster sessions.
Built in a real post-production studio
AXIS was born at Blacktone Studio out of a real need: opening stereo material — often music — into immersive, quickly and cleanly, without losing the feel of the original or the stereo underneath it. We needed a tool that was fast, natural, and trustworthy enough to put our name on.
After years of development and daily use on professional post-production sessions, AXIS is now available to everyone. This is the same plugin we use on our own work, every day.
