Penteo's ease-of-use makes upmixing Stereo sources into 5.1 Surround so intuitive and I love the fact that every track downmixes perfectly.

I upmixed Stereo to 5.1 for Netflix’s film Paradise. Penteo’s sound quality is excellent & clearly presents the mix balance. Penteo eliminates time-consuming processes leaving me more time to full concentrate on my musical creativity.
