  The parameters have not changed all that much though they do not
necessarily work exactly the same. I personally believe it is easier
to just forget what you know about the halo feature and learn the
media feature from the start. That way you won't have any preconceived
notions about how it should work and become disappointed when it doesn't
do what you think it should.

Here are a couple of links to mini tutorials on the new media feature:
