Metric Halo has announced the immediate availability of version 2 of Production Bundle plug-ins, providing VST versions of its plug-ins for both Mac and Windows, in addition to the previously supported Pro Tools AAX on Mac and Windows, and Audio Units on Mac.
All of the plug-ins support 32-bit and 64-bit hosts on all platforms, and v2 supports both computer-based licensing and optional iLok dongle-based licensing.
Production Bundle v.2 includes the popular ChannelStrip plug-in, as well as TransientControl, Character, HaloVerb, Multiband Dynamics, Multiband Expander, and Precision DeEsser plug-ins.
New is the Dirty Delay plug-in, a visceral, gritty musical feedback delay processor with integrated Character and filters in the delay path. It can be used to create vintage echo and tape-delay style sounds as well as lush and subtle spaces in a mix.
Multiband Dynamics and Multiband Expander plug-ins add comprehensive band linking controls to allow users to adjust the overall processing as easily as they can adjust the per-band processing. Character is a subtle plug-in processor that adds the essential character of a wide variety of analog devices to the signal. With auto-drive enabled, Character is transformed into an effects processor that can add grit and color to tracks, regardless of the input level.
TransientControl plug-in adds selectable auto-sensitivity, making it a much more versatile transient processor and easier to use. With auto-sensitivity, regardless of the signal level, TransientControl can pull out transients and modify the sustain and tail of sounds.
The license for all Metric Halo plug-ins covers the Native and DSP accelerated versions on Pro Tools AAX and Native versions for VST and AU on both Mac and Windows. The plug-ins are each available individually or as part of the Production Bundle.
