Metric Halo releases Version 2 of Production Bundle plug-ins – adds VST and Windows Support and new plug-in: Dirty Delay

Metric Halo has announced the immediate availability of version 2 of its Production Bundle, which now consists of eight plug-ins, including the new Dirty Delay:

• ChannelStrip
• Character
• Dirty Delay
• HaloVerb
• Multiband Dynamics
• Multiband Expander
• Precision DeEsser
• TransientControl

New Plug-in
MH Dirty Delay is a visceral, gritty, musical feedback delay processor with integrated Character and filters in the delay path. It can create vintage echo and tape-delay style sounds as well as lush and subtle spaces in a mix.

New Platform Support
With this release, Metric Halo is providing VST versions of the plug-ins for both Mac OS X 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. v.2 supports both computer-based licensing and optional iLok dongle-based licensing.

New Features
In v.2, Multiband Dynamics and Expander add comprehensive band linking controls to allow the user to adjust the overall processing as easily as they can adjust the per-band processing. Character adds selectable Auto-Drive to the processing. Character is a subtle 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. Finally, TransientControl 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.

One License, All Formats
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 OS X and Windows. The plug-ins are each available individually or as part of the Production Bundle.
