Metric Halo is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the VST-based versions of all Metric Halo plug-ins. These plug-ins are supported on both Windows and Mac OSX. In addition to VST, the plug-ins also support Pro Tools AAX on Mac and Windows, and Audio Units on Mac. All of the plug-ins run in both 32-bit and 64-bit hosts on all platforms.

The plug-ins provide a comprehensive set of tools offering Metric Halo’s signature sound quality at a compelling price. The full production bundle includes eight plug-ins, that provide engineers, producers, musicians and sound designers with the tools they need to create world-class mixes and productions. Starting with the world-renowned ChannelStrip, the production bundle adds TransientControl, Character, HaloVerb, Dirty Delay, Multiband Dynamics, Multiband Expander, and the Precision DeEsser.

Metric Halo ChannelStrip has been the choice of #1 hit makers and Grammy Award-winning engineers for well over a decade. But it has never been available on the Windows platform until now. Now engineers and musicians who have chosen Windows-based production platforms will no longer be deprived of the glory of ChannelStrip and the Production Bundle.

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. Users can choose computer-based licensing or optional iLok dongle-based licensing.

All the plug-ins include Metric Halo’s cross-platform preset manager, which allows users to create and share presets between plug-in and computer platforms. For example, an engineer can create a preset in Pro Tools and then use it in Nuendo.
