Metric Halo Audio Production Plug-In Bundle (v4)

A critical tool for getting radio-ready, chart-topping sound quickly, the Metric Halo ChannelStrip v4 provides the essential, basic channel processing found in the channel strip of a modern mixing console in an all-in-one plug-in with an easy-to-use interface. Processors include a gate/expander, compressor/limiter, and fully parametric interpolated 6-band EQ.

Precisely sculpt your sound with flexible EQ/compressor routing controls, integrated side-chain EQ for dynamics, phase invert, channel delay, and more. Comprehensive metering and built-in SpectraFoo spectrum analysis lets you see your audio as you're hearing it. To get you started quickly, ChannelStrip v4 comes with 250+ presets.

A modernized version of the original Sonic EQ this, Metric Halo Sonic EQ v4 plug-in is a 6-band fully parametric equalizer in which every band in the EQ supports 2nd to 8th order filters using an updated, low-noise 64-bit state-space EQ structure with the core Sonic EQ coefficients. With an updated size-adjustable user interface and scalable gain reduction meters, enjoy the performance of this software version of the hardware original. Sonic WQ v4 also includes SpectraFoo spectrum analysis and level metering. The Metric Halo preset manager provides cross-platform presets.

Metric Halo SuperGate v4 is a noise-gate plug-in designed to eliminate unwanted background noise from your audio recordings. Unlike traditional noise gates, SuperGate v4 offers a high degree of customization to achieve natural-sounding results.

With SuperGate v4, you can define precisely how the gate opens and closes around your desired audio. It visually shows you the noise reduction process and allows you to tailor the attack and release curves for a smooth and transparent effect. This makes SuperGate v4 ideal for cleaning up drum tracks, dialogue recordings, and any situation where you want to isolate a specific sound.

Metric Halo Dirty Delay v4 is a versatile feedback delay plug-in capable of producing a wide range of sonic textures and movements for your music productions. Featuring dual delay lines with crossfeed, feedback, phase invert, and distortion, it offers exceptional control over delay characteristics—from clean or dirty, to vintage or futuristic, subtle or nasty. With Metric Halo Character v4 in the delay paths, you can integrate the rich harmonic saturation of classic analog circuitry, adding texture and saturation for subtle coloration or aggressive distortion of the delayed signal. Additionally, the plug-in supports tempo syncing to host, manual input, or tap tempo for precise delay timing. And with a 2-band parametric filter for shaping the delayed sound, Dirty Delay provides comprehensive tools for sculpting delay effects to fit any mix in the studio or live onstage.

The user-friendly interface with adjustable size options for various screen resolutions is designed to be intuitive, providing clear visual feedback and easy access to all parameters. Whether used to add depth and dimension to a mix or to create wild experimental sounds, the Metric Halo Dirty Delay plug-in is a powerful tool for any audio engineer or producer looking to enhance their sonic palette with a touch of analog-style dirtiness.

The Metric Halo Character v4 is a plug-in that empowers audio professionals to seamlessly integrate the rich harmonic saturation of classic analog circuitry into their digital workflows. Character v4 meticulously emulates 24 distinct models, capturing the sonic essence of revered tube, transformers, and solid-state devices. Featuring a manual Drive control (with an Autodrive mode), this versatile tool grants producers and engineers the ability to subtly introduce pleasing tube warmth or unleash aggressive solid-state grit, perfectly tailoring the distortion character to their creative vision.

Create your perfect space with Metric Halo HaloVerb v4 Reverb, a plug-in that expands on previous generations, now with even greater flexibility and control. Use HaloVerb to add anything from subtle ambience to the lush depth of a vintage echo chamber. The reverb impulse display lets you visualize the reverberant field in real time, or you can hide the visuals and focus entirely on tuning by ear. With an extensive preset library and an intuitive user interface, achieving your ideal sound has never been easier or faster.

Equipped with three independent compressors that handle separate frequency zones, the Metric Halo Multiband Dynamics plug-in offers an ultraflexible approach to leveling and tone enhancement on individual tracks, stems, and full mixes. Perfect for recording/mixing engineers and music producers who need control capabilities beyond traditional compression, Multiband Dynamics Compressor can be tuned, focused, and even automated to impart professional clarity, impact, and loudness. This is version 4, which adds support for VST3 on both macOS and Windows platforms.

Each band offers tweakable threshold, ratio, knee, gain, attack, and release settings, as well as buttons for solo and mute functions. Each band features selectable auto gain for hassle-free level matching on a per-band basis. Crossover points may be customized, and bands can be linked or even disabled when not needed. Built-in SpectraFoo spectrum analysis provides an accurate real-time display of the plug-in's effect on your signal. Additionally, Multiband Dynamics has per-band gain-reduction meters and an adjustable UI size.

This Metric Halo Multiband Expander plug-in features SpectraFoo spectral analysis to allow you to zero-in on crossover points and thresholds quickly and with confidence. The Multiband feature of the expander is extremely useful for controlling noise and hum in guitar tracks, as you can attack the noise more aggressively than the desired signal.

Enhance the attacks of fingerpicked guitars, mute the attack of strumming, control the snap of a snare without affecting the ring, or change the feel of a percussion pattern with Metric Halo TransientControl v4, a plug-in processor that allows you to modify dynamics in ways that just aren't possible with traditional compressors.

TransientControl uses envelope detectors to separate what is transient (attack) and what is sustain, enabling you to manipulate them independently to boost or cut the desired section of audio. The plug-in operates in real time without latency, ideal for mixing and live-sound applications.

Tame sibilance in vocal tracks and other audio sources with the Metric Halo Precision De-Esser v4 Plug-In, and achieve a polished, professional sound quickly and efficiently. Featuring a high-precision linear-phase filter block and an Ess-compressor, the plug-in allows you to target specific frequencies and surgically remove excessive high-frequency content without sacrificing overall tone quality.

Comprehensive listening controls enable you to hear exactly what is (or isn't) being removed—choose five different points in the processing chain to monitor. Built-in SpectraFoo analysis lets you visualize the frequency spectrum for easy adjustments, while the scalable gain-reduction meter assists you with monitoring the level of gain reduction. With all parameters being fully automatable, Precision De-Esser seamlessly integrates with your DAW's automation system, giving you full control over the processing during mixdown.
