The Howies179 Compressor/Limiter Plug-In from Make Believe Studios was inspired by legendary producer Howie Weinberg's personal dynamics processing signal chain, a pair of NTP 179-120 that he originally used at Masterdisk in the 1970s.
From the details of the dynamics processing, to the box tone and distortion characteristics of his specific units, Howies179 is a loving recreation, based on his 40+ year mastering career working on some of the most cherished albums ever, across the genre spectrum. Howie has zeroed in on the range of settings that are the key to getting the most out of this legendary processor.
With a streamlined UI that takes that experience into account, while adding the required controls to make it easy to utilize the compressor/limiter in the box—three compression ratios, recallability, and stereo/dual mono mode selection add to the range of features that help you perfectly dial in your output. Make Believe Studios plug-ins are AU, VST 2/3, and AAX compatible for macOS and Windows.
