Metric Halo has announced the release of the Metric Halo Production Bundle for Pro Tools 10. The software consists of seven AAX plug-ins compatible with both Native and HDX DSP systems: ChannelStrip 3, Character, Haloverb, Multiband Dynamics, Multiband Expander, Precision DeEsser, and TransientControl. Metric Halo says that this bundle provides the all the tools necessary to sculpt a mix. Four of the plug-ins contain audio analysis tools from SpectraFoo, giving the user visual feedback of the plug-in's processing. Allen Rowand of Metric Halo told Sonic State, "We're thrilled to release the Production Bundle for AAX. We wanted to do more than simply port our existing ChannelStrip plug-in to the AAX format. We wanted to release a suite of software that builds on ChannelStrip's thirteen-year legacy of sonic quality, and gives our customers great signal processing options for Pro Tools 10. We'll have news for users of other DAWs in the near future, so stay tuned."
