Metric Halo – Make Believe Howies 179 v.4.1.17 VST, VST3, AAX x64
Introducing the 179 from Howie
We worked with legendary mastering engineer Howie Weinberg to capture the essence and nuances of his personal 179-120.
From its dynamic handling to its tone and distortion characteristics, the Howie’s 179 is a dead ringer for the NTP 179-120 compressor/limiter pair.
With over 40 years of mastering major albums across all genres, Howie has developed a set of settings that maximize the effectiveness of this legendary processor.
Howie’s 179 features a streamlined user interface that takes this experience into account, along with essential controls that allow you to use the compressor/limiter as is, rather than in an analog loop. Add reusability and no stereo pairing restrictions, and Howie’s 179 opens up a world of possibilities!
