Metric Halo Make Believe Howies 179 v4.1.17 WiN

Masterdisk. Bob Ludwig. Howie Weinberg.
A common thread through thousands of of masters and hundreds of Grammy Nominations and wins is the sonic imprint of the NTP 179-120. This compressor/limiter has a mythical reputation, and is basically unobtainable in modern times. Until now.

Introducing Howie's 179
We worked with legendary mastering engineer Howie Weinberg to capture the essence and nuance of his personal 179-120s.

From the details of the dynamics processing to the boxtone and distortion characteristics of his specific units, Howie's 179 is a loving recreation of Howie's pair of NTP 179-120 compressor/limiters.

Based on his 40+ year mastering career working on the biggest albums across all genres, Howie has zeroed in on the range of settings that are the key to getting the most out of this legendary processor.

The Howie's 179 plugin provides a streamlined UI that takes that experience into account, while also adding the required controls to make it easy to utilize the compressor/limiter in the box rather than in an analog loop; add in recallability and not being limited to a stereo pair, and Howie's 179 opens a new world of possibilities for you!
