Metric Halo x Make Believe Studios CGII

Chris Gehringer Signature Mastering Plugin

Make it Good & Loud

Use CGII to make your masters loud without losing the clarity, density and heft of the original mix.

Even if you are working with a mix that is already loud, you can give it a little extra, without adding unpleasant distortion and without flattening out the material and sucking the life out of the low end.

At the same time you can control the true-peak level of the program to ensure that there are no inter-sample overs.

CGII also includes dither, a DC-block filter and complete LUFS/True Peak metering so that you can place it at the end of your master chain as a one-stop shop for final processing.

While CGII's original spec was to make things good & loud simultaneously, you will find that it is wonderful in a variety places in your mixing and processing chain.

Use the Loudness processor to excite harmonics.

Use the Density processor to bring up the bloom and raise low-level clarity without affecting transients, or simply put the incredibly transparent true-peak lookahead limit any place you need it.

Features

  • User-Selectable Over-sampling (up to 16x)
  • World-class Signal Processing and Workflow
  • Density process effectively increases perceived program level by pushing up previously masked detail without affecting higher level peak dynamics.
  • Loudness process gives you transparent increase in RMS level while maintaining peak levels below full-scale
  • True Peak Limiter transparently controls output levels, ensuring that the true-peak level never exceeds the specified ceiling
  • DC-block filter removes any residual DC offset
  • Dither allows you to dither the output to 16 through 24-bits
  • Nixie Tubes provide dB readout of any of the user-selectable meter values (LUFS Integrated, LUFS Short Term (or Hold), LUFS Momentary (or Hold), True Peak or TP Hold)

The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.

iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration

iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home

iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.

iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.

iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).
