Metric Halo Channel Strip

[mesaone]

I just got it for $46 at AudioDeluxe. I was tempted to get UBK-1 instead, but I have decided that I am not going to buy any more plug-ins that are not yet AAX 64-bit.

Has anyone else used it?

I like the Avid channel strip, but this seems like it is comparable (but with more options) and a much nicer interface. I'm a bit miffed that the filter slopes on high-cut and low-cut are only 12 dB/octave and cannot be changed, but nothing stops me from using dedicated HPF and LPF inserts in conjunction with this plug-in. Oh how I wish Cleansweep offered 4-pole filters!

Side by side in a mix, I will take MH 90% of the time. If I am in a tracking situation or where I have to move REALLY fast, I will use the Avid as it is MUCH quicker to get setup and going. I think it sounds excellent and always wonder why it is almost ignored much of the time for "bigger name" plugins.
