Metric Halo – CGII (Windows)

Description

🎚️ CGII – Loudness Without Compromise

CGII is a powerful mastering and finishing plugin designed to deliver maximum loudness with clarity, richness, and transparency. Built around two complementary dynamic processors and a transparent True Peak limiter, CGII lets you shape your final mix with surgical precision—without distortion, over-compression, or tonal loss.

🔧 Core Features

• Dual-Stage Processing:
  Two complementary sections—Loudness and Density—work in harmony to add RMS energy and perceived loudness while preserving transients and clarity.

• True Peak Limiter:
  Ensure broadcast- and streaming-compliant masters with a transparent limiter that controls inter-sample peaks.

• Selectable Oversampling (up to 16x):
  High-precision processing with optional oversampling minimizes aliasing for ultra-clean results.

• DC Blocking Filter:
  Clean up low-end mud or bias with a transparent DC offset filter.

• Precision LUFS and True Peak Metering:
  Full compliance metering, displayed via bright analog-style tube meters for intuitive feedback.

• Dither Options:
  Apply professional dithering for 16- or 24-bit output—perfect for final rendering or streaming.

• Low CPU, No iLok, 1-Step Install:
  Fast, reliable, and easy to integrate into your workflow without dongles or bloat.

🎛️ Sonic Benefits

• Louder Without Artifacts:
  Bring your master to commercial loudness levels without squashing dynamics or introducing distortion.

• Reveal Hidden Detail:
  The Density section subtly enhances low-level detail and warmth, enriching the mix without clouding it.

• Mastering-Grade Clarity:
  Preserve transient definition and low-end energy, even when driving levels hard.

• Flexible Usage:
  Ideal for final mastering, mix bus enhancement, or transparent track-level limiting.

🧠 What Makes CGII Different?

Unlike traditional limiters or loudness processors, CGII doesn’t just make your tracks louder—it makes them better-sounding while getting louder. Whether you’re finalizing a mix or polishing a master, CGII offers a sonically invisible, highly musical solution that streamlines your workflow and enhances your output.
