Chris Gehringer(Sterling Sound 的高级母带工程师兼合伙人)对 Metric Halo 的 Sontec MES-432D9D 印象深刻,以至于当 Rick Carson 向他提出合作开发一款签名插件时,他立刻就准备好了。
这次合作的成果就是 CGII —— 一个专为母带制作打造的动态整音工具包。
CGII 包含两个独特而互补的动态增强模块、一个全新的真峰值限制阶段、DC 阻断和抖动功能,并通过精美的电子管灯丝显示器提供 LUFS 与真峰值电平监测,支持高达 16 倍过采样(当然也可以完全关闭,视个人喜好而定)。
这款插件在设计上强调音乐性与易用性,能够有效增强响度、厚度与清晰度,同时不会像传统动态处理器那样牺牲空间感与冲击力。
使用 CGII 可以让你的母带变得响亮,同时保持混音原有的清晰度、密度和重量感。即使你的混音本身已经很响,它也能锦上添花,不会引入刺耳失真,也不会让音乐变平、失去低频的生命力。与此同时,它还能控制节目音频的真峰值,避免出现采样间过载。
我们还在 CGII 中加入了抖动处理、DC 滤波器以及完整的 LUFS / 真峰值电平监测系统,使其可以作为母带链中的最后一道工序,一站式完成最终处理。
尽管 CGII 最初的设计目标是兼顾“好听”和“响亮”,但你会发现它在混音与音频处理链的多个环节同样表现出色。
你可以使用 Loudness(响度)模块激发谐波,用 Density(密度)模块增强细节、提升弱信号清晰度而不影响瞬态表现;又或者仅使用它那极为透明的真峰值限幅器,放在你所需要的位置即可。
主要特点:
- 世界级的音频处理质量与工作流程
- 用户可选的过采样(最高支持 16 倍)
- Density 模块通过提升原本被掩盖的细节,有效提高感知响度,同时不影响高电平瞬态
- Loudness 模块能在保持峰值控制的前提下,透明地提升 RMS 电平
- True Peak 限幅器 能透明地控制输出,确保真峰值不会超出设定上限
- DC 阻断滤波器 去除残留的直流偏移
- 抖动功能 支持将输出抖动至 16 到 24 位
- Nixie 管显示器 可显示多种用户选择的电平值:LUFS(整体/短时/瞬时/保持)、真峰值或其保持值
- 内置大量预设
- 用户界面大小可调
- MH 预设管理器 支持跨平台预设管理
无需安装 iLok License Manager 即可运行

Chris Gehringer, Senior Mastering Engineer & Partner of Sterling Sound, was so taken with Metric Halo’s Sontec MES-432D9D that when Rick Carson approached him about doing a signature plug-in, he was was ready to go.
The result of the collaboration is CGII – a mastering dynamics finishing toolkit.
CGII is comprised of two uniquely complementary dynamics enhancement sections, a new True Peak Limiting stage, DC blocking and dither with LUFS/true peak metering via spiffy tube filament displays, all operating at up to 16x over-sampling (or none at all – depending on your tastes).
The design prioritizes musical integrity and ease of use, with the ability to add effective loudness, weight and definition without diminishing spatial depth and visceral impact the way traditional dynamics processors often do.
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.
We’ve also included dither, a DC-block filter and complete LUFS/True Peak metering so that you can place CGII 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.
Key Features:
World-class Signal Processing and Workflow.
User-Selectable Over-sampling (up to 16x).
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).
Many presets included.
Adjustable UI size.
