In-Depth
EQ - The Channel Strip’s EQ is based on vintage 1970’s hardware EQ that’s simple but potent, so you can dial in your sound with ease. Switch the high pass filter to the compressor sidechain for aggressive compression without pumping.
Compressor - With parameters tuned by legendary mixer Bob Clearmountain, the compressor offers foolproof gain reduction with just the essential controls. Parallel compression is easy using the included Mix knob.
Saturation - Add the finishing touch to your sound with variable levels of saturation, from subtle volume boosting through crunchy and exciting to full-on crush.
Flexible Workflows with Symphony Desktop - The ECS Channel Strip runs both on Symphony Desktop on-board hardware DSP and as a native plugin in your DAW, opening an array of innovative and flexible workflows. Commit to your processing with Print FX mode or set up DualPath monitoring for zero latency recording with the ECS Channel Strip.
