9. Processing
A Detailed Description
In this chapter we'll discuss what each processing block does and how the controls work.
Figure 9.1: Signal Flow: Compressor is Pre-EQ
Figure 9.2: Signal Flow: Compressor is Post-EQ
The block diagrams above illustrate the overall structure of the processing system provided by ChannelStrip.
The diagrams do not indicate the various metering blocks. The configuration is controlled by the “Post EQ”
button in the compressor and it changes the path of the signal through the processor. The internal signal
switching provided by ChannelStrip allows you to explore the various effects of re-ordering processing blocks
without having to waste time stopping the transport, removing and reinserting plug-ins and then finally restart-
ing the transport.
Now lets examine the various processing blocks indicated in the diagram.
Input Conditioning
After the signal is routed to ChannelStrip it runs through the phase invert block. This block is controlled by the
“ø Inv” switch. When the phase invert is enabled the polarity of the signal will be flipped. The signal is cross-
