The Pr ocessing – A Detailed Description
In this section we discuss w hat each processing block does
and how the controls work. ChannelStrip is unique among
TDM plug-ins in that it provides all the basic channel pro-
cessing that you need in a complete package. It accom-
plishes this through a combination of elegant user interface
design and incredible DSP coding. ChannelStrip provides all
basic channel processing in the same amount of DSP as one
6–band Focusrite d2 EQ and it sounds better.
