with a frequency of 10 kHz and a gain of 10 dB, the gain will

C ONTROLLING THE EQ WITH THE T RANSFER F UNCTION
As described in the control and meter guide earlier in this
manual, you can control each band of the EQ directly from
the EQ transfer function display associated with the 6 band
equalizer.
EQ OUTPUT GAIN
The one fader in ChannelStrip’s user interface controls the
output gain of the EQ section. This fader is not shown in the
illustration of the EQ section, but it is shown in the overall
processor illustration at the beginning of this manual. The
“EQ Gain” fader allows you to add up to +10 dB of gain or
up to -160 dB of attenuation to the 56 bit output signal from
the EQ processor block before any truncation, clipping or
dither is performed. This allows you to pad out or boost the
EQ section at full precision, if required. The output gain of
the EQ section stays attached to the EQ even if the compres-
sor is placed after the EQ processing block.
Delay Section
The final processing block in the ChannelStrip is a user
adjustable delay. You can add up to 255 samples of delay to
the output of ChannelStrip. This is useful for dynamically
slipping tracks, doing acoustical time alignment or compen-
sating for the delay of other plug-ins in your mix. When the
user-adjustable delay is set to 0 samples, the delay through
ChannelStrip is 40 samples (and another 2 samples due to
TDM routing delays for a total of 42 samples). When Chan-
