A channel strip combining gate, compressor, 10-band EQ, transient shaper, tube saturator and peak limiter in one clearly laid-out plug-in.

The gate suppresses background noise with interactively adjustable threshold and ratio, and the compressor offers flexible sidechain modes with a built-in sidechain EQ and a real-time gain reduction display. The 10-band EQ includes parametric, shelf, analogue shelf and notch filters plus brickwall low-pass and high-pass filters with variable slope, with a real-time spectrum, stereo-linked or mid-side processing per band and an EQ matching feature that automates matching between tracks. The transient processor shapes attack and sustain for punchy drums, the tube saturator adds analogue warmth and harmonic richness, and a low-latency lookahead peak limiter completes the chain. Modules can be rearranged, and the metering supports K-meters.
