Metric Halo ChannelStrip 2 TDM OS X

The Metric Halo ChannelStrip 2 TDM OS X is a multi-processor plug-in that is professionally developed for providing the sound and feel of an analog mixing console. The Metric Halo ChannelStrip 2 is created capable to offer high audio quality, DSP and CPU efficiency, and a comprehensive user interface that is allowing the users for working with the Pro Tools systems as efficiently and interactively as they would with a dedicated mixing console.

The plug-in is featuring eight bands of EQ, six main and two for use on the dynamics-section sidechain. The six parametric bands of the EQ are designed capable of deep notches and steep resonant peaks. It is using include finding "space" for individual instruments within a mix, or for re-tuning drums after they have been recorded.

The dynamics section of the ChannelStrip comes including both an expander/ gate and a separate compressor. The expander/gate is most useful during the  time of woking with microphone-recorded sources. It is designed capable of providing an automatic gain-riding feature that is muting the input or track when the audio level is too low, as in the case of a noisy guitar amplifier, as for example.

The compressor also is providing an an automatic gain-riding feature, but instead of changing the gain when the signal falls below a certain threshold, the compressor is lowering the gain during the time of the signal level is high. This is allowing the compressor to even out the dynamics of a performance and pull out low-level detail from the source material.

A delay function is allowing for time-aligning tracks that are part of a multi-microphone recording. In designing the plug-in, emphasis was placed on maintaining pristine sound with low CPU overhead, along with providing a user-friendly interface for improved workflow.
