Metric Halo ChannelStrip v4

Product description

For over 25 years, Metric Halo’s ChannelStrip has been an integral part of the sound of myriad Grammy-award winning, Gold and Platinum records, hit TV shows and blockbuster movies. ChannelStrip has been the critical tool for getting “the sound” quickly for thousands of professional recording engineers, composers and musicians world-wide.

As a signal processing bundle ChannelStrip integrates everything you need to process the channels that make up a mix as well as process the entire mix bus. Featuring an Expander, Compressor, multi-band EQ, and a limiter, ChannelStrip provides a unified interface for processing your tracks. It also includes phase invert, channel delay, comprehensive metering and SpectraFoo™ spectrum analysis - so you can see your audio as well as you can hear it. ChannelStrip is an essential tool for every project.

The v4 AAX plugins are Native only. In order to support AAX DSP (e.g. Pro Tools HDX and Carbon), MH has developed v4 so that it may be co-installed with v3. The v3 plugins will continue to be used for DSP instances, and new DSP instances may be added with v3. v4 plugins can be inserted for Native instances. If the v3 plugins are not installed, Pro Tools will automatically migrate v3 instances to v4 Native. v3 Instances may be manually migrated by the user if both v3 and v4 are installed.
For current Metric Halo Production Bundle & plugin users, MH has been careful to ensure that old settings and presets are correctly loaded by the new plugins, and that the VST3 plugins provide compatible IDs for the VST2 plugins (and AU and AAX plugins also are configured to be fully ID compatible with the v1, v2, and v3 versions of the PB plugins) so the all existing sessions migrate forward seamlessly.
