HoRNet has released the Channel Strip MK2 plug-in, now available for 32- and 64-bit Mac OS X and Windows. It now costs €79.
ChannelStrip MK2 is designed for every day use. Its equalizer can shape the tone and its dynamic processors sports three different compressor models and an expander.
Main Features:
One equalizer with filters, shelves and 3 parametric filters.
Two dynamics processors.
Four different compression models.
Signal path freely re-arrangeable.
Analog emulation.
Oversampling.
Mac OS X (>=10.5 Intel only) and Windows support.
64bit compatibility both on Mac and Windows.
Audio Units and VST format.
In the HoRNet ChannelStrip you will find:
One Equalizer with:
Hi pass and Low pass filters
Hi Shelf inspired by the one found in a famous british console
Low Shelf inspired by the peculiar response of a famous passive EQ
Three parametric bands that with a wide Q range that can be used for tone shaping and surgical filtering
Two dynamics processors each with four different compression models:
VCA: inspired by the common compressors found in consoles, solid state feed forward versatile compression
FET: an emulation of the character of very fast vintage FET units, it's a feedback compressor and can be very aggressive
OPTO: inspired by a famous tube limiter, its feed forward and has a smooth response
Expander: works as a traditional gate/expander based on a VCA design
Module order freely rearrangeable for the desired signal path (ex. Expander -> EQ -> compresor for a typical drum setup, or EQ -> FET compressor -> OPTO compressor for a typical vocal setup)
Analog emulation that adds saturation (each model has a different saturation type) and other non linearities
Oversampling where it matters, it means that each model has a different oversampling level when the option is activated so that the plugin always use least amount of CPU needed for the maximum quality
Effective metering: every module has its own input and output meter and level trim and since everything is built around analog models I have put there VU Meters instead of peak meters, you have peak meters in your daw!
