Operating the Strip
As with most c hannel strips, ChannelStrip provides many
copies of controls that are all operated in a similar manner.
The ChannelStrip user interface uses a few different control
elements to control all of the processing. These elements are:
Contr ol Knob
Contr ol Knobs are used to control the value of various
continuous parameters of a process. Examples of these

Threshold, etc. You can change the value of each knob in a number

dragging down or to the left will decrease the value. If you hold
down the key when you click, you will be able to
