As described in the control and meter guide earlier in this

manual, you can control each band of the EQ directly from

the EQ transfer function display associated with the 6 band

equalizer.

OUTPUT

GAIN

The one fader in ChannelStrip’s user interface controls the

output gain of the EQ section. This fader is not shown in the

illustration of the EQ section, but it is shown in the overall

processor illustration at the beginning of this manual. The

“EQ Gain” fader allows you to add up to +10 dB of gain or

up to -160 dB of attenuation to the 56 bit output signal from

the EQ processor block before any truncation, clipping or

dither is performed. This allows you to pad out or boost the

EQ section at full precision, if required. The output gain of

the EQ section stays attached to the EQ even if the compres-
sor is placed after the EQ processing block.

Delay Section

The final processing block in the ChannelStrip is a user

adjustable delay. You can add up to 255 samples of delay to

the output of ChannelStrip. This is useful for dynamically

slipping tracks, doing acoustical time alignment or compen-
sating for the delay of other plug-ins in your mix. When the

user-adjustable delay is set to 0 samples, the delay through

ChannelStrip is 40 samples (and another 2 samples due to

TDM routing delays for a total of 42 samples). When Chan-
