Channel Strip

PreSonus

Channel Strip is a compact three-in-one processor combining a low-cut filter (40–400 Hz), a dual-mode dynamics processor with compression and expansion, and a three-band parametric EQ. It features optional automatic gain correction to match input and output signal power, making it ideal for straightforward channel processing on mono or stereo tracks that need essential tone shaping and dynamic control.

Key Features

01Low-cut filter with 40–400 Hz range
02Compression with threshold 0 to -20 dB and ratio 2:1 to 10:1
03Expansion with threshold -64 to -24 dB and ratio 1.5:1 to 2.5:1
04Three-band parametric EQ (Low, Mid, High) with fixed Q
05RMS averaging speed selection (Slow, Medium, Fast)
06Automatic gain correction with Auto mode
07Adapt Q for dynamic bandwidth control
08Output gain range -12 to 12 dB

Things to Try

  • 01Use Slow RMS averaging speed to reduce artifacts on certain audio materials, versus the default Medium setting
  • 02Enable Adapt Q to automatically adjust EQ band bandwidth based on boost or cut amount
  • 03Engage Auto mode to ensure 0 dB input signal equals 0 dB output signal after EQ processing
