Chapter 10: Channel Strip
Avid Channel Strip is an AAX plug-in (Native
and AudioSuite) that provides EQ, Dynamics,
Filter, and Gain effects. The Avid Channel Strip
processing algorithms are based on the award
winning Euphonix System 5 console channel
strip effects.
Channel Strip supports 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz,
88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz sam-
ple rates. Channel Strip supports mono, stereo,
and greater-than-stereo multichannel formats
up to 7.1 (Pro Tools HD and Pro Tools with
Complete Production Toolkit).
In addition to standard knob and fader controls,
Channel Strip also provides a graph to track the
gain transfer curve for the Expander/Gate, Com-
pressor/Limiter, and Side Chain effects, and a
Frequency Graph display that shows the re-
sponse curve for the current EQ settings on a
two-dimensional graph of frequency and gain.
The frequency graph display also lets you mod-
ify frequency, gain and Q settings for individual
EQ bands by dragging their corresponding
points in the graph.
Channel Strip provides different sections for
signal metering and gain adjustment, signal
path ordering, dynamics processing, and equal-
ization and filtering.
Sections and Panes
The Channel Strip plug-in window is organized
in several sections: Input, FX Chain, Output,
Dynamics, and EQ/Filters. The Dynamics and
EQ/Filters sections can be independently shown
or hidden. This lets you access controls or free
up screen space, depending on your needs.
