Apogee has released a native version of their ECS Channel Strip previously available only for Apogee Symphony as a DSP plugin, this plugin is now available natively on Audio Units, AAX and VST
ECS Channel Strip, a native audio plugin offering equalisation, compression and saturation processing tuned by legendary mixing engineer Bob Clearmountain.
The Symphony ECS Channel Strip (Equalisation, Compression, Saturation) gives artists, producers and mixers a quick and powerful toolkit to control and shape individual tracks and final mixes.
Based on vintage 1970’s hardware equalization, at the same time, it offers modern sidechaining for aggressive compression without pumping. The compressor’s gain reduction is based on modern console dynamic processors and provides for easy parallel compression using the Mix knob. The Saturation section offers variable levels of harmonic distortion, from the subtle volume boost to more obvious drive. With this release, the Symphony ECS Channel Strip now runs on both Symphony Desktop on-board hardware DSP and as a native plugin in your DAW.
Whether you’re recording basic tracks or adding the final touches on your mix, the Symphony ECS Channel Strip offers simple but comprehensive EQ, compression and saturation for enhancing your tracks with minimum fuss and maximum results.
