An integral part of multiple Grammy winning artists sound, the Metric Halo ChannelStrip 2 is a multiprocessor plug-in developed to provide the sound and feel of an analog mixing console. It offers high audio quality, DSP, and CPU efficiency, and a comprehensive user interface that allows users to work with Pro Tools systems as efficiently and interactively as they would with a dedicated mixing console. This version runs natively on Mac OS X, and supports RTAS and VST formats, so it is suitable for users who enjoy working with legacy gear and protocols.
