Description

The Symphony ECS Channel Strip from Apogee Electronics puts vintage-style EQ, saturation, and compression tuned by legendary audio engineer Bob Clearmountain into the DAWs of producers, engineers, and musicians looking to record quality basic tracks and put the final touches on your mix. By merging all of its processing modules into a simple single-window user interface, the plug-in enables effective enhancement of tracks with minimum fuss and maximum results.
The EQ section features three semi-parametric bands and a variable high-pass filter that can be positioned before the EQ or in front of the sidechain. Threshold and ratio controls are provided to tweak the compressor, which also offers one-knob parallel compression, automatic makeup gain, and a dedicated meter for gain reduction. Saturation is also adjustable from gentle gain to warm grit, via the drive control.

EQ

The Channel Strip’s EQ is based on a vintage 1970’s hardware EQ that’s simple but potent, so you can dial in your sound with ease. Switch on the high-pass filter before the compressor sidechain for aggressive compression without pumping.

Compressor

With parameters tuned by legendary mixer Bob Clearmountain, the compressor offers foolproof gain reduction with just the essential controls. Parallel compression is easy using the included Mix knob.

Saturation

Add the finishing touch to your sound with variable levels of saturation, from subtle volume boosting—crunchy and exciting—to full-on crushing.

Flexible Workflows with Symphony Desktop

The ECS Channel Strip runs both on Symphony Desktop onboard hardware DSP and as a native plug-in in your DAW, opening an array of innovative and flexible workflows. Commit to your processing with Print FX mode or set up DualPath monitoring for zero latency recording with the ECS Channel Strip.

System Compatibility

The plug-in supports AAX Native, Audio Units, VST, and VST2 formats, and it is compatible with macOS and Windows systems.
