What EChannel does
The modules can be reordered according to the workflow, using the developer’s FlexiPath routing, so the gate, compressor, EQ and transformer emulation are processed in whichever sequence suits a session. The gate removes signals below a designated threshold, the compressor alters the dynamics of the input with an optional soft saturation and de-esser, and the 5-band parametric EQ covers the entire audio spectrum with graphical displays that help set frequencies precisely. A side chain trigger drives gain reduction on competing instruments, and the output transformer emulation adds a subtle but distinct character with plenty of low-frequency content.
Key features
- FlexiPath routing. Processors can be ordered by the desired workflow, and the modular design lets the signal path be rearranged freely.
- Gate. The gate module removes signals below a designated threshold, which the developer suggests for multi-miked drum kits.
- Compressor. The compressor alters the dynamics of the input signal and includes an optional soft saturation and de-esser.
- Side chain trigger. A side chain trigger applies gain reduction to one track based on a competing instrument.
- 5-band parametric EQ. Five bands give precise frequency manipulation across the full audio spectrum, shown on graphical displays.
- Output transformer emulation. The output transformer emulation adds a subtle yet distinct effect with a lot of low-frequency content.
Compatibility
Formats are VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows 10 and macOS 10.14 or later, with native Apple Silicon support listed.
