Where to get itAvailable from Audio Damageaudiodamage.com

AD058 ChannelStrip is a versatile channel-strip plugin combining a noise gate, three-band equalizer, compressor, and level controls in a single window. Designed for essential signal processing across all track types in a DAW, it prioritizes practical functionality and ease of use over elaborate UI design or vintage hardware emulation, making it a straightforward tool for quickly improving vocals, instruments, and dialog.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Noise gate with adjustable threshold (-60 to 0 dB), attack (0.1 to 100 msec) and release (1 msec to 1 second)
02Three-band EQ: low shelf (50 or 100 Hz), mid-range with adjustable center frequency (250 Hz to 5 kHz), and high shelf (7.5 kHz or Air)
03Compressor with threshold (-60 to 0 dB), ratio (1:1 to 10:1), attack (1 msec to 10 seconds) and release (0.1 to 3 seconds)
04Makeup gain control (0 to 30 dB) to compensate for compression gain reduction
05Input and output level controls (±60 to +10 dB each)
06Gate, EQ and compressor can be bypassed individually or all processing disabled at once
07Full parameter automation via host DAW
08Includes factory presets and custom preset management with import/export

Things to Try

  • 01Use a fast attack time (1 msec to 100 msec range on the gate) to catch transient peaks immediately
  • 02Set the noise gate threshold just below your quietest signal to allow performance through while blocking true silence
  • 03Raise makeup gain after compression to restore apparent loudness after gain reduction on peaks
