Where to get itIncluded with Studio One. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.presonus.com

Channel Strip is a multi-processor plugin combining a low-cut filter, dynamics processor, and three-band parametric EQ designed for fundamental channel processing on mono or stereo tracks. It includes optional automatic gain correction to match input and output signal levels, making it suitable for quick, transparent channel shaping across a range of audio material.
