Strip and Bus Tools
Eq, Comp/Limiter/Expander
Strip and Bus Tools are a quick and efficient way of adding the Equalization and Dynamics (compression
and expansion) functions commonly found on hardware consoles to channels and busses. Strip and Bus
Tools are particularly economical with DSP processing power. Each processing block may be switched ’into
circuit’ individually. Blocks which are not ‘in circuit’ do not use DSP resources.
Difference between Strip Tools and Bus Tools
There is only one difference between Strip and Bus Tools. Bus Tools have a sophisticated Limiter with
Look-ahead
and
Delay Compensation
where Strip Tools has a Compressor.
Both may be freely used in Strips or Busses if the need should arise for a limiter in an Input Strip or a Com-
pressor in a Bus.
Modules
The Strip and Bus Tools plug-ins consist of several
Sections
or modules. Each
Section
has a title bar at
the top containing an
On/Off
switch for the
s
ection and a control triangle which toggles between showing or
hiding the section.
