Overview

The whole strip, simplified.

Renaissance Channel puts compression, expansion, gating, sidechaining and four bands of EQ in one strip, with the Renaissance interface that keeps everything visible at once. The compressor switches between R-Comp and the voice-optimised R-Vox behaviour, and the compressor and the expander and gate each carry their own sidechain. The expander can be set to gate instead. A rotation control adds image placement beyond simple panning, and one preset recalls the whole chain.

Highlights

EQ, compression, gate and level in one strip
Six-band EQ with vintage and modern behaviours
Sections voiced to work together rather than stacked
Lower CPU than loading separate plugins
A sensible default for channels needing moderate treatment
Routing options between the EQ and dynamics stages
Mono and stereo components
Part of the Renaissance range
