Avid’s Channel Strip packs a lot of flexibility into a compact user interface. As well as a powerful EQ it features one of the best workhorse dynamics sections around. In this extended Premium tutorial, Julian Rodgers examines some of the features which make this plug-in something of a hidden gem in the Pro Tools stock plugins inventory.

As well as basic compression duties Julian demonstrates how to bring out the snare in a mix using subtle side chain compression and how to shape the transient of a kick drum without using a compressor.
