“I use Metric Halo ChannelStrip v4 just like I would use a SSL E channel strip. I love the metering and flexibility of the parameters. I can practically manipulate it as much as I want or as little as I need. It’s also very easy on the CPU so you can use many instances of it without any issues.
I like the simplicity & straight forward nature of HaloVerb. It sort of reminds me of a stock reverb that gets used often during tracking due to latency. The parameters are sort of different so rather than being that typical sound, you can also manipulate it to do something weird and quirky. I love the A/B blend function. You can come up with some interesting combinations using that & I think that is one factor that definitely sets it apart from the others.”
Jonathan Campbell
Multi-platinum mixer
“Metric Halo ChannelStrip is used consistently on every single mix and is the one plugin I can rely on to get me where I need to go. Nothing beats the sound, speed, and flexibility of what this can do. The dynamics envelopes impart something special to the sound and the EQ is simply fantastic.”

“I have been loving ChannelStrip 4 so much. It has all the mojo of an old console with all the flexibility of a modern plugin. What’s especially appealing to me is how musical it remains, no matter how you push it. Coupled with Character, you can get that large console feel with the agility of an ITB workflow. I’ve already replaced the SSL channel strip in my templates with ChannelStrip 4!”
