Strip and Bus Tools - Plug-ins

Eq, Comp/Limiter/Expander

Strip and Bus Tools are a quick and efficient way of adding the Equalization and Dynamics (compres-
sion 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
Compressor 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 section and a control triangle which toggles between
showing or hiding the section.

dow title bar of the plug-in to open a menu offering some general display options for the Strip Tools plug-
ins:
