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 buses. Strip and Bus Tools are par-
ticularly 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 major 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 Buses 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 con-
taining an On/Off switch for the s ection and a control triangle which toggles between showing or hiding the sec-
tion.
