The Symphony ECS Channel Strip is a brilliant piece of technology. It lets you really shape your sound and it’s so simple and basic to use.
The EQ section is based on vintage 1970s three-band hardware units that sound great pretty much at any setting. The compressor is so simple it’s really quick to set up even while you are tracking. You just plug it in and you’ll get a sound almost instantly. And it even looks like one of the original Apogee converters from the 80s which is one of the things I love about it.
With the drive you can dial in anything from subtle peak taming to hot saturation to full-on crunch. It will push any track to the front of your mix.
In fact, I just used the ECS Channel Strip on a Ronnie Wood live track. He had done a guitar overdub and it just didn’t sound live enough. So, I cranked it through the ECS Channel Strip, added some compression, EQ and drive to finish it off and problem solved!
