Get the epic sound of renowned studio hardware with ProChannel:
Ultimate console EQ
The ProChannel’s Gloss EQ is carefully designed to sound clear and musical on virtually any source
material. Utilizing the latest techniques, Gloss EQ injects the smooth beauty of an analog EQ directly
into SONAR’s mixing console.
• Pure, Vintage and Modern modes
• 6 bands, 2 shelf/bells, 4 bell/notches
• 2 fully parametric filters (high and low-pass)
• Gloss mode for one-button shine
Legendary compression
The Pro Channel’s integrated channel and bus compression is designed to offer the big, punchy
sound of classic studio hardware with no need to manage plug-ins.
• The PC76 U-Type channel compressor employs classic FET design with fast attack and analog-
style warmth.
• The PC4K S-Type bus compressor “glues” a mix bus together, imparting the radio-ready sound
made famous by classic, large-format consoles.
Tube saturation
• Two types of tube saturation – Type I and Type II
• From subtle drive to fully saturated with one simple control
Flexible routing
• Entire ProChannel can be pre or post FX bin
• Drag and drop routing of EQ, Compressor & Tube Saturation
