25th January 2018
Waves has released Scheps Omni Channel, a new plug-in designed with Grammy-winning mixer Andrew Scheps (Adele, Jay Z, Metallica). This flexible channel strip delivers Andrew's time-tested combinations of compression, EQ, saturation colors and more – all crafted to work together beautifully and cohesively.
Channel strips provide all your basic processing – EQ, compression, gating, and often more – in one modular, easy-to-manage unit.
Mixers choosing which channel strip to work with often face a dilemma, however: Channel strip plugins based on vintage mixing consoles can sound amazing, but tend to tie you down to a very specific and limited sonic color. Modular channel strip plugins let you mix and match diverse processors with flexibility, but the different processors might not work together cohesively and won't necessarily interact as a true channel strip.
Scheps Omni Channel aims to give you the best of both worlds. Through years of mixing diverse music genres, Andrew Scheps has perfected certain combinations of go-to processors – some based on classic hardware units, some being innovative modules developed from scratch – each with its own unique character. They are all now provided to you in one flexible yet fully cohesive channel strip plugin.
Scheps Omni Channel features five modules that you can use in any order you like:
If that's not enough, Scheps Omni Channel features an insert slot that can be positioned anywhere in the chain, where you can insert an additional Waves plugin of your choice, including an extra instance of any of the Scheps Omni Channel modules.
For live sound, Scheps Omni Channel offers zero latency and full discrete control over each stereo channel. Select controls of the compressor, EQ and filters are mapped conveniently to the eMotion LV1 live mixing console, serving as the console's channel strip.
Finally, you get a set of 'Focus' presets, created for different sources, which highlight the most important controls you should be focusing on to achieve your current task.
Summary:
Intro Price: $49 (Reg. $149). Scheps Omni Channel, now available as a single plugin as well as in Mercury, Pro Show and SD7 Pro Show.
