In depth
A closer look at CS-FX
Most recorded music used to be processed through a hardware mixer, and some production companies still use this technique today. These are typically known as consoles or desks, where each channel is made from a wide range of controls (called strips) that are vertically displayed. Besides knobs and faders, these channel strips also have equalization tools. Dedicated to Windows users, CS-FX is an audio plugin designed as a channel strip, which features support for bypass, input and output gain, panning, inverting the output, and more. It also supports multiple cores. To be able to use this VST channel strip plugin, you must have a VST host installed on your PC, like energyXT, VSTHost, Carla, VSTplayer, or SAVIHost. The downloaded archive contains a DLL file that can you can simply drag and drop in the main window of your VST player with the aid of your mouse.
