Metric Halo MH ChannelStrip v4 — A Classic Channel Strip, Refreshed

The Metric Halo MH ChannelStrip v4 is a full-featured channel strip plug-in that brings together an expander, compressor, multi-band parametric EQ, and a limiter inside one unified interface. For over 25 years, this model has shaped the sound of countless Grammy-winning, Gold, and Platinum records, and v4 keeps that legacy while adding workflow upgrades like VST3 support, native Apple Silicon compatibility, A/B snapshots, and full undo/redo.

What Makes This Plug-In Stand Out

What sets ChannelStrip apart from a stack of separate plug-ins is the way its modules are interconnected. Each compressor and gate offers an individually switchable side-chain with a built-in side-chain EQ. The EQ/Compressor routing is flexible, letting you adapt the processing path to your material. SpectraFoo spectrum analysis appears directly in the interface, enabling engineers to watch the audio as they shape it.

Who Is It For

The MH ChannelStrip v4 suits producers, mix engineers, and project-studio owners looking for one processor to handle dynamics, EQ, and limiting on any track or on the mix bus. Over 250 included presets and a 30-day free trial are there for beginners; meanwhile, experienced engineers value the routing flexibility and side-chain options that made ChannelStrip a studio staple for decades. It runs as a full version license on macOS and Windows in AU, VST2, VST3, and AAX formats, with two iLok activations included.
