July 26, 1999 Metric Halo Laboratories, Inc. announced ChannelStrip™ the new
comprehensive audio processing plug-in for Pro Tools and other Digidesign®
TDM-based digital audio workstations. ChannelStrip is literally the channel-strip
audio-processing section of a digital console with a TDM plug-in interface.
It offers exceptional audio quality, incredible DSP efficiency and a comprehensive
user interface that finally allows Pro Tools users to work with Pro Tools
as efficiently and interactively as they would with a dedicated mixing
console. ChannelStrip should ship on August 9, 1999.

facilities in one complete plug-in. Each instance provides:

Peak, RMS, and VU meters.
ChannelStrip currently supports PT|MIX and MIX farm cards. It can process
