A very smooth, flexible, intuitive and easy to use high quality plugin. I find myself using this channel strip more frequently on a variety of projects and have even used it to replace other plugins on older projects that were deemed finished. I can achieve a subtle rich warmth with this combination of Pre-amp, Compressor and EQ without having to try very hard. Having all three elements contained in one insert window coupled with the ability to place them in any order is a real bonus, it results in quicker setup time and tweaking is made easier as everything is right there in front of you. A pleasure to use!

I love Lindell Audio products, I am constantly reaching for the 7x-500, or the PEX-500, or the 6X-500 or any combination for almost every track in a mix. I actually started with just the 7x-500 and loved it. It was my first Lindell purchase, then came the eq, which is one of my go to plugins. I should have purchased the ChannelX bundle right off the bat!! I do indie/americana music, so tend to lean to plugins that aren't totally transparent and add some analog feel to my tracks. The channelX is perfect because it has 3 of my favorite analog modeled plugins in one instantiation, boom, it makes tweaking so fast with 3 plugins right there. It hands down is my favorite for vocals, it just adds so much of the sound I am looking for. Down load the trial and see for yourself how great this setup really is, you won't be disappointed!

After using the 3 Lindell plugins individually for a while being able to use all 3 of them in one plugin slot is great. The fact that you can have any combination is just a bonus (EQ-Compression, Compression-EQ). I use at least one of the plugins in most of my mixes and reckon that having the Channel X will mean I'll use all of them more of the time, which won't be a bad thing at al!!
lovely!

I find that with Channel X that I can get a nice punchy kick and a snappy snare very quickly. Its an easy to use plugin. The HP and LP filters are great. You can really push the compression with this thing.

Well, I'm just a hobby musician, but... I know when it sounds great. And right now it sounds awesome!!Okay, the drums coming out of my Roland TR-8 combined with the raw analog sound from my new Korg Minilogue mixed in the DAW already seemed to be great... at least solo or in a thin ensemble together... but as I'm not a professional mixing engineer, I struggled to get that full thick sound from both together. Either the Drums or the Synth dominated... usually it was the Bass Drum and the Synth heard best, but the nice Snare and Rimshot of the 808 got lost between all the Bass and Claps, and the hihats were not as sparkling as I like them.I'm not going to say now that the Lindell Plugins are the "somewhat magic" you put into your mix and wonders will happen - but if you're just a little bit conscious of what is going on in your mix, the ChannelX will indeed sound like a wonder with just some little adjustments.And that's where I really feel these Plugins help me to overcome my shortage of knowledge in audio engineering. And I still can dig in deeper if I want to - got some really extreme settings tonight which still sounded like party to me :-)Really, really well done Tobias Lindell and Plugin Alliance, thanks!! :-)
