Toontrack (in partnership with Overloud) have recently released EZmix, which appreas to be a kind of channel strip, but one that places emphasis on ease of use rather than tweakability. Read on......
The idea is that you insert an instance of EZmix into a channel in your DAW and then select a preset in the plugin, depending on what type of channel you are processing (e.g. drums, bass, vocals, etc). The plugin has 3 sliders which control different parameters, depending on the preset you are using, so e.g. a vocal preset might have adjustable delay time, delay mix, and compression threshold.
While this approach may not be to everyone's taste, there are undoubtedly times when a rough and ready mix is required but you haven't got time to get lost in the minutia of detailed plugin editing, and for those occasions, EZmix presents itself as being ideal.
Available to buy now from the Toontrack website, EZmix comes in VST, Audio Unit, and RTAS, for both Windows and Mac OS X, at a price of £45 including VAT.
