Unlock Vintage Console Sound with the ProChannel S-Type Channel Compressor

Elevate your music production with the ProChannel S-Type Channel Compressor DLC for Cakewalk's ProChannel! (SONAR Professional or SONAR Platinum required). Experience classic, console-style channel compression directly within your digital audio workstation. This must-have addition to your effects arsenal delivers the smooth, transparent sound shaping that defined generations of hit recordings, ideal for leveling bass, keys, and rhythm guitars within your mix.

Classic Console Emulation for Professional Mixing

Pair the PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor with the included ProChannel EQ (set to Vintage), Producer's PC4K S-Type Bus Compressor, and the optional PC4K S-Type Expander/Gate for full emulation of a classic, large-format mixing console, delivering the coveted sonic character of legendary British mixers to your Cakewalk sessions. Achieve a professional mix with controls inspired by legendary hardware. Experience the flexibility and ergonomics only software can provide.

Channel Compression vs. Bus Compression: The Perfect Pair

Understand the difference: the PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor is designed for shaping individual tracks, while the PC4K S-Type Bus Compressor excels at "gluing" together groups of tracks or your entire mix. Use the Channel Compressor to level and enhance individual sources, and the Bus Compressor for cohesive, dynamic control. The PC4K S-Type compressors are modeled after famous, British, large format consoles.

Why Add Another Channel Compressor to Your Mixing Workflow?

Complement your existing tools! Unlike the PC76 U-Type Channel Compressor (included with SONAR Platinum) and its fast FET-style character, this VCA-based compressor offers a transparent, adaptable approach, working effectively across various sources without sacrificing clarity. Push it hard for dynamic control while maintaining your sonic integrity.

• The PC76 U-Type delivers classic FET warmth and a fast attack, ideal for punchy drums and aggressive shaping.
• The PC4K S-Type Channel Compressor, modeled after a VCA-based channel strip, remains transparent even when driven hard. Ideal for a wide variety of material such as bass, keys, and rhythm guitars.

Go Beyond Classic Mixing Console Emulation with Cakewalk ProChannel

Harness the power of ProChannel's modularity. Create custom channel strips by mixing and matching compressor types, EQ settings, and routing options. Swap the S-Type for the PC76 U-Type on your bass track, experiment with signal flow, and save your unique setups for future use. Embrace the flexibility to fine-tune and create sounds impossible to achieve with hardware alone.
