This week on Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody step into the ring for a battle of the workflows—Channel Strips vs. Individual Plugins!

We’re diving into: What exactly makes up a channel strip, and how does it compare to stacking separate plugins? The classic hardware emulations and modern virtual channel strips that bring analog-style workflow to your DAW. The pros and cons—efficiency vs. flexibility, simplicity vs. control, and everything in between. Why thinking of your DAW like a console might just change how you mix forever. Of course, no Inside the Recording Studio episode is complete without a bit of nonsense, so expect some laughs along the way.
