I've never used channel strips much - moons ago was using Waves SSL on kick and snare but that's about it. From there I just went with whatever EQ and compressor I was digging at the time and that was that.
I've been looking at ways to improve my workflow and when I saw that Fuse came out with a strip I thought I'd give it a go since I like his plugs.
In my first trials (using nothing but the VCS-1) I got songs in a good spot in no time. I loved having EQ, filters, compression/gate and saturation right there at all times where I could quickly move from one to the other and back, you know, like a console. When a track needs a certain extra something, I'll add whatever plug is needed. You know, like outboard. The end result also seemed to have a bit of "common tone" like working with a console.
I'm sure some of you figured this out eons ago but I'm curious how many people work with channel strips vs separate plugs for EQ/comp/saturation/etc. I'm looking forward to working with this new (to me) workflow and hoping it's a win.
