## What is GCL1?

Please note: this is an AUv3 plugin that can be used with compatible host Apps.

GSi GCL1 features three dynamic processors in one unit: 
- Gate: typically used to interrupt background noise when there's no musical content in a noisy track
- Compressor: a device that automatically adjusts the dynamic response of a sound source to make it constant and stable
- Limiter: a device that limits the highest peak levels to prevent unwanted distortion or clipping

The initial of these three devices make the name G, C and L... and the number 1 is because you never know...

Using this plugin is very simple, every control is rendered like on a real unit, with absolute values on knobs and precise vu-meters.

## Key features

- Gate for noise reduction
- Compressor for dynamic response
- Limiter to prevent clipping
- AUv3 plugin compatibility

The dev who created Genuine Sounds, Just Piano, 

How come they designed this well, Channel Strip!

Weak one! Just take a look at the  Audio Damage Strip!
That’s just deadly! 

It’s designed in some how on par with the DDMF one!
