Why has the smaller version been discontinued? This one's pretty confusing with doubled modules and for 90% of applications an overkill.

Well, it is hard to maintain 2 similar products over the years :-)
CS-3301 is still available (download, bug fixes).

Well, we think it has not much value to sell a product that does not get new features, only bug fixes :wink:

Hey! I want to ask you, is it normal that when the plugin is opened, the RAM load increases by 1.5 gigabytes, and when the load is closed, only 30-50 megabytes?

Hmm, we see only 20-30MB increase, no 1.5GB spike.

The selling point of any channel strip is that it's easy to see what's going on at a glance and that it's fast to work with.

CS-5501 is an antithesis of that design, with modules hidden away behind complex drop-down menus and signal flow that doesn't support obvious drag & drop. This could be a perfect channel strip, but it won't be until UI & workflow are sorted out. (IMO, obviously).

It was nice at first, until people started requesting more and more features until simplicity got lost.

I don't agree that it's too complicated or complex for a channel strip.

I think it's great that you have the possibilities. You don't have to use them when you prefer to keep it simple. So I don't see the disadvantage?

Update to 2.4.1:
- NEW: FET compressor mode, 76 style (FET 1)
- FIX: Ableton VST3 fader link
- FIX: compatibility of automation parameter to prev. versions
- FIX: crash preset recall (GUI scale)

Hello TB, could you implement gain to bandwidth link in the EQ section? It would be a nice workflow thing. Another opto compressor mode wouldn't go amiss too. Thanks. :)
