Camel Strip V2 Black Friday pricing is $39.99, 49% off, until Nov 30, 2026, on Safari Audio's channel strip plugin with a Wild mode compressor and a transient shaper.
The maker pitches it as a whole studio's worth of processing in one strip, and says it is built to be fun to drive. It is meant for channels, groups and stems when you want to mix faster and sound bolder.
Camel Strip V2 is a channel strip plugin. The signal chain runs preamp, EQ, compressor, gate and transient shaper, with metering on top.
The maker says V2 is a completely redesigned release with a new interface and a new preset system.
Here is what each section does, going by the maker's description:
The maker calls the transient shaper unique.
A live spectrum analyser sits alongside gain-reduction metering, so you can watch the effect of each move as you make it.
V2 also adds a short-term LUFS readout, which gives you a loudness reading without opening another meter on the bus.
Every section has its own LED. Click a section in or out and you hear exactly what that stage contributes, which makes it quick to decide whether the gate, the compressor or the EQ is earning its place.
Smart Gain and Link Gain handle level matching, so a bypassed section does not trick you into thinking the louder version sounds better. A/B compare lets you flip between two settings.
The maker also lists a new oversampling algorithm, which is aimed at keeping the processing clean when you push the strip hard.
One instance covers the jobs that usually take several plugins. That can keep your session tidy, and it means fewer plugin windows to juggle while you gain stage a drum bus or a vocal.
Camel Strip V2 is a channel strip plugin from the Safari Audio range.
Yes. The Camel Strip V2 Black Friday deal takes 49% off Safari Audio's channel strip plugin, bringing it to $39.99. The offer runs until Nov 30, 2026.
It is one channel strip with a preamp (Trim, Pad, phase invert), a 3-band EQ with Low and High cuts, a compressor with Wild mode, a gate, a transient shaper, a spectrum analyser and gain-reduction metering.
Wild is a dedicated mode on the compressor. The maker says it smacks your signal into shape. It sits alongside the gate and transient shaper, so you can tighten dynamics and set the attack within one plugin.
V2 has a completely redesigned interface and a new preset system. The maker also lists Smart Gain and Link Gain for level matching, A/B compare, a short-term LUFS readout and a new oversampling algorithm.
