    1 has crosstalk to 2, 2 to 1 and 3, 3 to 2 and 4, ... IOW, each channel crosstalks to the left and the right side.

    FAL's Flywheel features a crosstalk switch, but I can't really hear it. Sinevibes' Strator on the other hand can go from subtle to crystal clear with its crosstalk knob.

    What @No Avenger is telling is super important. Because there are a lot of plugins that do crosstalk bleeding only between 1-2, for example. Not between 2-3, or 4-5 following a console order. Only between L/R of the channel which the plugin is running. I'm asking myself right now if there's any plugin that emulates crosstalk bleeding from following channel, if both have the same plugin.

    never heard some plugin could do that. Maybe the VST3 technology could do it, it would be like a TMT for crosstalk lol

    I have to say that crosstalk is emulated in a very few plugins, mostly (good) tape emulators or "bus system" emulators. The Lindell channels strip or any other I dont think have the crosstalk

    Don't the Sonimus' A/N consoles do that in that master bus controller setting? I'm eager to test them!

    Btw, they've announced an upcoming T-Console. Trident, maybe?

    Yes, I have talked about it deeply. but Sonimus A console that's not a 'channel strip', I was referring to channels strips and frankly I don't know N console, possibly it has the option. Actually nothing comes to my mind

    Sonimus emulation crosstalk only does L-R of the channel it's engaged on

    Questions like this, whether they are or not, strike me as clickbait (successful clickbait, as here I am,) since none of the comments are going to reveal any new insight or opinion that hasn't be rehashed a dozen times before (presumably originally just "hashed" at some point.)
    From past comments across the internet by people who claim to actually mix you'd think there were dead-set no-go areas, but one comment I came across when I first discovered the bx_consoles, a comment by someone who claimed to be a long-time mix engineer (it's the inter-webs, none of us may have actually ever touched *anything audio—I just assume we're all frauds,) read (paraphrasing slightly,) "the bx_console #56 is great for a lot of things, but don't use it on vocals cuz it makes them sound like a pile of flies fucking on a wet dog turd," and yet, despite his advice, I've gotten a great mix from using that particular bx_console for a lead vocal along with two backing vocals as well, using not just the EQ, but the Gate, and Comp on it too, and I dislike the way a lot of vocals end up sounding when Gates are used on them. At the end of it, while it's interesting to analyze others' workflows and possibly find some new techniques in the craft, it comes down to "Does it work for you in any context amidst what you create/work-on?"
    But, I guess we wouldn't have much to talk about if we didn't stand on our audio likes and dislikes as valuable markers of quality. In that vein, I think that Dada Life needs to make a per-channel console version of Sausage Fattener called Bacon Crispier that's really just the power of ten Sausage Fatteners harnessed in one plugin and contains a boost-only peak EQ @3.5kHz, a 12:1 AI multiband compressor, and the ability to add up to 500% stereo width—all three of these would be controlled with one knob, of course. Eh? Eh? Genius, no? :yes:
