Inspired by the 32 Series analogue console, Harrison Audio’s 32Classic channel strip is an American mixer icon reimagined for today in VST2, VST3, AAX, and AU plug-in formats.
Regarded in many high-end studios as a benchmark, Harrison studio consoles are known for their super-smooth and musical EQ, filters and intuitive workflow. Capturing Harrison’s classic console sound, the plug-in features a new Drive control for adding harmonic saturation based on the original console’s Jensen transformer-coupled mic preamp. Additionally, the 32Classic plug-in boasts a four-band parametric EQ section and full dynamics processing, with three compression modes and an Emphasis knob joining the High-Pass and Low-Pass Filters of the original.
Based on the original console’s Jensen JT-MB-CPCA transformer-coupled mic preamp, the Drive control adds warm harmonic saturation to tracks. Additionally, the plug-in’s four-band parametric EQ offers a proportional Q, providing versatile, musical results on nearly all instruments and sounds. Switching between Shelf and Bell mode on the high and low bands, the overlapping mid-bands can be used to sculpt sound. 32Classic Plug-in features High-Pass and Low-Pass Filters, which range from 25Hz to 3.15kHz, and 160Hz to 20kHz respectively, providing a wide range of control from extreme to subtle.
The 32Classic plug-in’s fully featured compressor offers three types of compression and a sidechain filter with a sweepable frequency and a ‘listen’ function. The three modes include Comp, which provides highly versatile, traditional VCA-style compression; Level, which offers a smooth gain reduction for subtly taming dynamics; and Limit, a fast-acting, aggressive style of compression perfect for adding punch and energy to tracks. The Emphasis control gives a more ‘vintage style’ of compression, reacting to louder sounds more quickly and resulting in a smoother character. As on the original console, the 32Classic plug-in’s Gate/Expander gain-reduction metering offers instant visual feedback. The routing section readily rearranges the processing order of the Gate/Expander, Compressor and EQ.
