Harrison Audio has updated the 32Classic Channel Strip V2 channel strip plug-in.
Replicating the sound, character and workflow of Harrison's 3232 and 32Classic large-format analogue consoles with native SSL 360° and UC1 integration, 32Classic Channel Strip V2 introduces powerful new dynamics tools, advanced sidechain options, workflow enhancements and integration with the SSL 360° and U Series controllers.
The update bring full support for SSL 360° and the UC1 Plug-In Controller. UC1 delivers an authentic console-style workflow, providing hands-on control of channel strip plug-ins directly from the hardware surface.
With V2, users can insert the plug-in directly into their DAW and instantly access it from the SSL 360° Plug-In Mixer without requiring the SSL 360° Link plug-in. The result is a faster, more direct workflow that allows engineers to move between software and hardware while maintaining focus on the mix.
32Classic Channel Strip V2 introduces a dedicated 360° skin, designed specifically around the UC1 control surface. Control layouts mirror familiar channel strip workflows, helping users work naturally and efficiently.
Long-time Harrison users are supported by the inclusion of a Legacy Skin, which preserves the original plug-in layout and workflow for a familiar mixing experience.
The compressor section now includes Auto-Gain to help maintain consistent output levels as compression settings are adjusted, alongside a new Compressor Mix control for simple, effective parallel compression. An Emphasis Listen mode has also been added, allowing users to audition the compressor's emphasis filter directly.
Dynamics processing has been expanded with support for external sidechain inputs, enabling external signals to control the gate, compressor or both. Dedicated sidechain monitoring options provide clear visibility of sidechain sources and processing behaviour.
The new 360° skin additionally introduces Channel Fader, Pan, Width, Solo, and Cut controls, providing deeper integration within the SSL 360° and UC1.
Key features:
- Preset Management:Save and recall preferred channel strip configurations.
- A/B Comparisons:Instantly compare different processing.
- HQ Processing Mode:Enhanced processing precision.
- Rescaleable GUI:Adapt the interface to suit any workspace.
- Integrated Documentation Links:Access help and product resources from the plug-in.
Harrison 32Classic Channel Strip V2 is available now with an MSRP of YS$149. Existing 32Classic Channel Strip V1 users are upgraded to V2 free of charge. The new version has been designed with full backward compatibility, allowing existing sessions to open correctly while preserving saved settings and automation data.
