Want to capture the legendary warmth, cohesive glue, and speed of mixing on a world-class analog console? In this standalone masterclass, Jake from Harrison Consoles dives deep into the Harrison 32Classic Channel Strip. This plugin emulates the iconic microphone preamp and famous four-band parametric EQ sections from Harrison's classic 3232 console—the exact board architecture behind some of the biggest records in music history.
Jake demonstrates how stacking multiple instances of this unified channel strip lets you speed up your decision-making workflow across an entire mix down. Watch as he stress-tests the proportional Q curves on a drum bus, drives the mic pre emulation for musical tube-style saturation, and tweaks the built-in expander/gate to isolate snappy transients. Finally, Jake applies the integrated leveling compressor to the entire mix bus to show how effortlessly it gels a track together.
▼ KEY WORKFLOW FEATURES COVERED:
● Proportional Curve EQ: A beautifully musical equalizer design where subtle boosts remain wide, but aggressive boosts automatically notch and narrow for pinpoint accuracy.
● Musical Mic Pre Drive: Overloading the modeled input stage delivers a warm, guitar-amp-like level of distortion that acts as transparent compression.
● Fully Independent Expansion & Gating: Shave off background noise by a gentle amount as a soft expander, or plunge it down to 60dB of total silence using standard gating.
● Three-Tier Dynamics Engine: Instantly switch between subtle leveling, traditional compression, or hard limiting to shape any performance type.
