Harrison Audio has updated its 32Classic Channel Strip to version 2, with the big change being native integration with SSL\u2019s 360\u00b0 software and the UC1 Plug-In Controller. The plug-in models the sound of Harrison\u2019s 3232 and 32Classic consoles (the Nashville desks behind plenty of records since the mid-\u201970s) and V2 keeps that character while adding hands-on hardware control.<\/p>\n
Catch up on all the latest news\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n Highlights<\/p>\n Native SSL 360\u00b0 and UC1 integration \u2013 appears in the 360\u00b0 Plug-In Mixer automatically, no 360\u00b0 Link plug-in required Once it\u2019s in a DAW session, the plug-in shows up in the SSL 360\u00b0 Plug-In Mixer on its own, with no 360\u00b0 Link plug-in needed, so UC1 owners get console-style control from the surface. A dedicated 360\u00b0 skin matches that layout and adds channel fader, pan, width, solo and cut controls. There\u2019s also a Legacy skin that keeps the original layout for anyone who\u2019d rather not change how they mix.<\/p>\n The compressor adds Auto-Gain, which holds the output level steady as you adjust the compression, plus a Compressor Mix control for easy parallel compression. An Emphasis Listen mode allows you to hear the compressor\u2019s emphasis filter on its own. Dynamics now take an external sidechain as well, feeding the gate, the compressor or both from another source, with monitoring to track what\u2019s driving what. Preset save and recall, A\/B comparison, undo and redo, an HQ mode for final mixes, a rescaleable interface and built-in help links round out the update. V1 sessions open in V2 with settings and automation intact.<\/p>\n Existing 32Classic Channel Strip owners get V2 free. It\u2019s out now, with separate offers for SSL hardware owners and Complete Access subscribers through the SSL store<\/a>.<\/p>\n
