YOU'RE NEVER GONNA BELIEVE THIS! - HARRISON MPC

[@sburton84]

When you said there was something coming up with a ridiculous price I knew it was going to be this 🤣 Harrison are also the company that claimed their 32c Console plugin "meticulously modelled" all the analogue hardware components, only for Dan Worrall's testing to find that it's a completely characterless digital EQ no different from any DAW stock EQ.

[@StudioLife101]

@@sburton84 That was a great Dan Worrell moment...👍

And then lonely rocker said he didn't show his face So it didn't count! I love lonely rocker but that was such a special moment for everyone

[@pelennorDSP]

@@IntheDAW Lonely Rocker has since removed that video from his channel (or I can't find it anyway), he must have copped some backlash I suspect. Harrison are proving themselves to be "snake oil" personified.

[@RealHomeRecording]

Well in that case I suppose I'll be sticking with acustica Honey for the 32c sound.

[@Mansardian]

​@@RealHomeRecording Oh Hi Adam!😊 But doesn't the whole backpack acustica comes with bother you? I think recreating the character of that EQ in MXXX makes more sense to me. 🤷🏻

Was Streaky involved in the pricing decision?

[@jbva804]

That's some serious poundage. 💰 Dan's head was about to go into orbit. 😂

[@DaveChips]

For £799... Id expected it's so CPU efficient, I could load 100 instances for 1-2% cpu usage 😅

Thank you for giving me hope that not all of the world has gone mad... edit: Oh god, "Yeah, but what about the plugin?" was brilliant, thank you for the laugh :)

[@TomTaylorMade]

I was really excited by ssl plugins when I discovered them a year or so ago and picked up a bunch in a sale. They’re all sitting in my ‘slept on’ plugin folder. I sometimes use the x-limit, for no latency limiting when tracking and arranging, but I’m not even convinced it’s a mastering limiter, and the manual doesn’t really help either. This one is frankly insulting. Quite happy to get back to hoarding UAD plugins (ssl channel E native) is super exciting compared to the ssl offering (with ssl 360 sitting in the background stealing cpu). Rant over! back to shouting at the clouds for me ;)

[@effectsworks2106]

LOOL I've been mixing indie films (including dialogue) for a few years now. And YOU certainly don't need anything like that. Great review guys!

[@fcmas]

This is absolutely insane

[@AironExTv]

The most interesting bit about this channel strip is the automatable routing. If that can save you a significant amount of time during sound-for-picture mixing, it's worth $100. Other than that, even the denoising is fine elsewhere. And I have the AVA DeEsser, which is built in to this strip. Fine unit, but I'll keep my Fabfilter Pro-Q3, Pro-C2(and a dozen others I like to use), any denoiser I choose and all the deessers I may ever need. My dialogue tracks are more flexible this way. Aside from that the MPCD consoles had several other DSP tools and other advantages, such as automatable routing of tracks. It was like having a send to any other track on all tracks that you could switch in and out. The grouping of EQ(all or bands), sends, faders and more is the most flexible I've ever seen, even today. It's a decent strip, but it's not priced competitively. And it's not like they put everything they had on the MPCD in here, such as the compressor that has two interpolating setups, depending on the level of the incominbg dialogue.

Hi guys! Could you please do a review of DJ Swivel's new HitStrip plugin? It looks promising at first glance. Thank you! Cheers

[@ruudheadz7095]

Nutty price😮

[@VinnieDangerous]

$799 is INSANITY!

[@jemwand2530]

£199 would be totally retarded!

[@AironExTv]

It was actually $1500 when it came out. Oh dear, oh dear.

[@pelennorDSP]

If you wanted to look at a more reasonably priced channel strip, the Fuse VCS-1 is on deep discount atm, and it's zero latency, so good for people using it during tracking.

[@sicknoterecording]

Can't think of another company that tries any harder to cash in on its heritage. What utter bollocks. You read the Harrison web page and the continuous references to all the great albums that were apparently produced on their consoles- it wasn't the console it was the talent that happened to be using them at the time. End of story.

Someone say Harrison?

[@marksaxon_plays]

I mean anyone is daft if they buy a plugin at the MSRP. Plugin Alliance retail prices are $250-300 and then the plugin goes on sale for $25. I guess the thing I don't like about the Harrison plugins in general is how bland they are. Granted in movies, they don't want "warm, saturated tone boxes" but they seem to be no fun at all. Lol.

[@AirArtStudiosOfficial]

Like a dodgy marketplace in Thailand

[@KozmykJ]

The name Harrison still carries a certain lack of confidence after their earlier Channel Strip got caught out in Null Tests with regular Reaper Plugins ... no difference. I'm guessing that SSL took them over subsequent to that particular debacle, possibly a cut-price take over. SSL must reckon that the hit to their own rep might be worth the risk ?

[@AironExTv]

The workflow advantage is the deciding factor for me these days. I like using the Fabfilter Pro-Q3 and Pro-C2 because they offer me an alomost swiss-army-knife number solutions to problems. This Harrison strip is fine, but not at this price. Even $100 may be stretching it slightly, even though the deesser is pretty decent good for dialogue, and the routing is neat if you need to automate that.

[@mannismutter6601]

Plugin collectors can also collect shit and shit prices can rise extremely, don't forget that

[@azoteapost8734]

This one has a ver but very nice eq section. Especially for dialogue. Even for only that Doesn’t disappoints. The rta section is also fabulous, you have a lot options to work with. Obviously and obviously for 99. Not for 1500 like it was when it went out. But remember, in post the workflow is king. So if you mix faster, you get rewarded.

[@TomTaylorMade]

mix faster with that thing compared to smart eq 4, you’re having a laugh!

[@VinceJackson1]

Yeah Sonible is the king of linear stuff 😁 ​@@TomTaylorMade

[@jemwand2530]

The only thing that I can charitably gather from this is that they have condensed a digital channel strip, in order to make it more CPU friendly over high channel counts. To think it's worth 800 nicker is just SSL going on a cash grab... Nothing to see here, move along. Roll up, get your no longer alive celebrities here, minimal running costs, only 500 nicker a piece, cheaper than half a George Harrison from SSL...

[@steverachmadofficial]

[@TimDolbear]

Don't you work on the voices for these videos? There you go. I work in POST all day everyday. Its the opposite of working in music production. This is not a needed plugin. We don't need low CPU anymore as we do so much in Object/clip based editing. In a DAW the track count doesn't really matter anyway. Also, the NR section of the plugin is not really very good, I was disappointed, we have so many other tools we use for this. Also, I am guessing the list price is a joke to draw attention...
