Default Harrison 32c Channel plugin for $49

Hi guys,

Harrison Mixbus is now selling their console channel strip as a plugin, it is on sale at the moment for $49.

Here's the Blurb:

The new Harrison 32C Channel provides a "greatest hits" collection of features from Harrison's analog console heritage and our Mixbus workstation.

Features:
Legendary Harrison 32C four-band parametric equalizer with proportional Q... bell and shelving curves on the high and low bands... and musical overlapping midrange bands.
32C High Pass and Low Pass filters … with a BUMP button that recreates the slight resonance of the classic console ... providing low end punch.
Harrison's innovative compressor with three different characters: classic compression; vocal leveling; and fast limiting. Those 3 quick presets help you to recreate the most sought-after signature compression effects with minimal effort.
The signal path through the 32C Channel Plugin can be arranged via the routing section, providing the optimum signal flow for your project. You can quickly audition any processor, or combination of processors, in the chain.
Input and output level controls are provided along with a VU style output meter for critical level management throughout.

Here's the link to download the demo
https://harrisonconsolesstore.onfast...nnel-installer

Here's the link to buy the plugin
https://harrisonconsolesstore.onfast...hannel-license

I think this is a great one for us who don't have many options of this type in Linux.

I've never gotten the draw to plugins like these where they put multiple FX in one VST. Even way back when I was still running Windows and could buy lots of different "Channel" plugins, I never bought or thought I wanted one. Each plugin I add is added to address some specific thing, so I've always just added plugins as I actually needed them.

That said, Harrison does make some nice plugins. I use their AVA Mastering EQ on my sub-master all the time.

It all comes from the console days, lots of people still love the SSL & API style channel strips so there's a market for them. The theory is that's the old school of mixing and that one plugin that provides multiple functions consumes less resources.

Having said that this channel strip sounds great, I use it in Mixbus.

If it uses less resources, that's a big plus.

If you put an instance of it by itself on a track, then look at REAPER's Performance Meter, how much PDC does it show? That would be a real important one for me.

Any of you guys install 32c Channel plugin? It doesn't go well on Manjaro. It ends up in the "Plugins that failed to scan". I emailed Harrison but no answer yet. The install.sh doesn't work either. I copied the .so file into /home/me/.vst no luck. Then to /usr/lib/lxvst as it says in the textfile. No luck.

You might be missing a dependency. Try ldd (filename) in the directory of the file, to see what dependencies it requires and if you have them installed.

If this is a VST3 or LV2 plugin, you're required to leave the directory structure of the plugin as it is. For instance there would be a folder named Plugin.lv2 and inside there would be the .so file and some .ttl files. For VST3 (other than legacy VST3) there would be a folder named Plugin.vst3 and inside it a folder named Contents, in that a folder named x86_64-linux, and then in that the .so file. Leave these directory structures as they are; don't just take out the .so files and put them in your LV2 and VST3 directories.

Also be sure you have your LV2 and VST3 directories separate (don't mix plugin types), and point Reaper to each directory in the preferences dialog.

Appears to be a VST2, and just copying it to my .vst/harrison folder made it work.

Oh, and in answer to my own question earlier about PDC, it rings in at ZERO on track three, the vocal sub.

Glad to help. I think that was missing in my default Manjaro install too, and I needed to install it for another plugin.

It does what it's supposed to do. I removed three FX from my vocal bus and was able to quickly arrive at the same sound I had before using the Harrison channel plugin. That said, using ReaEQ and ReaComp like I normally do isn't much different for me, but if you like channel plugins, this one is decent.

For native Linux compression and tone shaping, U-He's Presswerk is the coolest thing available. Takes a good bit of time to understand how to make it do some of the really slick things, but that's due to the different paradigm of its controls. Things like making a high pass version of the signal expand as the full range signal compresses.
