In this episode, I'll be discussing how i use channel strips to enhance and speed up my workflow.
We'll be checking out the new @HarrisonAudio 32C Channel Strip, and there may or may not be a guest appearance by a rather elusive native REAPER channel strip!

A video on building the stock channel strip would be cool.
Sum channel 2 for the win!!!!!!! 😆😁
I use it all the time
My free channel strips is:
1- IVGI 2 (klanghelm)
2 - Slickeq or Nova (TDR)
3 - SonEq (Sonimus)
4 - DC1a (Klanghelm) or Molotok (TDR)
5 - Frontier (D16)
The Variety of Sound channel strip Nasty VCS and Channev (Analog Obsession) are great free option too.
I think I liked the Amek one the most actually, would be interesting to try a blind test.
Your Reaper channel strip gave me an idea, do a similar "cut down" container based channel strip, with a mix of native Reaper and airwindows plugins
Your custom-made channel strip did pretty good. Still a shade below the Harrison for making the sound jump out at the listener.
Guys, I have checked this new Harrison mix bus on Plugin Doctor and the EQ curve is the same as a digital EQ in this case I use F6-RTA. I matched the curve of the Harrison mix bus with F6-RTA just by using my eyes and it's no difference. So I concluded that:
1. This new Harrison doesn't emulate real analog distortion (its distortion sounds just like stock distortion)
2. Its EQ is the same as Pro Q3 or F6-RTA, any digital EQ.
Just my review, on this if you are about to buy it you could reconsider.
PSP make great sounding stuff. Dope shootout dude
Love your track, it sounds like violence
I also like the jam! Great stuff!
pretty good sound that
PSP sounded the best, Harrison was decent though.
Reaper is the GOAT DAW.
I dig the music, can you post the whole track?
I've been using Tukan's SumChannel S2 and have really liked it. The price is right too!
To do a multitrack recording for rehearsals, I can highly recommend it. You can practice mixing every time. We are lucky to have a room where everything is set up. Just boot the PC and we're ready to go. I generally don't use channelstrips. I simply chain plugins as I need them.
That was great!
Thanks for reminding me that the Harrison Classic Channel strip is included in my Plugin SSL/Harrison/Slate Complete subscription, and haven't really put it through its paces yet. I've got a mix I'm going to use them on today. Great video explanation of what you like about and I agree about channel strips bing a nice way to pack most everything you need on that channel. I've bee leaning a lot on the Lindell "80 Series Channel" in my Plugin-Alliance sub lately and it's a beautiful way to go. I like that you can skip to the next channel within the plugin that you have on another insert in your DAW. It's a nice way to jump parts your working on without having to close out the plugin, go to the other channel and open up that other instance.
Love to standardized the tools. Makes life a little easier💨
Thank you Myk, and I really like your band !
Thanks
nice style and production values
Enjoyed the music bro.
I like the BX
Eee.. I do like what the PSP is doing. And from my brief test last night, I like the EQ on the Harrison strip. Regardless, great comparison. Thanks for sharing the knowledge! ✌ Sidenote.. I myself have taken a dive into incorporating more stock plugins (Logic Pro X) into my workflow in lieu of cutting some subscriptions and narrowing down the toolset.
Amek 9099 sounds pretty good , Ik white channel sounds pretty awful .. Great comparison
Well for the REAPER channel, got say it ain't happening. Flat and anemic sounding. I skipped to the same part being played cycling through the plugs and the biggest, obvious difference was Reapers compared to all, where all the 3rd party strips sounded more similar. The AMEK and Harrison were what I'd choose at least in that order. At least the retained the high end and mids better than the Reaper fog channel. Cool video
Wow, The Harrison strip sounds great, as does the strip you built with the Reaper plugins. Right now I'm still favoring The PSP maybe because i really am becoming familar with it. But it is always nice to know about options. Thanks Myk!!
Since we are recording drums almost every weekend I set up my own presets in my drum template. That way at least for my son’s kit I have a base.
For me ..
1. PSp- neutral rounded sound.
2. Amek- pumping effect.
3. 32c- natural sound - dips on the midst.
4. Cs- 5501 - sounds very vca style compression is all over the place..
Team channel strip for life .
Team Tukan! Gonna have to put Sum Channel through its paces
Did you try the John Mathews (Tukan Studios) new Sum channel S2 channel strip?
I will have to. The people have spoken!
Excellent Topic! (Worth a revisit ie Channel Strips and Why etc.). Another great question is WHICH plugin would you use B4 mix/recording, ie Tracking.......? I agree on the Tukan S2 (Very excellent tool, lacking a little in parameter width....BUT who wants to infringe on licenses.....(Great work by Mathews). Also, I recently purchased 32C because I want to bring tools to different DAWs sometimes beyond Reaper and Tukan lives only in my Reaps! - Great Vid! One final thought: As someone who switched away from PC, MAC to Linux, I appreciate Reaper, Harrison, Uhe etc. etc. for making these plugs available to the now burgeoning LINUX audio world.....Cheers! Also great Music!
I use Softube Console 1 for all this
TBF, Worral (and Paul Third) were both talking about the Harrison +Channel Strip+ (VST), NOT the actual Harrison DAW (Mixbus).
+MY understanding" is that there's no 'flavor' in the strip, but there's definitely flavor in the actual DAW.
The flavor of the daw is probably just a waveshaper
@@Rhuggins probably? So you don't know.
Its an old video on the old 32C channel. The DAW flavor is from the tape saturation and now there is the Jensen transformer on the input on the new versions of Harrison Mixbus.
This new channel strip is the 32Classic channel. Dan Worrall has not used this one or made a video about this one. This is a new channel strip.
@@vigilantestylez I'm talking about Mixbus. No I dont know, but it would be easily testable. Given their shady history and ad hominem BS attacks on Dan Worrall "show your face", I very much doubt their rigor and integrity with regard to analog modelling. This plugin particular was made in collaboration with SSL and I'm sure its at least decent
Analog Obsession has some nice channel strips also
the PSP ws the best sounding ... the others were muddy sounding, the harrison was second but not a close second. < J
SSL Native is the GOAT
Heck, I forgot I own that... Will have to reinstall on the new PC and test
Didn't know Ronaldinho was into audio? All jokes asside, PSP Infinistrip won for my ears followed by Harrison
I'm a fan of the notion that you can get a richer (more complex?) 'sound' by using different EQs, compressors, etc. on different tracks.
Strips are obv. way faster BUT I think +I'd+ be losing something (a diversity of eq curves and compression colors) by using them.
That being said.. that Tukan strip DOES look pretty enticing, lol.
Brainworx TMT does just that. It makes every channel slightly different, so you get both efficiency and variety.
@@sparella Ya, thank you (sincerely).. i'm familiar. I'm sure that works fine but I still like the IDEA of different EQ's.
Even with a TMT EQ, I'm "stuck" with the same (repetitive) curves.
All in all, I'm 99.9% positive that the differences are inaudible - esp. w/ my monitoring. BUT I'm kind of an idiot, lol.
Infinistrip & it's not even close
Hey Myk, Trying to figure out a way to reach you. I just got tracks back from a drummer for a song I'm working on. I have 5 different sets of tracks from two different kits and trying to figure out the best way to set this up in Reaper to create a comp without losing my mind. Just wanted to know if I could pay you for a 30 minute consult to help me get this set up. If you're interested, let me know the best way to reach you without you posting private info on YT. I checked pro mix academy and don't see a contact form. Thanks
Hello! There should be a link in the description for my Discord server. Feel free to DM me there after joining (it's free to join).
It may be tomorrow afternoon before I respond, though. I'm off to bed and have some filming to do during the day tomorrow.
Thanks for reaching out!
Wth! I did same track in 2008
@@mrmorpheus9707 🤣 not really a fan of modern metalcore, etc. seems most of what comes out of me and my bandmates has an old school flavor
What? No SumChannel by Tukan?? I call foul!!
He already scolded me on Discord 🥹
Amek all day. Nothing comes close.
Gotta say the TBProAudio strip did not sound nice on the transients
May well be my settings, though. I am far from a professional 🥹
To my ears, the Harrison set the standard and none of the others matched it. Most were "muddy-ish" in comparison.
I got 3 or 4...but barely use them. *gives Myk a coffee mug* ☕
