SSL X-ValveComp
At first glance, the SSL X-ValveComp resembles other workhorse compressors, with all the features you would expect: Threshold, Ratio, Knee, Attack, Release, and Hold controls; sidechain with highpass and lowpass filters; and makeup gain control. However, switch it into valve mode, and it's an entirely different animal, brimming with rich second-order harmonics and creamy vintage flavor. Use the X-ValveComp's Mix knob to operate it in parallel directly on the track you're processing without having to send it to a separate bus, à la New York-style compression — a favorite technique of engineers at Sweetwater. Squash your drums, bass, or vocals for extra heft, and tuck the processed signal underneath the original track to preserve transients and articulation. Full of character and grit, the X-ValveComp is the perfect tool for adding depth and impact to your mix.
Harrison Mastering EQ
The Harrison Mastering EQ is a high-fidelity, 31-band equalizer based on Harrison's XTool plug-in for digital consoles. Loaded with Harrison's revolutionary filter shape for ultra-precise operation, this feature-packed plug-in includes highpass and lowpass filters, a level trim, and momentary bypass controls. You'll appreciate how this plug-in's cutting-edge DSP curve-match yields a flat top across adjacent bands with zero discrete peaks and valleys. You also get an RTA analyzer with Graph and Lightning modes. The Harrison Mastering EQ is the perfect tool for applying a specific tonal balance to a mix without creating drastic changes in its overall sonic character.
