![]() ![]() don't use the plugin manager, as this only seems to recognize the Harrison plugs that come resident with the program. Getting it to recognize plugs took a little bit of doing at first. Plugs that are not recognized, or those that are recognized with the caveat that there may be difficulty in using them, are put on a "blacklist" so that the program doesn't continue to scan these every time the program is booted up. The program even puts up a warning window in reference to the vst scanner, saying that crashes upon first use of the scanner are common and even to be expected. (I am using an Athlon dual core 2.2 ghz, running Windows XP Pro, with 2 gig ram available, and so far I haven't encountered any issues). I've been pushing it, and have yet to get it to freeze up or crash. It's smooth in its translation and action of commands and settings. Not too sensitive, like a lot of plugs where if you barely breathe on them the sound changes dramatically, but not too clunky where you have to make serious alterations and crank sh*t up to +20 to even hear a minor difference. I found the various parameter controls and settings to be very similar to that of an older console. Hell, you could drop a lot more than $40 on a tape emulation or decent GR processor plug alone, never mind an entire platform that gives you access to these processors at both the track and bus levels. I like the way the per channel EQ sounds and the built in channel compressor/limiter/leveler does exactly what you would expect it to do, without a lot of fussing around. ![]() Certainly for the money, and maybe even better than just for the money, they sound very good. The built in GR processing and tape saturation sections on the track level, as well as on the master 2-bus, are nice. If you are from the old school and like the layout of a classic console, you'll probably like the GUI on this. apparently it will not work within XP Home Edition.) There is also a version for Mac and Linux.Ībsolutely what it claims - a GUI very reminiscent of working on an older analog desk. (I'm using it in a Windows environment, XP Pro. ![]()
