The Solid State Logic X-ValveComp and Harrison Mastering EQ bundle offers two highly effective mastering tools: SSL's X-ValveComp and Harrison Mastering EQ.
The SSL X-ValveComp gives you plenty of control over your dynamic processing, along with fully adjustable harmonic flavoring that ensures your mix really pops.
Harrison Mastering EQ is a 31-band equalizer with many powerful features and transparent frequency sculpting that lets you shape your mix without completely altering your sound.
Mastering engineers need top-notch tools, and this bundle provides two must-have plugins you'll want to use on every project.
At first glance, the SSL X-ValveComp looks like other rugged compressors, with all the features you'd expect: Threshold, Ratio, Knee, Attack, Release, and Hold controls; sidechain with high-pass and low-pass filters; and makeup gain control.
However, switch to valve mode and it's a totally different animal, packed with rich second-order harmonics and creamy vintage flavor.
Use the X-ValveComp's Mix knob to run it in parallel directly on the track you're processing, without having to send it to a separate bus, a la New York-style compression.
Squeeze your drums, bass, or vocals for extra weight, and place the processed signal below the original track to preserve transients and articulation.
Full of personality and spunk, the X-ValveComp is the perfect tool for adding depth and impact to your mix.
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 format for ultra-precise operation, this feature-packed plug-in includes high-pass and low-pass filters, a level adjustment, and momentary bypass controls.
You 'll appreciate how this plug-in's state-of-the-art DSP curve matching produces a flat top on adjacent bands with zero discrete peaks and valleys.
You also get an RTA analyzer with Chart and Lightning modes. Harrison Mastering EQ is the perfect tool for applying a specific tonal balance to a mix without creating drastic changes to its overall sonic character.
