Nashville, Tennessee, USA – 13 August – Harrison Audio today announces 32Classic Channel Strip V2, a major update to its acclaimed channel strip plug-in. Combining the sound, character, and workflow of Harrison's legendary 3232 and 32Classic large-format analog consoles with native SSL 360° and UC1 integration, V2 delivers enhanced processing features, streamlined workflows, and expanded creative control for today's producers and engineers.
Designed for modern production workflows while preserving the unmistakable Harrison sound, 32Classic Channel Strip V2 introduces powerful new dynamics tools, advanced sidechain options, workflow enhancements, and seamless integration with the SSL 360° and U Series ecosystem. Whether mixing in the box or working with the UC1 Plug-In Controller, users can dial in their sound faster and more precisely while staying focused on creativity.
A headline feature of 32Classic Channel Strip V2 is full support for SSL 360° and the UC1 Plug-In Controller. UC1 delivers an authentic console-style workflow, providing hands-on control of channel strip plug-ins directly from the hardware surface. With V2, users can insert the plug-in directly into their DAW and instantly access it from the SSL 360° Plug-In Mixer without requiring the SSL 360° Link plug-in. The result is a faster, more direct workflow that allows engineers to move seamlessly between software and hardware while maintaining focus on the mix. 32Classic Channel Strip V2 introduces a dedicated 360° skin, designed specifically around the UC1 control surface. Control layouts mirror familiar channel strip workflows, helping users work naturally and efficiently.
Longtime Harrison users are equally well supported by the inclusion of a Legacy Skin, which preserves the original plug-in layout and workflow for a familiar mixing experience.
Enhanced Processing Features for Modern Workflows
While preserving the super-smooth sound and sonic character of the original plug-in, 32Classic Channel Strip V2 introduces several new features designed for today's production environments.
The compressor section now includes Auto-Gain to help maintain consistent output levels as compression settings are adjusted, alongside a new Compressor Mix control for simple, effective parallel compression. An Emphasis Listen mode has also been added, allowing users to audition the compressor's emphasis filter directly.
Dynamics processing has been expanded with support for external sidechain inputs, enabling external signals to control the gate, compressor, or both. Dedicated sidechain monitoring options provide clear visibility of sidechain sources and processing behavior.
The new 360° skin additionally introduces Channel Fader, Pan, Width, Solo, and Cut controls, providing deeper integration within the SSL 360° and UC1 ecosystem.
