SSL X-Echo and Harrison MPC Spectral Compressor Bundle is a collection of two powerful and essential mixing plug-ins. The SSL X-Echo is an effects unit inspired by the early tape delay hardware of the 60s and 70s. The Harrison MPC Spectral Compressor is a highly versatile dynamics processor that has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the most discerning professionals in the film and post-production industries. Bring the gloriously warm sound of vintage tape to your productions. X-Echo models soft compression hiss and tape degradation with meticulous attention to detail. Combined with SSls renowned saturation and LF/HF EQ as well as advanced waveform visualisation built-in De-Esser and delay Width control X-Echo features a brand-new SSL reverb design that is capable of achieving both subtle and massive spaces all via a single Diffusion control. Derived from Harrisons renowned MPC consoles this powerful tool guarantees unparalleled accuracy when it comes to mastering your mix. Featuring 18 spectral bands of dynamic range control the Spectral Compressor allows you to meticulously sculpt the sound of each band individually or make global adjustments to the overall tone of your mix. Whether youre aiming to smooth out harsh frequencies enhance the low end or add brightness to the highs this compressor can handle it all with ease. Please Note: This product comes in the form of a digital download code that will be sent to your email for activation.
SSL X-Echo The Visualiser At the heart of X-Echos intuitive design is the visualiser. The visualiser captures up to four seconds of an input signal so that you can see how the waveforms overlap and interact. This is particularly useful when working with transient material like drums and seeing how the delayed signals interact with your original signal. To capture a signal in the visualiser simply move your DAW playhead to any section of audio and press play. Delay type and tone Offering up to four tape heads that can be switched into the signal path X-Echo offers plenty of versatility and a varied palette of delay tones. Just like the real thing these tape heads are at intervals of the main tape head: 3/4 1/2 and 1/4. Take direct control over tone with a comprehensive range of parameters such as Wow and Flutter pitch variation emulating the mechanical components of a tape machine. Freeze the contents of the tape loop causing the signal to repeat and slowly degrade. Kill the input to the tape machine and allow the tail to die off musically. Adjust the number of repeats emulated by the tape machine with Feedback. Feedback greater than 100 causes self-oscillation for the creation of crazy sounds. Saturation introduces analog saturation characteristics such as soft clipping. A single knob de-esser can soften the sibilant frequencies that tape machines commonly accentuate. Switch the tape delay into a true ping-pong mode for stereo space and width. As well as all this X-Echo offers a brand-new reverb design that lets you blend through different room types and sizes with a Diffusion parameter. There are plenty more tone development parameters to create unique and interesting delay sounds. For example a simplified EQ and mid-side processor let you carve a space for the delay to sit precisely within your mix by boosting or cutting bass and treble frequencies in your signal. Furthermore the mid-side processor goes from mono to stereo to super wide. Time modes There are a few ways to control how your delay relates to the timing of your mix. The overall delay of the initial tape head can either be controlled within the visualiser or using the tape speed knob. Furthermore Snap mode allows you to quickly set the delay time to a time division such as crochet or dotted quaver. Finally when sync is enabled the BPM of X-Echo follows your DAW. Harrison MPC Spectral Compressor Threshold control Fine-tune your audio compression with the Harrison MPC Spectral Compressors Threshold control. This slider located next to the input meter allows you to set the level at which the compression effect starts to take place. With a range of -60 to 0 dB you have precise control over when the compression kicks in ensuring your audio remains clean and balanced. Frequency range selection Tailor your compression to specific frequency bands with the Frequency Range section of the Harrison MPC Spectral Compressor. By selecting the desired range such as Low Mid High or even Full Range you can focus the 18 compressor bands on a particular part of the audio spectrum. This level of control allows for more precise adjustments ensuring your audio shines in the desired frequency range. Depth controls Customize the depth of your audio compression with the Harrison MPC Spectral Compressors Depth controls. The Knee value determines the slope at which the compression is applied allowing you to choose between a Hard Knee (abrupt activation) or a Soft Knee (gradual activation) compression style. Adjust the Knee value from 1 to 30 to achieve the desired compression effect. Output trim Fine-tune your output level with the Output Trim feature of the Harrison MPC Spectral Compressor. With a range of -10 dB to +10 dB you can easily increase or decrease the level of the compressed output signal to match your desired gain compensation. This versatility ensures that your final audio output is perfectly balanced and suits your specific requirements. Gain reduction graph Visualize the impact of your compression with the Gain Reduction Graph of the Harrison MPC Spectral Compressor. This graph provides a clear representation of the gain reduction applied across the frequency spectrum. The Reduction curve displayed in red shows the amount of gain reduction applied at different frequencies. The Input curve shown in orange-yellow represents the level of the input signal. This visual feedback allows you to monitor and adjust your compression settings with precision resulting in a professional and polished audio output.
