Built in shelving looks great for sculpting space in a mix.
I’ve been looking at the Scheps 73 by Waves because it can do Mid/Side split in it’s EQ - but it doesn’t look as featured as the Harrison. Any other nice channel strips you can recommend for some analog simulation?
not really channel strips… buuut…
there couple of airwindows gems… (tape, studio tan, channel9, mackity) toneboosters reelbus…
saturation module in TDR Limiter scream in reason 11/12 (and previous versions)
built-in tape sat within busses in mixbus(32c)
Combining components can give you a lot flexibility… for example airwindows point is one of the most awesome transient shapers - often overlooked!!
PSP has great stuff… Slate tape machines as well… really there are a lot of plugins to choose from…
I tend to use only built-in stuff lately… Bitwig(distortion device, bit-8 with saturation engaged), Renoise, Reason, Mixbus (XT plugins, tape sat). Because most of time i catch myself testing XY plugin instead of making music… and it lasted for a lot of time…
sorry but obviously i’m not good at explaining things…message me if i can help further!
