Harrison MPC Spectral Compressor Standard

The Harrison MPC Spectral compressor gives you unprecedented tone-sculpting capabilities thanks to its 18 spectral compression bands. Derived from Harrison's acclaimed film and post-production consoles, the MPC Spectral compressor provides exceptional precision when mastering your mixes. Whether you want to smooth out harsh tones, boost low frequencies, add sheen to the highs or anything in between, the MPC Spectral Compressor can handle it.

Create Artistic Sounds

At the heart of the MPC Spectral Compressor are 18 compression bands distributed across the frequency range you select. For example, choose "Mid" and all 18 bands will focus on the critical midrange, letting you hone in on problem frequencies. The intuitive depth sliders below the graph set the maximum gain reduction for their three corresponding bands. Dial in just the right amount of compression where you need it.

Control Dynamics With a Master Threshold

The master threshold sets the input level where compression kicks in across all bands. Set it between -60 and 0dB to start smoothing out peaks or evening out dynamics. The knee control determines how quickly compression is applied once the signal passes the threshold. Set a low knee for more abrupt compression or try a high knee for gradual smoothing.

Visualize Processing With the Gain Reduction Graph

The gain reduction graph provides a clear visualization of compression across the spectrum so you can see exactly how the MPC is affecting your tone. The reduction curve appears above the input curve, showing the amount of gain reduction at each frequency. Get visual feedback to help shape your sound.

Trim the Output for Balanced Gain Staging

The MPC Spectral compressor includes an output trim control to balance levels post-compression. Boost or attenuate the output signal from -10dB to +10dB for proper gain staging. Whether you're polishing a mix or enhancing individual tracks, the MPC Spectral compressor brings surgical dynamics processing and professional tone-shaping to your studio.
