introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy mixer sounds much better than yours\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know that, and we all know that. But why? What are the key factors influencing this?
I claim that the two most important parameters are found in the pre-amps or in their behavior in the saturation range and in the EQs. In addition, if Pult A sounds better than Pult B, I clone the default EQ setting from Pult A to Pult B and the world looks a bit more the same. Of course, there are many other differentiating features in workflow, ergonomics, unique selling points in function, etc. ...but don't tell me that sounds better when the wire goes through 1:1! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I go on slandering for pages, let's get to the point here, EQs.
I learned from a real Harrison 32C and quickly developed a love of hate that only people who have experienced it understand. Accordingly, I also love the digital counterpart, the DAW Harrison Mixbus 32C. The Harrison EQ is so rudimentary that you could probably not implement it in the form in any other DAW without ridiculing the buyer class. Still, just turn it on somewhere and zack, it fits. In the same way it is often with desk differences, in the one you turn something and it fits in the other you twist a wolf. So it plays a role how to pre-parameterize the EQ!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I measured and cloned the Harrison Mixbus 32C Channel and Buss EQ for the Logic Channel EQ, Fabfilter Pro Q2 and Yamaha CL\/QL mixing consoles to use this very well-functioning pre-parameterization in other working environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

First of all, I have to find out what the Harrison EQ does. So briefly juice up a bit of DAW Routing Terror and the Smaart calculator. Quickly I determine with 3 measurements per band, you can forget that well-groomed. In addition to variable quality, application frequencies also change. So each band is measured at Fmin, Fmax and center frequency at minus maximum gain, -12, -9, -6, -3 and all this repeatedly at the positive values. If I had known that the whole 166 measurements and disgusting mouse frieze required, I would never have finished it, but sometimes you realize such a thing in delusion only afterwards. What these two babies do for an effort turns out later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
