Lookahead Compressor

The Harrison Lookahead compressor brings unprecedented power to manage unpredictable dynamics in challenging sources like acoustic guitar, full mixes and live vocals. The lookahead algorithm is able to see into the future, letting it get ahead of sudden changes in volume to transparently control them. With the Harrison Lookahead compressor, you can confidently tame the most extreme dynamics.

Lookahead Algorithm Anticipates Changes

The magic of the Harrison Lookahead compressor lies in its predictive lookahead algorithm. It's able to look into the future of the input signal and see dynamic changes before they occur. This gives it time to transparently control fast transients and unpredictible dynamics. You get smooth, natural-sounding compression even on challenging material. Acoustic guitar, dense mixes and erratic vocals are no match for the lightning-fast lookahead technology.

Intuitive Controls With Visual Feedback

Compressing dynamic sounds is made simple with the Harrison Lookahead compressor's intuitive controls. Easily set the threshold, ratio, knee curve and makeup gain. The calibrated input and gain reduction meters let you visualize what's happening, giving you greater precision. You'll know exactly how much compression is being applied at every moment. The meters are clear and accurate, taking the guesswork out of dialing in the right settings.

Zero-History Release Time

The Zero-History release time is an invaluable asset when dealing with unpredictable audio. It allows you to set fast release times without introducing audible distortion, pumping or other compression artifacts. You can compress aggressively without compromising sound quality, even on rapidly changing dynamics. The release responds precisely to the input signal at every instant thanks to the zero-history design. This makes the Harrison Lookahead compressor versatile enough to handle the most demanding compression tasks.

Tame Extreme Dynamics

If you've tried compressors in the past but struggled to control fast transients and unpredictable dynamics, the Harrison Lookahead compressor is the answer. Its intelligent algorithm anticipates sudden changes in volume before they occur. This lets you transparently smooth out uneven levels and add punch to your audio. Vocals gain consistency, acoustic instruments have rich tone and mixes sound focused. The Harrison Lookahead compressor gives you the sonic control you need.
