MPC Compressor

The Harrison MPC compressor brings the processing power of high-end recording consoles to your DAW. With the MPC Console compressor, you get a suite of professional features to shape dynamics with musicality and precision.

Visualize Compression in Real Time

The scrolling history graph is an invaluable visual tool that lets you see exactly how compression is affecting your signal. Watch the graph update in real time as the compressor engages, displaying a visual record of gain reduction over time. This intuitive display makes it easy to monitor the compressor's action and dial in the perfect settings.

Retain Punch and Prevent Over-Compression

Specialized controls like Depth, Knee and Program allow you to customize compression while retaining punch and avoiding over-compression. The Depth control sets a ceiling for maximum gain reduction so you can use aggressive settings without crushing transients. Soft Knee compression progressively increases the ratio as the signal gets louder for smooth, natural dynamics. Program mode keeps the compressor ready for the next peak instead of fully decaying, perfect for signals with wide dynamic range.

Sculpt Compressor Character

The sidechain EQ lets you hone in on exactly which frequencies will trigger compression. Boost highs to control harshness or remove lows keep the kick and bass full. Use a bell curve to isolate problem frequencies. The seven EQ shapes provide endless options to create modern, vintage or otherworldly compressor sounds.

Maximum Flexibility

Feed any external signal into the sidechain input to control compression. Use a different track like vocals as the key input to create ducking effects. Enable Sidechain Listen to monitor the sidechain signal. Along with the scrolling history, the external sidechain takes your compression creativity into uncharted territory.
