Harrison AVA Multiband Compressor Review: Part 2

admiralbumblebee.com

Harrison Consoles' AVA Multiband Compressor may have had a stroke of serendipitous brilliance in its initial malfunction, but the recent fix has muddled its functionality. While the plugin operates as a dynamic equalizer rather than a true multiband compressor, this shift offers a transparent processing option that some may prefer. However, the misleading gain reduction meters and unclear signal flow can frustrate users seeking precision. The reviewer appreciates the cleverness of keeping the original “broken” mode but laments the overall design, which feels less innovative than expected. It’s a mixed bag: a useful tool for some, yet a disappointment for those hoping for a straightforward multiband compressor experience.
