TC Electronics harmony 4 any good?

[fjo]

I am getting a voucher from TC for buying a Powercore.

I wanted to know if any users have experience with Harmony 4?

Also, I own VSS3 and Nonlin2 already. I'm wondering if anyone with experience can comment on the viability of adding Fabric R or the DVR verb to my arsenal.

Thanks!

It has it's uses. To me, most of them are synthetic-putting it pre-reverb for example, or using it similar to how most people use the MicroPitchShift on the Eventide series although a different beast to be sure. Also cool for stuff like the hook in Elbow's Any Day Now ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPhhu4YxiE4 ).

This is also great for a greenhorn vocalist or producer than might be fishing for a harmony they can't think of or have never heard before (during the writing/demo stage). I wouldn't expect it to replace a good group of session background singers, but it can work in demo situations.


DVr2 is stellar. The Tube tech CL-1b is useable, but disappointing if you are used to using the hardware unit with larger amounts of gain reduction. I'd def get those 1st.
