Handcrafted Laboratories Varis review by Tommi Langen, Tape Over Mastering

Visuals by Jerkka Perälä, Soft Neon Audiovisual

”Varis is a modern classic. Or it should be, and I'm not the only one saying this. It can be found in numerous studios around the globe and Gena has done amazing upgrades to the first Varis, which was released over a decade ago.”

In Finnish "Varis" means crow. Black, loud and bringer of news. Suits you sir Gennadii Burzak!

Islander A/B Testing between hardware and plugin!

This has been requested for a while. A/B Testing between the Wavegrove version of HCL Islander and the original Handcrafted Laboratories Islander hardware unit.

Tested with two different songs;
Wanha - Sky is threshold
Sämpi Ensemble - Shore

Both songs include multiple settings, which are identically matched on both the hardware and the software version. The video switches between dry signal and the gain compensated versions of the compressed signals at changing intervals.

AAX sale still ongoing for the weekend!

Here you can find more demos and reviews - Islander has gained a lot of new users, but we still need you!

Some testimonials from our beloved users:

"This is an absolutely unique and superb plugin. You will not be able to duplicate it's action and mojo with other tools. Believe me when I say that I've tried! That alone makes it extremely valuable in my opinion."

Niklas Silèn, bManic, Mastering engineer
Beta testing as well presets amongst industry leaders such as Fabfilter,Tone Projects, DMG Audio, Tokyo Dawn Labs and many more

"HCL has been apart of my sound for a few years now, to have anything Gena makes as a plugin is beyond exciting. The Islander plugin delivers on everything you’d expect as a buss compressor. It’s even best out some of my favorite ITB comps for certain duties. I need more HCL plugins from Wavegrove…now. Lol"

Maged Khalil
Naughty Dog, Ms. Lauryn Hill, MF DOOM, Kool G Rap, and more

"Islander has become one of my absolute goto mastering compressors. This compressor brings so many things to the table in one plugin and it does them all with such pristine sonic quality. It easily adds solid weight and punch while at the same time bringing out the energy of a song. It adds glue without sounding overdone and just as importantly it brings out the best parts of the tone of the music in a way I can't get out of any other compressor."

https://youtu.be/TS10rtOciFc

Mark Wingfield, Heron Island Studio, Award winning mixing and mastering engineer

"I've had the honor to use Ukrainian HCL's gear for 17 years. When I first heard what Islander does to the sound, I had to open the old mixes and mix again. The compression is warm and withstands even harder pushing. A really good addition is the saturation, which I used to get the necessary brightness for the song without eq. Likewise, the clipper provides appropriate aggressiveness when needed. Islander will be an important tool in my mixing kit."

Mats Takila, Producer, Mixing engineer, Helsinki Unity Music, Consultant at Universal Music Finland

"Fun fact, I was the first who bought HCL Islander plugin.
Nowadays, Islander is always in my mastering chain. I really love how it colors my sound. With the clipper in Islander I can make music LOUD! I love this!"

Teemu "TB" Lampinen

"The character offered by this compression / saturation / clipper is distinctive, and what we are looking for. It's that 'Glue compression' you're looking for, maybe it's the mojo your mix or your tracks need, the necessary Clipper on your master to get the desired LUFS level."

https://youtu.be/5LP8B7TFBNA

Francisco Javier, Audio engineer, Producer, audiotoolsblog.blogspot.com

"HCL Islander really isn’t just another compressor. Truly delivering what it promises, usage varies from slight silky gluing to ultra-punishing and pummeling impacts, and does it all with ease. Delta mode and the clipper are my two favourite features, and this has been sitting on all of my drum busses since day one.
Dialing in the perfect compression with a tone flavour suitable for practically any use has really not felt this easy, 6/5."

Jerkka Perälä, Soft Neon Audiovisual

"Verdict after one week of work: very good control of movement and nice options for colour. Bass for the WIN. A tip to all Pro Tools users, load it in Metaplugin and off you go."

Klas-Henrik Lindblad, Blackhead Studios, Berlin

"Wow! I'm really impressed - They've done it really well. it's a nice color box and I like how subtle it is."

https://youtu.be/HBCCqbxEMF0

Wytse Gerichhausen, White Sea Studio

"I have used HCL hardware in the past and always found the results musical and pristine. This plugin follows the same standards. I cannot make this plugin sound bad and I cannot break it - always a nice bonus when working on a deadline.
My only criticism is the GUI not being as intuitive as it should, but after using this a little I understand the choices and it helps gainstaging the mix. It matters ITB despite what is said on forums about 32-bit float. In short the plugin makes me understand and improve my mix.
I use this to create demo masters for my productions to see what might happen in master. The added bonus is that the client receives a master they can compare to other music. Highly recommended."

Mauri "Maucca" Suomivuori, mixing engineer, producer, Helsinki

"I’m in love with the plug in! Finally a compressor that sounds like a real thing!!"

Adrian Schinoff, Adrian Schinoff Studios, Latin Grammy nominated mixing engineer and composer of the ASCAP Pop Ballad of the Year winner

Mark Wingfield from Heron Island Studio did a beautiful video of the Islander and how he uses it! Take a look and see what Mark had to say!

Critically acclaimed jazz and prog rock mixing and mastering engineer Mark Wingfield gives a walkthrough and demonstrates audio examples of the Wavegrove HCL Islander Compressor on drum bus, snare and mix bus mastering scenarios.

”This is a vari-mu style compressor and there’s quite a few, a number of other vari-mu style compressors out there, and this one sounds different than all the other ones. But there’s a lot more going for it then just that. So what I first noticed with this one was that when I put it on things like the two bus or the drum bus, I got an immediate improvement in the sound in ways I’d not heard before from any other plugin.

So even with light amount of compression or heavy amounts of compression it wasn’t just the compression I was hearing - there was just elements of the music that were becoming enhanced in ways I’d not heard before.

It’s not just a simple add a preset or set of harmonics here and a preset curve there and so forth - it’s a lot closer to what goes on in really high-end hardware, where everything’s kind of interacting with everything in a certain way and even more importantly - interacting with the transients, volume envelope of the signal and the frequency content of the signal. With this one I mean everything works - it always sounds good and it’s just lots of different flavors of good. Some high-end pieces of hardware are like that."

"Bad neighbours came and sat afire
Their neighbour’s good new house:
They warmed themselves and then retired
To sleep, arid failed to douse
The smoking ashes from the fire,
And sow them to the winds.
The ashes at the cross-roads lay,
Grown cold, and yet within
A tiny spark alive remained,
And waited for the day
It would be blown into a blaze,
Like an avenger waits
The hour to strike! A long, long time
Still glowed that living spark
And waited where the highways meet,
And then it, too, was dark."

Handcrafted Labs Gennadii Burzak's Islander review by Tommi Langen, Tape Over Mastering

"Islander - mastering grade Vari-Mu compressor with parallel compression. Simply put, you can compress a signal hard and mix back some transients with the uncompressed signal - all in one unit. Even if you're not compressing at all, Islander's tube chain and fancy transformers will give your signal an analog boost resulting in character and depth your mixes definitely will benefit from."

I've never been a big fan of wet-dry processing during the mastering stage. It's not a guessing game with time or energy, and too many options can create a distraction, but to my surprise Islander goes far beyond with its wet-dry processing and opens up many new ways to approach your gain stage. I would rather call it "Dual gain stage tube feeder with time controls" or something along those lines!

Ins and outs
__________

Islander offers two compression modes, which are feedback and feed forward.

Feedback compression feeds the audio signal into the sidechain after the gain reduction. Feed-forward compression feeds the audio signal into the sidechain before the gain reduction. This compressor type reacts to the signal amplitude and adjusts the sidechain signal beforehand.

There's also a time multiplier for the attack and release:

Attack X1:2mS-.3mS-.5mS-.7mS-1mS-2mS-3mS-5mS-7mS-10mS-20mS
Release X1:
100mS-190mS-280mS-370mS-460mS-550mS-640mS-730mS-820mS-910mS-1Sec

Attack: X24mS-.6mS-1mS-1.4mS-2mS-4mS-6mS-10mS-14mS-20mS-40mS
Release X2
200mS-380mS-560mS-740mS-920mS-1,1S-1,28S-1,46S-1,64S-1,82S-2Sec

Sidechain HPF is full range - 75Hz and 150Hz. Tubes are 6к3 (6sk7) and 7n7 tubes on the Wet channel and 6k8 (6sj7) and 7n7 are used on the DRY channel. Three tubes per channel, six tubes in total. Edcor transformers are used on the input transformer and Carnhills on the output transformer. I'm more familiar with Carnhills, Cinemag and Lundhals, but the Edcors did surprise me a lot. They have a tight and fast response, especially in the mids and upper mids region. I have Edcords in my Thermos as well and they sound extremely pleasant, it's like 2dB touch of pure energy. The selection between the tubes and transformers is really well thought out, and they seem to compliment each other very well.

Switches and k***s are really tight, not unpleasently tight, but turning them feels like a handshake from a carpenter. Numbers and values pop out easily and are easy to read. I really appreciate how Handcrafted Labs do their gain values. There are differences in the scale of the dB steps and they seem to be just the right amount in the right place. One dB can be two or even four steps depending where you are in the gain scale.

Stranded on an island
___________________

As you know, many of us use compressors for the tonality with very little compression, and Islander is really great for that. With 1-4dB of compression there's this breathing clarity with tube character, and with its added options compression can be set however you want: it can be open, transparent and fast or it can be dark, grabby and slow. It's not the fastest, but it can be fast. And those who know about driving transformers to tubes (or both vice versa) you can really make your impedance to do bunch of weird things, that affects the behaviour of the circuitry!

Stereo image feels open and focused, it doesen't shrink down when compression levels are set high. Saturation and harmonics sound rich, full and excited, and it doesen't do harsh distortion or a tube screamy effect, but it does make things melt in a musical way. Density and thickness are present, but you can still sense the movement between the frequencies and it doesen't completely eat out the transients, if you don't want it to. It all depends on how you set the gain stage: wet-dry gain is where the real action comes from.

The ability to drive the unit in so many combinations makes it special and is why it stands out for me. As a wise man somewhere on the internet once said: - "It's not how loud you make it - it's how you make it loud. "

Pure gain from the tubes and transformers is the healthiest way to increase your LUFS while keeping the compression and limiting artifacts invisible. Of course calibration and your whole chain play a big role, but getting pure controlled gain with very little sacrifice has never been this easy. You get a great tube compression action, but on top of that you'll get a healthy amount of pure unprocessed tube gain to along with it.

You can find many different sweet spots with different gain options. Talking about sweet spots: you can also calibrate the unit in every possible way and dig really deep. In the back of the unit there's two sidechain inserts, ground lift and also sidechain hi-low switches, that can select the sensitivity of the sidechain amplifier, either +4dBU or +18dBU, so that the threshold step is accurate for any operating levels. This switch doesen't affect the impedance or the gain, so you can really fine tune the compression within your chain. There's also additional wet-dry trimmers for finding the desired sweet spot and the trimmers go a loooong way. I was able to drive them in the +12dB range, which opened a new sound palette, and since it's SE design you get the full taste of the tubes.

I feel Islander is more open sounding than Varis, which has a really thick and dark-ish character which is always a trade off in the clarity of the upper mids due to saturation etc. even though it's PP design, which in theory, should be on the cleaner side of things. I feel Varis is a bit more heavier sounding than the Islander. I was expecting Islander to be more rough around the edges and straight forward, but it's actually a really complex and extremely versatile compressor that can create variety of tones due to it's ingenious design.

Cast away
_________

Islander offers two gain stages with six different tubes and adjustable tube trimmers, two compression modes with three sidechain filters (with ability to run them in different operational sensitivity), dual mono or stereo use, high quality transformers, 3U with everything stepped, 22dBu headroom. What else do you need?

This is spot on for mastering and creating a proper gain stage, which is the key for a good master. First one in the chain and it's a sweet ride after that. Dynamic gain controller with time settings, that doesen't get in the way. Incredible work! I placed an order for a unit of my own and Gena told me that he can make some nice modifications with upgraded parts. I don't honestly even know if I want them or not, because the sound I heard when demoing was the the sound I was after.

And for those who don't know, I have used HCL gear since 2008 on thousands of songs and on the biggest releases of my career. We share a long history, but first and foremost it's based on sound and engineering quality. No paid collabrations, just working towards our goals and aiming to be better at our craft. Real things for all the right reasons. This one is a winner. Heroyam slava!
