  • The Best API Emulation

    ★★★★★
    by Cwilliam
    To me the API is a must have and this emulation is the best. However I'd love to be able to use two eqs simultaneously without inserting two instances of the plugin, or two compressor so I can take advantage of the color that each compressor offers.

    Sounds great but finetuning ie; smaller precise increments tweaking capabilities would make it a winner.

  • So versatile!

    This channel strip is very versatile and sounds great. I'm not find myself changing the eqs to much, but the two comps are absolutely useful. The GUI is really nice and clear.

  • It's THAT SOUND :)

    I've done a number of sessions on a vintage API console. It's that unique texture that's so lovely about API stuff. Punchy and assertive, but with this almost fluffy, grit that's smooth and tight at the same time?? I dunno, how do you describe this stuff?? Well, I have the UAD Vision strip, track with it with my Apollo, and like it a lot. It's really close. This one though, catches something special about the texture that gets closer to the console, so I'll be using this more for mixing I'm sure. The FET compressor is also just killer on this!
    IMPORTANT POINT --> Thanks for making the EQ gains continuous instead of the 2dB steps of the hardware!!! That's something that always bugged me about the hardware and most emulations. That limitation is ridiculous to carry into the DAW and was always frustrating while mixing. "...Not enough... too much... not enough... too much... Ah screw it, I'll use something else."
    Main gripe: Same as all PA channel strips... No text entry! Please consider this for a future update. It's a timesaver when you know exactly how much of a change you want to make and can just type it in real quick. It's also helpful when trying to match certain settings to another instance for just one or a few parameters, when a copy-paste won't work.

    I love channel plugins, esp. from PA with TMT that allows to get an open wider sound. Another important aspect is the interaction of components, the workflow and the "vision" behind it. The API-console is an overwhelming one. I didnt get the picture by single plugins emulating API components. I liked EQ and compressor plugins but in the end, I didnt use them often.
    This one is different. Alll the tools (3 EQs, 2 compressors) are available and you can switch out a component and come back without losing adjustments. These EQs differ and they sound amazing. For (HQ sampled) classical instruments I like the fact that these EQs stay close to the sound, allowing focussing (but not "reshaping"). Without drastic effects you can achieve an improved sound that fits in the mix. Having two complete different compressor models is not only helpful - it is great fun.
    You can get a fast raw mix, lots of tiny improvements by utilizing the different tools, and you can tune these results with different possibilities for coloration.
    This plugin made it possible for me to understand API's vision and to take advantage from it for my mixes.
