A genuine API console, right on your desktop
Experience the power and versatility of a genuine API console with the Universal Audio LUNA API Vision Console Emulation Bundle. This groundbreaking software brings the iconic API Vision Console right to your desktop, allowing you to create professional-grade mixes with ease. Built into the fabric of LUNA's mixer, this console emulation is the first of its kind, providing a complete end-to-end emulation that eliminates the need for floating plug-in windows.
Everything you need to record & mix
With the API Vision Console Emulation, you have everything you need to record and mix your music to perfection. Each channel strip gives you access to six of API's legendary L-Series modules, allowing you to sculpt your sources with the bold API tone in real-time. From the punch and presence of the 212L preamp to the powerful tone-shaping capabilities of the 550L/560L EQs and the musical 235L gate/expander, you'll have all the tools you need to achieve the perfect sound.
Add API analog summing for rich harmonics
One of the standout features of the API Vision Console Emulation is its ability to replicate the rich harmonics and character of analog summing. When your audio sources flow through an API console, the natural nonlinearities of the 2520 op-amps and custom output transformers work together to create musical harmonics and transient clipping. With this emulation, you can experience the same punch, depth, and character that a mid-forward, lively mix achieved through API analog summing.
Classic In-Line API Console Compression
In addition to its impressive channel strip capabilities, the API Vision Console Emulation also includes the revered API 2500 Bus Compressor. This "in-line" version of the compressor brings energy and movement to your mixes, giving your buses and master fader the analog glue and mid-forward attitude that API is known for. With its meticulously detailed emulation and powerful Thrust control, you can easily apply this classic compression to drum buses, synths, and more for that authentic API punch.
The first of its kind
The API Vision Console Emulation is truly the first of its kind in the world of digital audio production. From the input stage to bus summing and the master fader, this emulation captures the essence of the large-format analog console experience like never before. Now, you can harness the same inspired workflow used on countless hit records, complete with the cohesive character and colourful sound of a classic API desk. Take your mixes to the next level with the Universal Audio LUNA API Vision Console Emulation Bundle.
