UADx API Vision Channel Strip by Universal Audio

The iconic color of API’s flagship analog console, with expanded EQ.

From Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions to Radiohead’s In Rainbows, API desks have shaped hit albums with unmistakable punch, presence, and color for over 50 years. In 2013, Universal Audio released the API Vision Channel Strip plug‑in, artfully capturing API’s flagship analog console.

Today, the updated API Vision Channel Strip Collection gives you more authentic API tone, now with switchable EQ modules and expertly modeled output section, plus all the critical recording and mixing functions of API’s iconic compression, gating, and filter modules:

• Track and mix through a stunning emulation of API’s flagship analog console channel.
• Sculpt sources with new 560L series 10-band graphic EQ module and beloved 550L parametric EQs.
• Punch up signals through the API 212L preamp with famed 2520 API op-amp and custom API transformers.
• Reshape ambience and create dynamic effects with the 235L Gate/Expander.
• Tame transients and craft bold new textures with API’s legendary 225L compression circuit.
• Mix with artist presets from Joe Chiccarelli, Neil Dorfsman, David Isaac, and more.

Unison only available in the UAD2 version used with an Apollo interface.
