Universal Audio UADX-API-VISION-COLLECTION Overview

Add the unmistakable sound of API's flagship analog console to your productions with the API Vision Channel Strip Plug-In from Universal Audio. Artists have used API's legendary hardware to shape the sound of era-defining works including Radiohead's In Rainbows and Stevie Wonder's Innervisions.

With this painstakingly recreated digital emulation, you can now access that sought-after tone from your digital workstation, beginning with a simulated API 212L preamp with famed 2520 API op-amp and custom API transformers. Use the 225L compressor and 235L gate/expander to sculpt the dynamics, then use the 215's filters for broad EQ strokes and the 550L or 560L modules for more refined EQ adjustments. This plug-in software download includes a native version that will run on Mac and Windows computers without UA hardware, as well as a second version that runs accelerated on Apollo interfaces and UAD-2 hardware.

Sculpt with Parametric and New Graphic EQs
With a click of the new EQ Type button, the API Vision Channel Strip Collection lets you choose between the revered 550L 4-band parametric EQ and API's famous 560L series 10-band graphic EQ. The new 560L EQ emulation captures the complex band interactions and musical filter-amp distortions of API's coveted hardware, letting you quickly sweeten and shape guitars, add aggression to drums, and push vocals forward with analog punch, low-end transparency, and ultratight imaging.
Instant Magic: The 212L Preamp with Unison Technology
The API Vision Channel Strip Collection gets even better with Apollo interfaces, thanks to Unison mic preamp technology. Unison gives you all the important impedance, gain stage sweet spots, and circuit behaviors of API's iconic 212L preamp via bidirectional control and communication between the software and your Apollo's mic preamps. Plus, you get the same features found in API's flagship Vision Console including a Mic/Line switch, dedicated cut filter, and -6 dB line pad.
Shape Dynamics with the 225L Compressor
A versatile compressor teaming with character, the 225L thrives on any instrument, in any genre—from a single track to an entire mix. Plus, use selectable New and Old functions for two delicious brands of compression, from mild to severe.
Get Creative with API Gate/Expander and Filters
The ultrafast 235L Noise Gate/Expander lets you easily shape ambience and attack on individual sources like kick drums or bass synth, and also clamp down on noisy drum-kit rattles and gnarly guitar-amp noise. Plus, the passive, fully sweepable 215L's high- and low-pass filters are perfect for broad-stroke EQ sculpting, letting you expertly craft your source material while preserving its original tone.
