Enjoy using the personalized FX chain's of Bob Clearmountain with this Clearmountain's Series Volume 1 Bundle from Apogee Electronics. These three plug-ins—Reverb, Delay, and Flanger/Phaser, support the AAX, AU, VST, and VST3 protocols for working in your favorite DAW on either Windows or Mac. In addition to the three separate plug-ins, the bundle provides expanded settings modules. With this bundle you can add in distortion, aliasing, and emulate the sounds of hardware component aging.
Clearmountain's Spaces from Apogee Electronics is an effects plug-in that faithfully reproduces the sound of Bob Clearmountain's reverberation processes in the digital realm. The plug-in was developed through collaboration with Bob Clearmountain, a legendary mix engineer known for his work on tracks from David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, and others.
Essentially, Spaces takes a whole module from a larger plug-in—Clearmountain's Domain—and makes it available for use as its own effect. This convolution reverb implements three customizable spaces, full input processing for controlling the tone on the way in, a real-time spatial visualizer, and extensive presets based on Clearmountain's work. A sizable number of home-sampled impulse responses are provided.
Bring the sound of legendary mix engineer Bob Clearmountain's vintage analog flanger and phaser rack modules to your digital tracks with the Clearmountain's Phases modulation plug-in from Apogee Electronics. By combining current technology for precise authentic models with the experience and ears of Bob Clearmountain himself, this plug-in offers classic, tripped-out effects of the '60s and '70s, heard on records by Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, and many more.
Start with instrument-specific presets (crafted by Bob Clearmountain) made to replicate the processing used on a massive list of hit songs, or build your own using the plug-in's array of parameters. Adjust distortion, aliasing, and aging to emulate the original hardware, or go beyond the analog units with expanded settings such as custom routing and LFO sync.

With expanded controls including feedback, LFO phase, high-pass filters, and polarity-reverse controls, you can emulate workflows in the plug-in that originally required external gear with vintage modules. The true zero-crossing tape-flange mode reproduces the dramatic effect that happens when two tape machines flange perfectly. You can even swap out the core bucket-brigade delay (BBD) chip emulation to explore vastly greater sweep ranges. Finally, to really add the grit and flavor of the original hardware to your tracks, dial in your desired amount of distortion and aliasing.
With the Stages knob, you can reproduce the sonic characteristics of hardware phasers, from stompbox favorites, to vintage hardware units, to modern plug-ins. Dial in feedback to intensify the effect with added resonance, then adjust the feedback tap knob for even more sonic variations. Engage the Analog button to more closely model the original hardware's feedback implementation. Finally, send the plug-in back in time with the Age trimpot, to reproduce the mellowing effects of aging hardware components.
To add a swirling width that moves across the stereo soundstage, he'd patch in multiple modules, then set different sweep rates for the left and right sides of each module. Listen to Mick's vocal on the Stones' Heaven track, or Bowie's China Girl recording to hear the result. You can recreate these special sounds with the Module Config and Sweep Rate Select features.
Bob has carefully created each preset based on specific instruments and processing from his extensive catalog of timeless hit mixes. Want to experience the Stones Heaven vocal sound described above? Simply load the preset.
Clearmountain's Domain from Apogee Electronics is an effects signal chain plug-in that faithfully reproduces the sound of Bob Clearmountain's delay, pitch, and reverb mixing process in the digital realm. The plug-in was developed through collaboration with Bob Clearmountain, a legendary mix engineer known for his work on tracks from David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, and others. A comprehensive preset menu offers classic Clearmountain effects, from the opening snare drum of Born in the USA to the echoing guitar of Let's Dance.
The plug-in begins with a de-esser and a 3-band EQ for processing signal before the effects. Then you'll find a highly tweakable delay, a pitch-shifting section, and three independent convolution reverbs. You can mix all five sections in a mixer panel, thus fashioning the perfect sense of space for your mix. The home page of Clearmountain's Domain features a real-time FX visualizer along with faders for the input and dry/wet blend.
