Clearmountain's 8068 from Apogee Electronics is a plug-in based on the Bob Clearmountain's custom NEVE 8068 mixing console. Bring analog character to your digital music with digital modeling of every circuit and component of the analog original. Use this mixing control to mix your sound using the same iconic controls that have been to mix for icons such as Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Chic, Kool & The Gang, Bryan Adams, and more. It is compatible with Windows and Mac systems running DAWs that support AAX, AU, VST, and VST3 plug-ins.
Features
- The Full Channel Strip: Experience the harmonics, frequency response, and musicality of the Neve 8068, including its fader module
- Rich, Musical EQ: Perfect for shaping drums, vocals, and strings. A high-Q mode offers additional precision when needed
- Mic and Line Modes: Choose your level of flavor with a harmonically rich line-level mode, or add crunch and saturation with mic mode
- Auto Gain for Mic Mode: Ensures consistent levels, even when pushing the saturation for added texture
Musical EQ
The Clearmountain's 8068 plug-in features the console's highly musical 3-band EQ, offering more EQ points than the classic 1073 and an inherently wide and musical response perfect for shaping drums, vocals, and strings. A high-Q mode provides additional precision when needed.
Harmonic Saturation
Unlock a spectrum of character with distinct Line and Mic input modes. Line mode offers the console's classic richness and pleasant harmonic coloration. Switch to Mic mode for aggressive saturation and distortion, even at subtle settings. Push it further for grit, snarl, or even unique lo-fi artifacts at extreme levels.
Intelligent Auto Gain
Automatically keep levels consistent when driving the mic gain, to ensure your ears aren't deceived by changes in volume. This means you can freely explore the full range of saturation and grit offered by the plug-in's Mic mode without constantly adjusting the output level, allowing you to focus purely on the tonal character you're creating.
