Classic Console EQ

Give your digital tracks a dose of musical console EQ with the API 550 native EQ plug-in by Waves. True to API's character, the API 550 gives you a very functional balance between precise EQ accuracy and sweet tone shaping. Three sweepable bands cover all the sonic territory you need, and an additional band-pass filter can be enabled independently of the other parameters to further perfect your sound. And the API 550 gives you all the mix control that you'd expect from a console EQ, with polarity reverse, analog console emulation, and old school VU meters. The API 550 EQ plug-in by Waves gives you the sound, feel, and workflow of working on a classic analog console.

Waves API 550 Native Features at a Glance:
  • Console-accurate EQ points and metering
  • Independent band-pass filter makes it easy to fit difficult instruments in the mix
  • Extremely accurate modeling of analog components gives you the sound of classic hardware with the convenience of software
  • Straightforward, intuitive interface helps you stay focused on your music, not on your EQ settings
  • Optional analog modeling essentially gives you two different EQ flavors to choose from

Get the Waves API 550 Native plug-in, and long live console EQ!

Music Background:
I have a 550b in my lunch box and this pug in sounds just like it. Love this EQ on overheads steel guitar and electric guitars. It's a plug in you must have!

Absolutely great! Sounds just like the hardware. I grew up on API consoles. This is the real deal. Best EQ in my system.

You did a GREAT job! It's hard to express how very pleased I am with my new guitar. From the knowledgable and professional customer service to the flawless and prompt arrive of my new guitar, Sweewater distinguished itself as the premier place to purchase and instrument.
