API sound in your DAW! The Waves API Collection brings four classic processors from Automated Processes Incorporated to the masses. API is used by engineers worldwide, and has been heard on countless records. Their sound is like no other. The API Collection from Waves captures every nuance of their unique sonic signatures. Developed in association with API, this plug-in bundle recreates the magic of four of API's most renowned modules: the 550A 3-Band Equalizer, the 550B 4-Band Equalizer, the 560 Graphic Equalizer, and the 2500 Stereo Compressor. For the sound of API in your DAW, look no further than the API Collection. Waves API Collection Includes: API 550A - 3-Band Equalizer Modeled on API's late 1960's legend, the API 550A EQ delivers a sound that has been a hallmark of high end studios for decades. It provides reciprocal equalization at 15 points in 5 steps of boost divided into three overlapping ranges. The high and low frequency ranges are individually selectable as either peaking or shelving, and a band-pass filter can be inserted independently of all other settings. The 550A is a uniquely powerful equalizer with that one-of-a-kind API sound. 5 selected frequency centers per band Reciprocal and repeatable filtering Maximum 12 dB of boost/cut per band in 2-3 dB steps "Proportional Q" narrows filter Q at extremes High headroom +30 dB clip level API 550B - 4-Band Equalizer Featuring four overlapped EQ bands, the 550B gives tracks that sweet analog sound that API is renowned for. With 7 switchable filter frequencies spanning up to 5 octaves per band, the 550B's "Proportional Q" automatically widens the filter bandwidth at minimal settings and narrows it at higher settings. It even lets you undo previous processing, affect or even reverse tonal modifications. With its vast range of tonal possibilities, the API 550B is a versatile EQ for all your processing needs. 7 selected frequency centers per band Reciprocal and repeatable filtering 12 dB of boost/cut per band Bands 1 and 4 offer shelf/peak switching High headroom +30 dB clip level API 560 - 10-Band Graphic EQ Based on API's 1967 classic, the 560 10-Band Graphic Equalizer features precision filtering and massive headroom, so you can take your sound to the edge and beyond. The 560's curve shaping potential is unmatched, while API's unique "Proportional Q" design intuitively widens the filter bandwidth at lower boost/cut levels and narrows it at higher settings. And since boost and cut characteristics are identical, previous actions can be easily undone. For precision equalization with unmatched versatility, turn to the EQ heard on top recordings for decades: the API 560. Familiar one octave centers 12 dB of boost/cut per band "Proportional Q" narrows filter Q at extremes Additional resolution in the critical ±4 dB region Clip level > +28 dBu API 2500 - Stereo Compressor The API 2500 is a dynamics processing powerhouse that lets you deliver the punch with absolute accuracy. Its dual channel design lets the 2500 also function as two separate mono channels via a single compression setting. Using auto-makeup gain, you can adjust Threshold or Ratio while automatically maintaining a constant output level. With both "feed back" and "feed forward" compression types, the 2500 boasts a wide range of incredibly musical parameters which have made it a favorite of engineers the world over. 3-position Thrust high-pass filter Variable Link left and right channels 3 Variable Link filter types 3 compression modes: Soft, Medium and Hard Knee 6 Release settings 5 fixed, 1 continuous Classic API sound in plug-in form with the Waves API Collection! Customer Reviews  Amazing sound!   by brianbfw from Alexandria, VA 22306, May 05, 2008 Music Background:  classical guitarist, composer, and recording engineer “I have never actually heard an API EQ or compressor in person, but I do know a lot of my favorite music has been mixed on their boards and using their gear. I am getting an amazing sound, and really coming close to the presense and clarity in my mixes. You can really get a wide variety of sounds from the EQs. The compressor is also very musical, you can get lots of different tonal...” Read More • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review More Plug-Ins: Bundles from Waves: · Waves Gold Native Bundle · Waves SSL 4000 Collection Native · Waves Native Power Pack · Waves Musicians Bundle II · Waves Studio Classics Collection - Native · Waves Masters Native Bundle · Waves Platinum Native Bundle · Waves SSL 4000 Collection TDM · Waves GTR3 Software Only Edition · Waves Studio Classics Collection - TDM View All Products from Waves  Tell a Friend About the API Collection Native!  Print This Page
