WOW

I demoed the API collection on a friend's advice and bought the bundle an hour later. Still playing with the Compressor - I have a few I like for different applications...but the EQ sound!!!!!! DAMN!! Clear, Big, present...in both Native and TDM modes (TDM has a touch bigger middle, but overall VERY close)...if you don't have the money for TDM...the Native is just as good.

Amazing sound!

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 possibilities from older slower reacting compressors (F back) to newer sounding (F forward) compressors. Haven’t had a bad mix yet with these. To me, these sound best on rock and pop mixes. These will definitely breathe new life into your mixes. I love ‘em.

A Class Above the Rest

These plug-ins have been used on every project since I got them and I am truly impressed by the clarity and punch that I haven't found in any plugin EQ or compressor. These are definitely my desert island plugins. I can easily mix and even master a whole project with these and Altiverb 6 which is stunning as well. I demoed every EQ and Compressor plugin before my purchase and found nothing that breathed life into my projects like the API bundle.
