Unlike most manufacturers who introduce a product with great fanfare and promise to always keep it up-to-date, only to “drop the ball” after a few months, the Focusrite Liquid Channel continues to be updated with both a new operating system (currently 2.1) and additional emulations of classic preamps and compresssors. It even has its own download page.
Why is Liquid Channel so awesome? Well, imagine if you could equip your studio with the best classic mic preamps and compressors ever made. The Liquid Channel precisely replicates those sounds and even comes standard with 40 classic mic preamps and 40 vintage compressors right out of the box. Aside from where on Earth you’d put them, a total of 80 vintage processors would easily cost more than most people’s houses, making this rackmount Focusrite product a bargain! What’s more, it fuses cutting-edge analog technology with proprietary Dynamic Convolution techniques and a lightning-fast SHARC DSP processor. Add one to your studio and within a short time, you’ll wonder how you got along with it!
