API® Vision Channel Strip Collection
-
Le grain mythique de la console analogique phare d’API, avec un égaliseur supplémentaire.
De l’Innervisions de Stevie Wonder à In Rainbows de Radiohead, les consoles API façonnent, depuis plus de 50, ans le son des plus grands albums grâce à leur punch, leur présence et leur grain inimitables.
En 2013, Universal Audio lançait le plug-in API Vision Channel Strip dans lequel il émulait savamment la console analogique phare d’API. Aujourd’hui, la version retravaillée API Vision Channel Strip Collection pour les cartes UAD et les interfaces Apollo, reproduit le son d’API avec encore plus d’authenticité, et y intègre des modules d’égalisation distincts, une section de sortie habilement modélisée, ainsi que toutes les fonctions critiques d’enregistrement et de mixage des modules de compression, gate et filtrage mythiques d’API.Vous Pouvez à Présent :

5-Minute UAD Tips
Learn how to add punch, definition, and tone using the API Vision Channel Strip's legendary modules.
Sculptez votre Son avec l’Égaliseur Paramétrique et le Nouvel Égaliseur Graphique
D’un clic sur le nouveau bouton EQ Type, l’API Vision Channel Strip Collection vous donne la possibilité de choisir entre le très populaire égaliseur paramétrique de quatre bandes 550L et le célèbre égaliseur graphique de dix bandes API 560L. La nouvelle émulation du 560L capture les interactions complexes entre les différentes bandes de fréquences, mais aussi les points d’écrêtage et la distorsion musicale des filtres de l’égaliseur matériel original. Vous pourrez ainsi sculpter et peaufiner une prise de guitare, rendre une batterie plus agressive ou pousser des voix grâce au punch, aux graves transparents et à l’image sonore ultra-concise offerts par le processeur analogique d’API.
Magie Instantanée : Le Préampli 212L avec la Technologie Unison
L’API Vision Channel Strip Collection devient encore plus intéressante quand vous l’utilisez avec les interfaces Apollo. En effet, la technologie de préampli micro Unison reproduit l’impédance, les ”sweet spots” de l’étage de gain et les comportements du circuit du mythique préampli API 212L, le tout communiquant constamment entre le logiciel et les préamplis micro de votre Apollo via un contrôle bidirectionnel. De plus, vous retrouvez les mêmes fonctionnalités que sur la célèbre Console API Vision, notamment le commutateur Micro/Ligne, le filtre dédié et l’atténuateur de -6 dB.
Travaillez la Dynamique avec le Compresseur 225L
Le 225L est un compresseur polyvalent au caractère inimitable. Quel que soit le style musical, vous pourrez l’appliquer à n’importe quel instrument sur une piste seule, ou même traiter un mixage entier. De plus, les fonctions ”New” et ”Old” vous permettent de choisir entre deux types de compression allant du modéré à l’extrême.
Libérez votre Créativité avec les Filtres et le Gate/Expanseur d’API
Le Noise Gate/Expanseur 235L ultra-rapide vous permet de façonner aisément l’ambiance et l’attaque de sources aussi diverses qu’une grosse caisse ou un synthé de basse, mais aussi réduire les bruits produits par les vibrations d’un kit de batterie ou les distorsions d’un ampli guitare. De plus, les filtres passe-haut et passe-bas du 215L, dont vous pouvez balayer les fréquences, sont parfaits pour égaliser et sculpter globalement votre son tout en préservant son caractère original.
“The accuracy of the UAD API plug‑ins is incredible. I'll turn up the preamp gain to drive a guitar, or simply add some clean gain if I’m tracking Alicia Keys' piano. So versatile!”

“API should stand for Amazing Punch Immediately. Dub, Complextro, and every other club genre is about to explode with the UAD API Vision Channel Strip Plug-In.”

too bad.

I've been backing away from UAD for the last couple years. Why am I re-buying stuff I've owned since the first versions came out? $150 for a very subtle sound upgrade (which is highly subjective, anyway) is stupid. Computers can hack lots of native plugs these days, and UAD is being matched and surpassed in quality at every turn. You're not the only game in town any more, UAD. I'm running out of reasons to stick with you. I got onboard with the UAD platform at the very beginning. Nothing gold can stay.
s. mcclintic
wait, i get to pay again for it...?
as with the Neve plugs we get to pay the same price as the sale when we've already purchased these no legacy products? C'mon Avid...I mean UA. And while id love to have the graphic EQ in my Vision strip its not worth another 150$. SHould be a way deeper discounts for "leagcy" customers!

This was my favorite plugin, while it still worked
I've been using the Vision Channel Strip for about a year or so. It was my favorite plugin. I loved putting this thing in my unison slot. Sounds great whenever I want to scoop the mids for guitar. Crank the preamp and compress the hell out of a bass guitar, and you're in business. I also used it in my DAW for my kick and snare channels in nearly every single project. Adds some great punch to the kick, and I love the crack it adds to the snare's high end. Unfortunately, I can no longer use the plugin ever since the new version came out. That's right. The legacy version does not work. When I select the legacy version, the plugin gets disabled and I get an error message saying that it's not authorized. It happens in my DAW and in console. I have tried to reinstall, but I am still having issues. So it's just money down the drain at this point. And then asking me $150 to upgrade? Throw away more money? I call shenanigans. I don't mean to sound rude and I do want to emphasize that this is an incredible plugin (when it works), but this is just unbelievable.

Heck of a good plugin for one that wishes to experience API, and will be a great deal when the year end sales appear. Like others, i agree that it is a pricey upgrade, especially when one already owns the previous, AND the 2500 buss comp. Nice tho, that one has everything in one instance, quicker, and should equal less dsp in the long run. Perhaps UAD will have a soft spot for us loyal customers whom had the previous, and upgraded??
S. Layton
Not interested
How can you expect Luna to gain real leverage in the market with this pricing from your own customers?
A. Aubry Carlson
Not cool LEGACY stamp.
When you pay the full price of the now "LEGACY" plugin, and your upgrade price if the same of the intro one for new users (or when it will be on sale at -50%), that's the perfect example of a company screwing old customers.
I think what bothers me the most is now the LEGACY stamp written on the plugin now. This isn't very cool when you have clients at your studio and your plugin has legacy written all over it. Makes you feel cheap and as if your equipment was outdated. Very disappointed in UAD on this one.B. Hoener
REALLY WTF!!!!
$149.00 for anyone? I already bought all of the API Stuff And now I can buy it again? And then buy an API Package that ONLY works in LUNA for anothe $350.00? OK RIght! Man, I love UA but this is Bull$h!T

Upgrade pricing problems
The plugin itself is awesome, I love it! The upgraded EQ section is amazing for boosting super fat lows ... buuuuut ... I purchased the now 'legacy' version just a few days before this came out, on sale with the seemingly usual 50% discount. Then I get an email shortly after saying as a customer of this plugin I get a screaming deal on the upgrade ... the cost? $150, just like what I just bought!!! I went for it anyway, but come on UA, judging by the reviews here I am not alone. I would HIGHLY suggest that you query your purchase history and send all the customers that got caught in this, let's call it 'business error' and offer us a fairly substantial coupon (anything less than $75 is going to feel disrespectful to be totally honest). I mean come on, it's only going to result in us buying more plugins, it's a win win. DO IT, UA!

New package, same sound
As others have pointed out, it is difficult to recommend this update if you already own API Vision Legacy and the 560 EQ. You get an output clipper and another high-pass filter, while the other updates are mostly cosmetic in nature. It doesn't seem to offer anything new.

Another awesome addition from UA. The system just keeps getting better!

API Vision Channel Strip Collection
The API Vision channel strip is an awesome collection plugin, the sound quality is incredibly nice, I like you can switch between the two EQ 550 and 560L in the GUI.
M. Nigro
Big bucks for small changes
I love API Vision, now the legacy version. But this upgrade offers little improvement for $149. Plug-in Alliance has a very good alternative with some features extras. It should be a free or inexpensive update for those who already own the legacy version.
D. Koch
upgrades should be free!
You can't simply continue to turn things into "legacy" products and make your loyal customers pay twice! C´mon make the update free for existing loyal customers!
