Wow just great! This channel strip just sounds killer so fine and yet indescribable by definition, it just sounds really good! With the focusrite Isa pre amps you can simply feast your ears !! Crystal clear sound and a dynamic available where I have never heard of any other channel strip. The Eq very fine but very defined the compressor just fat so soft but punch without end! Also the CPU usage, worth noticing how low it is 16 channel drum recording and on each channel focusrite console not even 15% load !!
Amazing

I love this plugin, I watched the documentary on the console and I wanted a plugin of it so bad since I'd never be able to record on one, I saw this was done by Brainworx and have had it on my wish list since it came out. I got a Christmas special on it for $69.99 and and feel bad because that was a steal for how amazing this VST is.
Absolutely Amazing

It took me a little while to get a hold of this particular channel strip, but after repeated use I can say there is truly nothing like it. Without a doubt the most powerful, full, and incredibly smooth-sounding tool in my plugin library to date. I think this a must-have for anyone, regardless of the genre. Brainworx really knocked it out of the park with this one. Great job!

The new Focusrite SC audio demos caught my attention, and your generous holiday promotion lured me in - thank you Dirk! In production I've gravitated toward the fast / clean sound of modern high-end op amps and solid state, but also want some controllable transformer warmth. I like tubes occasionally for flavor but generally prefer solid state. To my ear, your new Focusrite emulation nails what I've been looking for. I just applied an instance to a solo grand piano track and - wow. I'll describe the sound as big, crystal clear and delightfully strident (as intended) in the upper mids. I now have a template as my starting place for piano recordings. Thanks also for your link to the documentary video about the history of this console. I did not realize that Focusrite had released their 100 series technology as a commercial large-format console, and then only ten of them. Learning about the adventures of these consoles out in the world is truly fascinating. I now have BX N, SSL and Focusrite consoles in my toolkit, and this one is my new favorite. Kudos to your developers for an excellent release.

As a long-time studio musician, producer & remixer; it took about 30 seconds for the Focusrite channel strip to make me a believer. A bit of background... I recorded professionally for the first time at the age of 7 in Nashville and spent many years as a live musician & vocalist before transitioning to mainly a session musician & eventually producing. Simply put, I am far from being a newcomer to professional audio recording and well remember the days when having a studio at home for a normal musician/singer was just a dream. The Focusrite SC was the second brainworx plugin that I gave a serious try out and within 30 seconds I was hooked. The mix sounded more open and spacious and had a depth that I love and I didn't have to spend hours tweaking settings to get the sound I love. My one complaint is that it is a bit resource-hungry but there are work-arounds to keep that from being a serious issue. I own and use a variety of plugins (several channel strips as well) and they all have their place and uses but the bx_console Focusrite SC quickly became my go to channel strip. Great work brainworx!! This is definitely a hit!!

Stunning! I have finally found that go to desert island channel strip. I'm a hip-hop guy so this thing sounds so beautiful mixing 808's and thick layered synths. Brainworx if your superb engineers could just add a pan pot to this channel strip then it would be the best one on the market. If I can get really greedy maybe if you could get the CPU usage as low as your other channel strips that would just make my day.

Thanks. The algorithms in all of the console emulations are different, based on the original circuits. That's why this plugin uses a bit more than the other consoles.
The core of my workflow

This has quickly become my go-to plugin for mixing. It has everything I really need (save for reverb, delay, and occasionally saturation). My workflow has been simplified by this plugin, yet it's surprisingly effective and versatile. Most importantly, it sounds clean and precise, but still has a subtle and musical character.

I always idolized the sound of old school hip hop. For nearly twenty years I've sought to replicate the signal chain that championed the sound of my idols. This exceeded my expectations and I find it indispensable in the manifestation of my vision that goes back to the 90s. I tip my hat...

I would never have dreamed of getting my hands on one of those rare Focusrite desks. Actually, I have never even heard nor touched one at all. But I had a Focusrite Control 2802 once and loved it, even though this was just a rebranded Audient mini desk. Anyway, this plugin sounds great. It is also totally different from the other bx_consoles. It's built-in de-esser is working like a charm and I really like the colour it gives to vocals. Try it for yourself, maybe it's to coloured for your stuff, but I like it A LOT.
