Joy of Mixing
★★★★★I love channel plugins, esp. from PA with TMT that allows to get an open wider sound. Another important aspect is the interaction of components, the workflow and the "vision" behind it. The API-console is an overwhelming one. I didnt get the picture by single plugins emulating API components. I liked EQ and compressor plugins but in the end, I didnt use them often.
This one is different. Alll the tools (3 EQs, 2 compressors) are available and you can switch out a component and come back without losing adjustments. These EQs differ and they sound amazing. For (HQ sampled) classical instruments I like the fact that these EQs stay close to the sound, allowing focussing (but not "reshaping"). Without drastic effects you can achieve an improved sound that fits in the mix. Having two complete different compressor models is not only helpful - it is great fun.
You can get a fast raw mix, lots of tiny improvements by utilizing the different tools, and you can tune these results with different possibilities for coloration.
This plugin made it possible for me to understand API's vision and to take advantage from it for my mixes. -
Loving It...
★★★★★Just wow... Great work team PA. -
Less words. More great results!
★★★★★Yes it really does. The issue with alot of emulations is that they get modeled after old gear. Sometimes we want a more modern sound but also analog character. We tend to combine lots of plugins that help us get to that sound. The lindel 50 helps me accomplish that in just a few moves on the strip itself. Wonderful craftsmanship from lindell. I know now that if i were to get a mixing desk, it would definitely be an API desk. Shout out to the PA team for getting this to us in a way that will push music production forward! -
50 Series
★★★★★Just incredibly good! -
Detail and punch
★★★★★I have worked on an API console for a while in the past and since then I've always been looking for something who could get close enough to that detailed and punchy sound when mixing in the box. I finally got it! -
Vocals
★★★★★I rarely write reviews but this deserves one. It’s the best channel strip I’ve used on vocals! Sounds big, polished and professional. I love API sound! It’s my new go to sound -
Finally!
★★★★★I was just saying to myself last week how much I wanted a great API console emulation and when was PA going to make one.
Landed on the page tonight and picked it up. Awesome!!
Thank you so much!
Edit- I HAVE to add more. I love this strip. As other's have mentioned, so many different ways to shape your tone. This is my new go to strip. I wish it were avail as DSP but not a major problem. I have several other "API" strips but this one with it's options and tone really does it for me. Gets me the the grit. The variable HP filter up front really helps. It's not just a drum and rock vocal strip (though some great presets for those are given). OK- I'll stop the rave... -
Lindell 50 Series
★★★★★I'm glad I subscribed a MEGA Bundle with such a thrilling tool inside. This is absolutely fantastic. Now I feel I will need to see how it sounds on quite a lot of my work, that I though was OK and finished. Was not. -
My favorite!!!
★★★★★I have always been a big fan of API, and the API sound. Finally someone has come out with the ultimate channel strip! The options are ridiculous! The look, and layout are clean and simple to navigate. The sound is stellar! 3 EQ options in one strip is amazing. The hidden gem for me is a gate that actually works properly. The metering is the most accurate I have used thus far. Thanks Lindell and Plugin Alliance!!! -
My new favorite channel strip!
★★★★★Plugin Alliance has done it again! The Lindell 50 channel is everything you want in a channel strip and more. The ability to change between 3 different eq’s and 2 compressors is a great and extremely useful feature. Warm, smooth, punchy and aggressive, it’s all here. Sonically satisfying!
