"My API preamps are essential to my studio operation. They are extremely versatile and always fulfill my expectations. From drums to guitars to vocals, they always excel. They capture the transients well and provide a unique tonal coloration that is highly desirable. Whether one passes minimal signal through the preamp or really drives it hard, a great, classic tone is guaranteed. I love my 512c on bass and electric guitar. I find that the preamp gives a certain bite to these instruments which really allows it to cut through a mix.

"The Waves API bundle is incredible! Waves did an excellent job emulating the hardware and making the software sound as authentic as possible. I have worked on an API 1608 console filled with 550a, 550b and 560 eq's and these plugins are the real deal! The stereo compressor performs as it should and really holds the dynamics together while adding that classic API tone to the signal. The eq's are very musical and I was amazed to find that by simply adding a 550a on a vocal track without boosting or cutting any frequencies, the vocal instantly sounded more analog. Pick up the API collection and you won't be disappointed! It's great having the ability to have that API sound on every one of my tracks."
