This meticulous emulation captures the console's unique non-linearities and harmonic richness, providing an unrivaled level of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eRICH, MUSICAL EQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clearmountain’s 8068 plug-in features the console’s highly musical 3-band EQ, offering more EQ points than the classic 1073 and an inherently wide and musical response perfect for shaping drums, vocals, and strings. A high-Q mode provides additional precision when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eHARMONIC SATURATION\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eUnleash a wide spectrum of sonic character with Clearmountain's 8068 plug-in's distinct input modes. Engage the Line mode for the classic sound and richness these models are known for, adding pleasant harmonic content and coloration that simply makes things sound better. For more aggressive tonal shaping, switch to Mic mode. Unlike conventional analog use, in the plug-in, Mic mode provides a distinctly extreme effect, adding distortion and significant amounts of saturation, even at modest settings. Push it further for grit and snarl, and at its highest settings around 80 dB, you can even introduce unique artifacts, ducking, and other characteristics that lend themselves to a pleasing, almost lofi, style and aesthetic. This allows you to sculpt everything from subtle warmth to powerful, harmonically rich textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eINTELLIGENT AUTO GAIN\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTake advantage of the intelligent Auto Gain feature, a truly\r\nhelpful tool for your workflow. It automatically keeps levels consistent when\r\nyou drive the Mic gain, ensuring your ears aren't deceived by changes in\r\nvolume. This means you can freely explore the full range of saturation and\r\ngrit offered by the plug-in's Mic mode without constantly adjusting the output\r\nlevel, allowing you to focus purely on the tonal character you're creating.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePlug-in formats: VST, VST3, AU, AAX\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003emacOS 10.14.6 and higher (including Silicon compatibility)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWindows 10 and higher\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eAll major DAWs are supported\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ePace iLok account required\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Apogee Digital","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451269771367,"sku":"485279","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/apogee-clearmountains-8068_485279_1.jpg?v=1787096563","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/apogee-clearmountain-s-8068-plug-in-electronic-delivery","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
