Excellent concise and informative as usual, thanks Joe, have a couple of their earlier, would be interesting to compare to the Lindell version of API from Plugin Alliance

[@HR2635]

Thanks for the great demo Joe!

[@InTheMixJoeCarrell]

You’re welcome!

Having used it only a little bit something KIT may want to address is how the workflow is implemented. Its fixed frequencies so there is no real need for me to click and drag to select those. And if I have the eq set to stepped I don't see why I have to click and drag to do my boost and cuts. There is a lot to like with this, but other companies make similar products that have a faster workflows.

How does it sound compared to Lindell 50 and the UAD channel strip

[@InTheMixJoeCarrell]

Only you can determine that for yourself! Grab a limited time demo and see what you think.

[@HR2635]

the easy answer is: if you like one of those 2 then this one will not give you anything noticeable different.

I wonder if you can help me are Channel Strips only meant for non electronic music, as in do they have any use in making Electronic Music?

[@michaell.8938]

Overhead mics are a love/hate issue for me. The kick is in the right channel, which when combined with the actual kick and snare, gives you a smeared stereo image. This drives me nuts.

If you are getting to record the tracks, this can be primarily soft completely with microphone placement. As a mixer, though, when we are getting other peoples tracks, that can be a thing. I have found a very useful tool To be using a plug-In that makes all of the lower frequencies mono as my first insert. There are a few plug-ins that have a built-in but also you can use a Midside equalizer to remove all the low frequencies from the sides and only leave things below 250hz or so In the middle. Thanks for watching and best wishes.

Would love to hear more of the mix and less of the talk. Too much talking
