5-Minute UAD Tips
Learn how to add punch, definition, and tone using the API Vision Channel Strip's legendary modules.
Forme Deinen Sound mit parametrischen und neuen grafischen EQs
Mit einem Klick auf den neuen EQ-Type Knopf kannst Du in der API Vision Channel Strip Collection zwischen dem bewährten 550L 4-Band parametrischen EQ und APIs berühmtem 10-Band Grafik-EQ der 560L Serie wählen. Die neue 560L-EQ-Emulation fängt die komplexen Bandinteraktionen, Clip-Points und musikalischen Filter-Amp-Verzerrungen der begehrten API-Hardware ein, mit denen Du schnell Gitarren verfeinern und formen, Drums Aggressivität verleihen und Vocals mit analogem Punch, Low-End-Transparenz und ultra-tighter Abbildung nach vorne bringen kannst.
Instant Magic: Der 212L Preamp mit Unison Technologie
Die API Vision Channel Strip Collection wird mit Apollo Interfaces noch besser, dank der Unison Mic Preamp Technologie. Du erhältst mit Unison alle wichtigen Impedanzwerte, "Sweet Spots" der Verstärkungsstufe und Schaltungsverhalten von APIs legendärem 212L-Preamp über die bidirektionale Steuerung und Kommunikation zwischen der Software und den Mikrofonvorverstärkern deines Apollo. Du erhältst außerdem die gleichen Funktionen wie in APIs Flaggschiff Vision Console, einschließlich eines Mic/Line-Schalters, eines dedizierten Cut-Filters und eines -6 dB-Pads.
Gestalte Dynamik mit dem 225L-Kompressor
Der 225L ist ein vielseitiger, charaktervoller Kompressor, der auf jedem Instrument und in jedem Genre brilliert — von einer einzelnen Spur bis zu einem ganzen Mix. Außerdem kannst Du mit den wählbaren "New"- und "Old"-Funktionen zwei schmackhafte Kompressionsarten auswählen, von mild bis stark.
Kreativ werden mit API Gate/Expander und Filtern
Mit dem ultraschnellen 235L Noise Gate/Expander kannst Du ganz einfach die Räumlichkeit und den Attack einzelner Audioquellen wie Kick-Drums oder Bass-Synthesizer formen und auch lautes Drumkit-Klappern und knorrige Gitarrenverstärkergeräusche unterdrücken. Die passiven, voll durchstimmbaren Hoch- und Tiefpassfilter des 215L eignen sich perfekt für eine breit angelegte EQ-Bearbeitung, mit der Du Dein Ausgangsmaterial professionell bearbeiten kannst, während der ursprüngliche Klang erhalten bleibt.
“The accuracy of the UAD API plug‑ins is incredible. I'll turn up the preamp gain to drive a guitar, or simply add some clean gain if I’m tracking Alicia Keys' piano. So versatile!”
– Ann Mincieli (Alicia Keys, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey)
“Getting to choose between two legendary API EQs takes the UAD API Vision Console Channel Strip to another level.”
– Tony Platt (AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Bob Marley)

– John Paterno (Robbie Williams, Badly Drawn Boy, Bonnie Raitt)
“The API Vision is a great hybrid of that vintage API sound, plus all the air and quick transient response you want in a modern console. It captures that unique API flavor and tone, plus dynamics, in a single plug‑in.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)
“API should stand for Amazing Punch Immediately. Dub, Complextro, and every other club genre is about to explode with the UAD API Vision Channel Strip Plug-In.”
– David Isaac (Marcus Miller, Luther Vandross, Eric Clapton)
“The UAD API Vision Channel Strip is another killer channel strip. It's an all-in-one coloring box.”

UAD is on the wrong path!
My previous API Channel Strip is rendered useless because it's now a legacy version, which means that all my old presets can't be opened with the (NOW) legacy version!!! What the Hell UAD???
Is this the path your company is choosing? Mistreating costumers that build your business?A. T

Pricing is illoyal to loyal users
Minor update in sound (if one can hear it), nice update in workflow (changing EQ module), absolute garbage in service and loyalty. I do have the now legacy channel strip, the API compressor AND the EQ modules and am supposed to pay 149 Euros for this mini Update? I would like to use the EQ switch function and the plug in itself is good (I guess - the legacy one is). But this move from UA makes me wonder about alternatives to their stuff.

Upgrade should be a quarter of the price listed at least! or FREE of course!

The best Channel Strip on the UAD platform
The API Channel Strips for UAD have always been really good. Really easy to dial in to get what you want. Gate on this is awesome and can be dialed in for any situaiton. Especially if you want an all-purpose Unison enabled channel strip, this is the way to go in my opinion.

API Vision Console Gone?
"UAD Ultimate 9 is the most comprehensive UAD plug‑in bundle available. With all 107 UA‑developed plug‑ins, including top‑sellers from Neve, SSL, Fender, API, Ampex, Capitol Studios, and more — you get a fully‑stocked analog studio at huge savings."
The UAD Ultimate copy needs updated if you really mean to withhold this API Vision Console update from UAD Ultimate owners.D. Wilson
Even better!
I had the MK1 version of this collection and loved it. This new version improves upon the previous one by making the overall layout and workflow much more accessible. The sound is still stellar and punchy, and the ability to offload the console to native DSP is just icing on the cake! Try slapping the console on every track in a project. Highly recommended from a sonic and workflow standpoint!

Dumpster fire decision UAD
The best way to get back at UAD for doing this is to start buying Warm Audio products and quit buying into the gimmick of these plugins. The emulations are good but they are missing the warmth and fatness of real analogue outboard gear. Try a WA76 and ask yourself why you need to spend another dollar on a plug-in ever again.
K. Kim
too bad.
It is a collection because it is a collection

I've been backing away from UAD for the last couple years. Why am I re-buying stuff I've owned since the first versions came out? $150 for a very subtle sound upgrade (which is highly subjective, anyway) is stupid. Computers can hack lots of native plugs these days, and UAD is being matched and surpassed in quality at every turn. You're not the only game in town any more, UAD. I'm running out of reasons to stick with you. I got onboard with the UAD platform at the very beginning. Nothing gold can stay.
s. mcclintic
wait, i get to pay again for it...?
as with the Neve plugs we get to pay the same price as the sale when we've already purchased these no legacy products? C'mon Avid...I mean UA. And while id love to have the graphic EQ in my Vision strip its not worth another 150$. SHould be a way deeper discounts for "leagcy" customers!

This was my favorite plugin, while it still worked
I've been using the Vision Channel Strip for about a year or so. It was my favorite plugin. I loved putting this thing in my unison slot. Sounds great whenever I want to scoop the mids for guitar. Crank the preamp and compress the hell out of a bass guitar, and you're in business. I also used it in my DAW for my kick and snare channels in nearly every single project. Adds some great punch to the kick, and I love the crack it adds to the snare's high end. Unfortunately, I can no longer use the plugin ever since the new version came out. That's right. The legacy version does not work. When I select the legacy version, the plugin gets disabled and I get an error message saying that it's not authorized. It happens in my DAW and in console. I have tried to reinstall, but I am still having issues. So it's just money down the drain at this point. And then asking me $150 to upgrade? Throw away more money? I call shenanigans. I don't mean to sound rude and I do want to emphasize that this is an incredible plugin (when it works), but this is just unbelievable.

Overall good
EQ, Compressor, gate/expander, pre-amp all in one

Good Plugin repeated
Heck of a good plugin for one that wishes to experience API, and will be a great deal when the year end sales appear. Like others, i agree that it is a pricey upgrade, especially when one already owns the previous, AND the 2500 buss comp. Nice tho, that one has everything in one instance, quicker, and should equal less dsp in the long run. Perhaps UAD will have a soft spot for us loyal customers whom had the previous, and upgraded??
S. Layton
Not interested
How can you expect Luna to gain real leverage in the market with this pricing from your own customers?
A. Aubry Carlson
Not cool LEGACY stamp.
When you pay the full price of the now "LEGACY" plugin, and your upgrade price if the same of the intro one for new users (or when it will be on sale at -50%), that's the perfect example of a company screwing old customers.
I think what bothers me the most is now the LEGACY stamp written on the plugin now. This isn't very cool when you have clients at your studio and your plugin has legacy written all over it. Makes you feel cheap and as if your equipment was outdated. Very disappointed in UAD on this one.B. Hoener
REALLY WTF!!!!
$149.00 for anyone? I already bought all of the API Stuff And now I can buy it again? And then buy an API Package that ONLY works in LUNA for anothe $350.00? OK RIght! Man, I love UA but this is Bull$h!T
