Schnalfi 27.08.2018
Ressourcensparendes Plugin. EQ-Emulation der grandiosen 550A + 550B. Manchmal etwas fummelig die beiden übereinanderliegenden Regler für 1 Band einzustellen. Tipp: doppelklick auf die Frequenz, bzw. Gain-Zahl. Geht schneller, als den Mauszeiger rauf und runter, bzw. links und rechts rumzuschieben.

Der Vergleich mit den Originalen ist leider so eindeutig, dass man - auch wenn es vermutlich ein "gutes PlugIn" - kaum mehr als 3 Sterne vergeben kann...

Sehr gut !
Schenzer 09.02.2020
Ich liebe verschiedene EQs, neben den obligatorischen Standards wie FabFilter, Waves Q10, SSL Channel oder auch die Standard EQs verschiedener DAWs nutze ich auch sehr gern diesen API EQ, bzw. die Simulation davon ;)
Ich persönlich nutze es sehr gern in meiner Bass und Drum Subgruppe, dort regelt der API relativ aggressiv und breitbandig, jeweils ein Klick weiter oder runter macht sich schon deutlich im Sound bemerkbar.
Definitiv nicht für chirurgische Eingriffe geeignet, da ist der ProQ von FabFilter der Standard .
Jedoch für generelle Boosts oder Absenkungen die ruhig etwas ,,gröber'' sein können und mit einer gehörigen Portion mehr Charakter, dafür isser bestens geeignet ! Perfekt für Drums, meiner Meinung nach aber auch für andere Sachen, z.B. Bass
Gefällt mir sehr gut, nutze dieses Plugin fast in jedem Mix !

Api EQ 550 A y B
PACÚ 22.05.2020
Muy contento con el equalizador. Me arrepiento de no haber comprado el pack entero. Creo que había una oferta pero lo vi tarde. Pero contento, le da un sonido genial, muy cálido y profesional. Si se aprende a utilizarlo correctamente, es espectacular.

API 550 für Drums und Voice
netzewerfer 19.08.2020
Ich benutze digitalisierte "alte" Module für die Abmischungen. Den API 550 setze ist hauptsächlich für Drums und Voice ein. Es bietet genügend Power für die Durchsetzung der gewünschten Drum-Frequenzen (bei mir Stick und Fell-Plopp, und kann auch Stimmen gut unterstützen.
