Do you dream of getting tactile control over a vocal channel strip of a classic British console’s drive, a Tube-Tech CL 1B, and a UAD Manley Massive Passive?
Or how about using two hands to find and fix problem frequencies in a drum track, then instantly adding richness with a combination of the Weiss EQ MP and the UAD Fairchild 670?
No problem. Let us show you how.
Console 1 Mixing System is the ultimate DAW mixing experience. It lets you — the mix engineer — decide which processing you want to be hands-on with while using Console 1 Channel Mk III. Compatibility with over 100 Universal Audio (UAD2) and Softube plug-ins means you are guaranteed to find the workflow enhancements you need to take your mixes to the next level.
To assign the Console 1-compatible plug-in of your choice, follow these three simple steps:
1. Hold the Load Strip/Section button down
2. Press the section button of your choice
3. Use the red Volume/Select knob to find the plug-in you want and click the OK button.
That's it! Now, selecting the section will give you hands-on control and load the audio processing of your favorite plug-in within the Console 1 Channel Strip.
Pro tip: You can save your favorite channel strips as a preset by using the shift function and clicking save on the top-right-hand side of your Console 1 Channel Mk III. Recall a preset by using the load strip button to select your previously saved preset.
If you own UAD2 or Softube plug-ins, the list below will tell you which are compatible with each section of Console 1 Channel (all versions). Follow the three steps above to create your dream channel strips in Console 1.
