API BOX 6 months in...

Six months into owning the API BOX2 Console I've settled into a workflow with a true blend of analog and plug-in processing. like any well integrated system it's hard to say how much any single component is making the difference. I know it was a significant decision to allocate the drums to the left side of the console - for analog EQ and compression. Also creating the parallel drum bus on the analog board using analog compression.

The master bus insert chain is a monster and it's definitely adding a lot.

One thing I didn't mention In the video is I've been using the Patchrat app on my phone to document settings and it's normally a subscription but when you buy any piece from audioscape you get a complementary subscription... I actually find the GUI for that app pretty annoying in general and difficult to document quickly but one really nice thing is that you can take pictures with your phone and it will specifically save them with the piece of gear that you're trying to document. I tried just creating folders on my phone for documentation pictures and it just gets too unruly. With the app I can very quickly clone a project, rename it, it already has the gear I need in the order that I need and all I have to do is take the pictures. So for now that's been working. I'm finding I can recall a mix in roughly 5 minutes Which is well worth the effort for the payoff.
