From its beginnings in 1968, the API sound has been a favorite of audio engineers. Hundreds of API consoles are still in daily use in the world’s leading studios, and countless legends – Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers – have been recorded and mixed using the API EQ and compression modules.
Includes:
1. API 2500
The API
2500 is a versatile dynamics processor that lets you shape the punch and
tone of mixes with absolute accuracy. Its dual channel design lets the
2500 also function as two separate mono channels via a single
compression setting. Using auto-makeup gain, you can adjust Threshold or
Ratio while automatically maintaining a constant output level. With
both “feed back” and “feed forward” compression types, the API 2500
boasts a wide range of incredibly musical parameters which have made it a
favorite of engineers the world over.
2. API 560 EQ
Based on the 1967 classic, the API 560 10-Band graphic equalizer
features precision filtering and high headroom, ideal for signal
enhancement and room tuning. The API 560’s curve shaping potential is
unmatched, while API’s unique “Proportional Q” design intuitively widens
the filter bandwidth at lower boost/cut levels and narrows it at higher
settings. And since boost and cut characteristics are identical,
previous actions can be easily undone. For precision equalization with
unmatched versatility, turn to the EQ heard on top recordings for
decades: the API 560.
3. API 550 A / B
Modeled on the late 1960’s legend, the API 550A EQ provides reciprocal and repeatable equalization at 15 points in 5 steps of boost, divided into three overlapping ranges. Its high and low frequency ranges are individually selectable as either peaking or shelving, and a band-pass filter can be inserted independently of all other settings.
The 550B, with its renowned four overlapped EQ bands, is invaluable as both a problem solver and a sweetening device. With 7 switchable filter frequencies spanning up to 5 octaves per band, the 550B’s “Proportional Q” automatically widens the filter bandwidth at minim
Internet Download Manager is a tool for increasing download speeds by
up to 5 times, and for resuming, scheduling, and organizing downloads.
The program will resume unfinished downloads due to network problems, or
unexpected power outages. The program features a full-fledged site
grabber that downloads files that are specified with filters, for
example, all pictures from a Web site, different parts of Web sites, or
complete Web sites for offline browsing. The program supports HTTP,
HTTPS, FTP and MMS protocols, and has an adaptive download accelerator
for MP3 audio, FLV and MPEG video files. The program also features
Download Video and Audio Panels for Internet Exporer, Chrome, Opera,
Safari, Firefox and other Mozilla based browsers that appears on top of a
web-player and can be used to download flash videos from sites like
