Apogee Electronics announces the Clearmountain's 8068 plugin
Apogee Electronics proudly introduces the newest addition to the Clearmountain plugin series: Clearmountain’s 8068. This audio plug-in captures the legendary sound of the Neve 8068 console that defined countless hits recorded by Bob Clearmountain during his transformative years at The Power Station in New York City, one of the most iconic recording studios in music history. Priced at just CHF 95, the plugin brings the harmonics, warmth, and unparalleled sonic character of Bob's personal Neve 8068 console to producers, engineers, and musicians worldwide. Apogee meticulously modeled every detail of Bob’s personal console with the Clearmountain’s 8068 plugin, preserving its unique character and the sonic magic that made these recordings timeless.
Beyond the Preamp: The Full Neve 8068 Channel Strip
What distinguishes Clearmountain’s 8068 from other Neve-inspired plugins is its comprehensive modeling of the entire channel strip, rather than just the preamp. This plugin authentically recreates the complete signal path that Bob relied on at The Power Station, from the mic and line input stage to the EQ and fader module.
Key Features:
- The Full Channel Strip: Experience the harmonics, frequency response, and musicality of the Neve 8068, including its transformative fader module.
- Rich, Musical EQ: With more EQ points than the classic 1073, the 8068 EQ is inherently wide and musical—perfect for shaping drums, vocals, and strings. A high-Q mode offers additional precision when needed.
- Mic & Line Modes: Choose between clean, detailed line-level operation or mic mode for harmonically rich saturation.
The Clearmountain 8068 will be available on June 24, 2025.
