Transform LUNA Recording System into API's flagship analog console.

API analog consoles are at the heart of some of the best‑sounding albums ever recorded. From Fleetwood Mac's Rumours to Radiohead's In Rainbows, API desks add character, color, and punch to everything that passes through them.

The API Vision Console Emulation Bundle turns LUNA into a full API console. Track in real time through API preamp and channel modules, then mix with API's illustrious analog summing and bus compression — seamlessly switching between low-latency tracking using Apollo DSP, and high-powered native mixing within LUNA.

Transform LUNA into API's flagship Vision Console, using the world's first true end‑to‑end console emulation

Track in real time through complete circuit emulations of API's iconic L-Series Unison-enabled preamp, EQs, compressor, gate, and filters

Shape tracks using API channel strips in LUNA, without managing multiple plug‑in windows

Get "big console" sound with all of the cumulative analog character, rich nonlinearities, and transient clipping

Sum individual channel buses or your entire mix through API's hybrid voltage/current summing circuits

Add glue and tone on buses and the master with the inline API 2500 Bus Compressor

TAKE A LISTEN

A Genuine API Console, Right on your Desktop

A Genuine API Console, Right on your Desktop

Built into the fabric of LUNA's mixer, the API Vision Console Emulation is the first of its kind. A complete, end‑to‑end emulation, these LUNA Extensions let you fill your LUNA sessions with rich API tone — and without floating plug‑in windows. You can quickly "paint" API Vision Console channel strips across your entire mix — and sculpt your sources using API's classic L‑Series channel modules.

Everything you Need to Record & Mix

Everything you Need to Record & Mix

Each channel strip in the API Vision Console Emulation gives you access to six of API's iconic L-Series modules. From the punch and presence of the 212L preamp and colorful 225L compressor and musical 235L gate/expander, to the powerful tone shaping of the 550L/560L EQs and sweepable 215L Hi and Lo pass filters, you can sculpt with bold API tone — in real time.

Add API Analog Summing for Rich Harmonics

Add API Analog Summing for Rich Harmonics

When audio sources flow through an API console — specifically the 2520 op‑amps and custom output transformers — natural analog nonlinearities work together, creating musical harmonics and transient clipping. The API Vision Console Emulation expertly captures all of the Vision Console's hybrid voltage/current summing circuit, giving your summed signals punch, depth, and character for a mid‑forward, lively mix.

Classic In-Line API Console Compression

Classic In-Line API Console Compression

Revered for adding energy and movement, the Vision console’s "in-line" version of the API 2500 Bus Compressor gives your buses and master fader all of the analog glue and mid-forward attitude that put API on the map. Easily apply this fanatically detailed emulation — including its powerful Thrust control — on drum buses, synths and more for authentic, unmistakable API punch.

The First of its Kind

The First of its Kind

From the input stage to bus summing and the master fader, there's never been a digital workflow that so thoroughly emulates the large-format analog console experience like the API Vision Console Emulation. Now you can harness the same inspired workflow used on countless hit records, complete with the cohesion, character, and color of a classic API desk.

Beyond LUNA…

Beyond LUNA…

The API Vision Console Emulation Bundle also includes UAD plug‑in versions of the API Preamp, Vision Channel Strip Collection, and API 2500 Bus Compressor, letting you track and mix in real time with Apollo and your favorite DAW.

Very good Api channel strip

Impressed

I wasn't sure how much I would like or use this plugin, but because it sounds so good I'm loving it and using it all the time! Well done UA.

Sound is good, but

Yes, the sound is good, saturation on Mic input is great, but it is not available as console or UAD2 even if they promise you can claim, in fact its not working, it is just another plugin.
And the handling of this rotating knobs is a nightmare. Support is = Zero.

Sounds amazing

I’ve compared it to waves API and it doesn’t even come close to how great UAD sounds

Disappointed to find this does not immediately work as a Luna console

I bought this thinking it would work as a LUNA 'console' since the device being emulated looks the same as the limited-time demo of the 'LUNA extension'., and the name is almost the same, amongst the list of software you are invited to browse when clicking on 'Explore' within LUNA. Very disappointed to find that you cannot load it from the console menu - it's a channel strip, after all.

Sounds great

Nice strip, pleasing analog emulation. Maybe not as subtle as acustica pink for example but it is also way lighter in terms of resources.

One of the Best 2 Bus!

This plugin sounds so good on a drums!
Then I tried it on my guitar, bass and vocal busses! Wheeeew! It gave it a nice glue and gelled the mixes together as a record! Don’t pass up this one!

The Strip

I can mix all channels only with that. It’s a go, put it on every channel and be happy.

Color Api

Me encanta por ser un compresor con un carácter bastante transparente aunque te suma un pequeño plus análogo que es muy dulce de escuchar.

API is wonderful

Préamp hyper musical qui fait "briller" les voix. Simple, il suffit de l'insérer sur une tranche et ça marche tout seul.

Good, but no sidechain support when using with UAD-2

It's just a shame the UAD-2 version for Apollo does not support sidechain, only the native seems to have this, otherwise good compressor.
