Custom Channel Strips in Console 1 Mixing System


Do you dream of tactile control over a perfect vocal channel strip made of a classic British console’s drive, leveling your dynamics with a Tube-Tech CL 1B, and then polishing off the top end with a UADx Pultec EQ?

Or how about using two hands to find and fix problem frequencies in a drum track with a FabFilter Pro-Q 3, instantly adding richness with a combination of the Overstayer M-A-S, and then maximizing your level with the Weiss MM-1?

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 (UADx and UAD-2), FabFilter, 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.
