Native Instruments has announced a powerful new channel strip for mixing and mastering that delivers the transparency, precision, and detail of 1980s mastering-grade analog hardware.

Meticulously modeled after some of the most desirable analog studio hardware of all time, bx_console AMEK 200 by Brainworx combines the sounds of the AMEK EQ 200, the AMEK Mastering Compressor, and the Gate/Expander feature from the bx_console AMEK 9099.

This unique combination of sounds and features would be impossible to produce as a hardware unit in the real world, putting a wide range of mixing and mastering possibilities at your fingertips.

bx_console AMEK 200 features

  • With the AMEK EQ 200 section, recreate the unique sound and unwavering clarity of a legendary parametric equalizer from the early 1980s.
  • Get stunningly transparent dynamic control from the AMEK Mastering Compressor’s processing.
  • Precisely mimic the component tolerances found in real analog hardware thanks to TMT – Brainworx‘s patent-registered Tolerance Modeling Technology (US Patent No. 10,725,727). Each track mixed and mastered exhibits subtle variations and unique sonic characteristics, just like the individual channels of an analog console.

All of this is wrapped into a CPU-efficient channel strip plugin, making it a dream come true for audio professionals who love the color and character of vintage analog hardware.

bx_console AMEK 200 for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is on sale for $299 USD through December 7th, 2023 (regular $399 USD). As part of the introductory offer, a purchase also comes with the AMEK EQ 250 for free ($349 USD value).
