Plugin Alliance has unveiled the new 50 Series from Lindell Audio, designed to transform DAWs into an analogue mixing console.

The Swedish brand’s new plugin range has been engineered to capture the sound of API consoles, preamps and EQs. Users can choose between three classic EQs – the  semi-parametric 50A EQ for three-band processing, the 50B for four bands, and the 60 as a precision graphic EQ for significantly  reshaping sounds.

Meanwhile, the VCA compressor models API’s 2500 series compressor with additional controls. Furthermore, the included FET compressor has been designed to replicate the tone and ease of use of the original 500 series as it is modeled after the acclaimed API 525 compressor.

In addition, there are 72 different TMT channel emulations in one plugin; three switchable EQs modeled after the 500 series lunchbox designs; two switchable compressors; classic API noise gate and expander emulation; classic API preamp tone capture with automatic gain compensation; continuously variable THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and virtual GAIN controls to add saturation and/or simulated analogue noise independently or globally; and scalable UI (User Interface) to adapt to different screen sizes and workflows.
