Apogee Electronics has introduced a new audio plugin which brings the sound of Bob Clearmountain’s Neve 8068 console to your DAW.
Clearmountain’s 8068 features comprehensive modeling of the entire channel strip. From the mic and line input stage to the EQ and fader module, the plugin authentically recreates the complete signal path that Bob relied on at The Power Station.
This audio plugin 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 $99, Clearmountain’s 8068 brings the harmonics, warmth, and unparalleled sonic character of Bob’s personal Neve 8068 console into the hands of producers, engineers, and musicians worldwide.
Clearmountain’s 8068 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.
- Authentic Console Workflow: The fader’s impact on frequency response and harmonics is fully modeled, creating the immersive feel of mixing on a physical console.
- Auto Gain for Mic Mode: Ensures consistent levels, even when pushing the saturation for added texture.
Clearmountain’s 8068 for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is priced $99 USD at Apogee. The plugin is also available from Plugin Boutique where customers will also get the Soft Limit plugin for free with a purchase until July 14th, 2025.
