Does anyone know who is that playing the guitar track behind Marc Alan Goodman in the first opening clip? Yes API sounds so good for sure.
Nice

We had an API console in Channel One studio in Jamaica, nothing has ever matched the playback sound from it, the guy who owned it, a Chinese Jamaican, used to say to me " its a Godley Sound ". Any recordings done there were and still are instantly recognisable.
The feeling I got with the 512V!
What a great man , that was my first job working in the office . Worked with his family who were the nicest people to work with, learned so much . RIP ❤
I love the API sound! I operated an API/Neve console at Hollywood Sound in the mid ‘80’s-‘90’s and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I’ve been operating ProTools after that and looking to keep those great API Mic pre’s on the way in to ProTools rig.
Great cosign right there -What did you do?
His words and 32 years makes a big cosign!
Great ending words
Big cosign right there!
Cool! I have a PO box right across the street for twenty-five years. Nice to know what's going on at a place I thought was a homeless camp. 🤔 This is absolutely in no way intended to make fun of anyone as i'm told it's gorgeous inside. Thanks for keeping the tradition alive!
HEY ALL YOU F***ERS!!!
He's incorrect. The 550a EQ is built slightly different from the original, after DataTronix started producing them in the 1980s.
The console does look great, I think the end of the day it doesn't matter what console you use if the mixes sound good to people that's the important thing. But for me it would definately be Neve 5088.
I got the info I have been searching for ALLMY LIFE needed in just 2:30min... Thank YOU Joe
I always come to to watch this guy
Kenny is a legendary world class comedian and also pretty decent Detroit techno producer.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
hmmmm
hmmmm
Amazing man 👌
what a rad ceo
Aww my skinny jeans :/
The best!!!
Was just going to go for the standard non compression model because I don’t like my dynamics messed with on guitar either but if you reckon this one works for you I may give it a go 👍
Dear API. Could you do a video on integrating a 1608 (5.1 console) into an ATMOS mixing setup?
Hello Dear API development Team. Please make something like the Elektron ANALOG HEAT mk ii with your fantastic API sound and build quality.
Fast transients babyyyyy
Hi API. Why aren’t you communicating with your customers you have 5.1 consoles so you can print stereo and surround in one go?
If it only had 16 inputs I would buy this. Can't seen paying that much money and not being able to track a band together.
Shawn Everett sums up his mixes on API's, with better results than in his DAW, as he says.
daw? lol...
1:46 this is golden advice
Was any hardware used on the in the box track or just plug-ins?
Mark is a great teacher and engineer/producer!
I jst checked and according to Sweetwater the pedal is no longer being made. I wonder why, if it is so good....
Guau, impresionante por favor cuánto puede costar esta consola? Gracias😊
So does the mix buss really sound the same as the larger full featured consoles?
Buying one for my house Stoked
Cool president, moron interviewer.
Bravo Irko.
When the drummer is glaring at you to get a groove and you don't have a clue, you stomp the bass distortion box and don't worry be happy.
I will be taking notes I want a Grammy too
"8 or 9 API desks..."
I love IRKO! Classy guy. Good engineer. Nice sense of humor.
That was fun!
It's such a treat listening to a great audio track.
If there is one thorn on API's side it's this.....Aside from the artists mentioned in the video, people would like to know more about which albums and artists made use of their classic consoles. API has a great reputation for drum recordings. Rock n Roll albums. But People would like to know more about the classic vocal recordings done on an API consoles. If you do a google search on API for vocals you won't get much information. Goo Goo Dolls. Apetite for Destruction. Mostly Rock material. There is information on the LA console sound. But there is little about which artists used the API consoles for classic vocal recordings. Perhaps an information campaign on that subject would be great for API.
Or instead of just making a text list why not record some new demos of vocals, voice overs, synths or whatever instrument isn't typically known as an "API instrument" like drums and guitars are. Provide raw tracks to people so that they can hear what having that baked in sound can do while mixing. Some of my best mixes were from recording's done on API gear. I would love to claim credit for all of the quality but the truth is you can only push the cheap stuff so far.
You have to Watch Sunset Sound Roundtable....It's all there!
