dj gear. ~ Focusrite The Liquid Channel The Liquid Channel is a revolutionary professional channel strip that can precisely emulate any classic mic-pre and compressor. ~ Combining radical new analogue pre-amp technology with Dynamic Convolution the application of a unique, level-dependant set of responses to an audio signal. ~ These measured responses, sampled at numerous levels and with every possible setting combination, are applied to the input stream on a sample-by-sample basis for accurate emulation. ~ Liquid pre-amplification Mic-pre emulation can;t be achieved with software alone. ~ Hardware is required in addition to account for the physical interaction with the microphone. ~ As a result, Focusrite invested vast amounts of time and energy into designing and building the ultimate 'liquid' preamplifier, able to match the input impedance and signal path (transformer or electronic) of the device being emulated. ~ Not all vintage units are born equal Second order harmonic distortion is a beneficial artefact of analogue circuits (especially tube and transformer-coupled designs) providing the much-loved 'warmth'. ~ However, often two units of the same type will vary in the amount of second order distortion produced, so an additional control for modifying this vintage property is provided. ~ This allows for precise matching of the Liquid Channel to your own beloved mic-pre. ~ The best of both worlds - analogue and digital The Liquid Channel combines a highly complex, massively flexible analogue front-end with Dynamic Convolution all parameters can be stored in one of 99 program memories. ~ At the press of button, you can reload all mic-pre, compressor and EQ settings for an individual session. ~ If using The Liquid Channel in conjunction with a recording platform (e.g. ~ Pro Tools), both the session files and The Liquid Channel's program memory can be sent via standard data transfer methods, providing a completely mobile recording session. ~ Perfectly emulated vintage classics with the power and ease of use of the digital domain. ~ Infinite expansion and remote control The USB port on the rear panel allows remote control of The Liquid Channel, leaving the processor safely racked away. ~ But that's not all. ~ The software application also serves as an archiving system for additional emulations and program memories, and permits downloads of additional classic units from www.ffliqui lighting; dj gear; drum sticks; orchesta percussion; electric drums; acoustic drums; percussion; drums; midi; sound modules; groove stations; arrangers; portable keyboards; digital pianos; workstations; synths; electric bass; bass; amps; acoustic guitar; electric guitar; musical instruments;
