Colin is super cool, down to Earth, passionate, and has been creating magic for over 20 plus years. Amazing times

Ive never met Colin (yet). But he seems like the coolest guy ever

[SmileysRevenge]

People here complaining about the 7k price tag without realizing that 16 channels of any decent rackmount compressor would cost way more and do way less in comparison.

The drums at the start of the video sound exceptionally awesome. One must be a genius to design such a device, very cool product.

Yes, Colin ... Mitch is VERY smart :)
Good video 👍🏻. Hybrid mixing is here to stay.

Colin is hilarious! This looks like the beez neez. Awesome video Mitch!

Its alive! Dynamics. Punch. No digital artifacts. Such a great thing.

[curtisunit]

Great idea! Can it not work with other daws? Many of us use Logic, Cubase, Nuendo or Ableton. Is it PT exclusive?

[soundeducation]

Great! I hope at some point they add analog EQ. If so, they can take my money

[kikiu]

What exactly is a an analog processing box?

[adammusic]

Are there any A/B mixes done on the APB vs just McDSP plugins so we can actually hear how this baby gets it's groove on?... Sound samples and songs would be VERY nice to access and listen to!

[bighousemusic]

Is acoustica audio listening are they learning from collin if they do this the uh would be the king forever

[eprotz]

I don't get it, how's that analog if you are sending digital through thunderbolt? Does it convert d/a and than process it as electrical signal? Sounds more as DSP like UA chips but ala mcdsp...

[citizenworld]

First time I ever saw Mitch stuck for words.

[gorillachillaproductions]

powercode did this 20 years ago, they are so new aintthey ?

[davidvalens]

This would be awesome if it also worked with acoustica audio plugins

[lincolnmmitchell]

I don't understand the signal flow

[wadewilliams]

Is this not what UAD does? ..in terms of the plugin telling the circuit inside the Apollo twin how to behave / what to be ?

[latenightslide]

got mine @mcdsp FIRE....For everyone saying why would i get this I mean 16 wesaudio Dione's would be 16K+ you can get that for 7k mannn game changer
