Apogee Clearmountain's 8068 Channel Strip Plugin is a digital homage to the legendary Neve 8068 console, revered for its rich harmonics and classic warmth. This plugin goes beyond typical Neve-inspired offerings, modeling the entire channel strip, from input stage to fader module, preserving the console's iconic sound. It's a dream for producers seeking analog vibes in a digital realm, with presets crafted by Bob Clearmountain himself. While it shines with musical EQ and saturation options, some may find its $99 price tag a bit steep for a single plugin. But for those chasing that authentic '80s studio magic, it's a worthy investment.

Apogee Clearmountain's 8068: Get Bob's famous Neve Channel Strip in your DAW - gearnews.com

While Apogee Clearmountain's 8068 Channel Strip plug-in offers musicians a chance to capture the iconic sound of Bob Clearmountain's Neve console in their DAW, it seems to be more of a solid addition than a groundbreaking one. The detailed recreation of the console's EQ curves and preamp warmth is commendable, but the review doesn't suggest any revolutionary features or must-have elements that set this plug-in apart from other vintage emulations. In short, it's a nostalgic trip for those who covet that classic sound, but it might not be the standout choice for everyone.
